Usage

checkImputationRange(imputationRange, rng, varType)

checkImputationRange(imputationRange, rng, varType)

Arguments

imputationRange	The imputation range entered by the user
rng	The data range entered by the user
varType	The variable type for the histogram data
imputationRange	The imputation range entered by the user
rng	The data range entered by the user
varType	The variable type for the histogram data

varType	The variable type for the histogram data

Details

We check if the imputation range is within the data range because it is a privacy concern. If the imputation range is outside of the data range, NA values will be replaced with values outside of the data range, which will show that there are NA values in the data or skew the result when the differentially private estimate is released.
