histogramGetEpsilon: Histogram epsilon

In IQSS/PSI-Library: Differentially Private Statistical Releases for Privacy Preservation

Description

Function to find the epsilon value necessary to meet a desired level of accuracy for the differentially private histogram release.

Usage

histogramGetEpsilon(mechanism, accuracy, delta = 10^-6, alpha = 0.05,
  sensitivity)

Arguments

mechanism	A string indicating the mechanism that will be used to construct the histogram
accuracy	A numeric vector representing the accuracy needed to guarantee (percent).
delta	The probability of an arbitrary leakage of information from the data. Should be of length one and should be a very small value. Default to 10^-6.
alpha	A numeric vector of length one specifying the numeric statistical significance level. Default to 0.05.

Details

This calculation is the inverse of the calculation for 'histogramGetAccuracy'.

Value

Differential privacy parameter epsilon
