Differentially private methods for compositional data

Confidential data, such as electronic health records, activity data from wearable devices, and geolocation data, are becoming increasingly prevalent. Differential privacy provides a framework to conduct statistical analyses while mitigating the risk of leaking private information. Compositional data...
