Privacy-preserving Inference of Group Mean Difference in Zero-inflated Right Skewed Data with Partitioning and Censoring

Fang Liu, Ruyu Zhou, Yiming Paul Li +2

We examine privacy-preserving inferences of group mean differences in zero-inflated right-skewed (zirs) data. Zero inflation and right skewness are typical characteristics of ads c…

AdaAnn: Adaptive Annealing Scheduler for Probability Density Approximation

Emma R. Cobian, Jonathan D. Hauenstein, Fang Liu +1

Approximating probability distributions can be a challenging task, particularly when they are supported over regions of high geometrical complexity or exhibit multiple modes. Annea…

Comparative Study of Differentially Private Data Synthesis Methods

Claire McKay Bowen, Fang Liu

When sharing data among researchers or releasing data for public use, there is a risk of exposing sensitive information of individuals in the data set. Data synthesis (DS) is a sta…
