Simulation-Based, Finite-Sample Inference for Privatized Data
隐私化数据的基于模拟的有限样本推断
Privacy protection methods, such as differentially private mechanisms, introduce noise into resulting statistics which often produces complex and intractable sampling distributions. In this article, we propose a simulation-based “repro sample” approach to produce statistically valid confidence intervals and hypothesis tests, which builds on the work of Xie and Wang. We show that this methodology is applicable to a wide variety of private inference problems, appropriately…
