Computationally tractable robust differentially private mean estimation
Kelly Ramsay
We develop a new, differentially private mean estimator called the balloon mean. The main features of the balloon mean are that it is computationally tractable and enjoys robustnes…

Differentially private scale testing via rank transformations and percentile modifications
Joshua Levine, Kelly Ramsay
We develop a class of differentially private two-sample scale tests, called the rank-transformed percentile-modified Siegel--Tukey tests, or RPST tests. These RPST tests are inspir…

Improved subsample-and-aggregate via the private modified winsorized mean
Kelly Ramsay, Dylan Spicker
We develop a univariate, differentially private mean estimator, called the private modified winsorized mean, designed to be used as the aggregator in subsample-and-aggregate. We de…
