Description

Function to find the epsilon value necessary to meet a desired level of accuracy for a stable statistic release.

Usage

stabilityGetEpsilon(sensitivity, accuracy, delta = 2^-30, alpha = 0.05)

Arguments

sensitivity	the sensitivity of the statistic
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 2^-30.
alpha	A numeric vector specifying the statistical significance level.

Value

The scalar epsilon necessary to guarantee the needed accuracy.
