The real network has two characteristics: heterogeneity and homogeneity. A directed network model with covariates is proposed to analyze these two features, and the asymptotic theory of parameter Maximum likelihood estimators(MLEs) is…
Modelling edge weights play a crucial role in the analysis of network data, which reveals the extent of relationships among individuals. Due to the diversity of weight information, sharing these data has become a complicated challenge in a…
Although the theoretical properties in the $p_0$ model based on a differentially private bi-degree sequence have been derived, it is still lack of a unified theory for a general class of directed network models with the $p_{0}$ model as a…
Differential privacy is becoming a gold standard for privacy research; it offers a guaranteed bound on loss of privacy due to release of query results, even under worst-case assumptions. The theory of differential privacy is an active…
In sensitive applications involving relational datasets, protecting information about individual links from adversarial queries is of paramount importance. In many such settings, the available data are summarized solely through the degrees…
A standing challenge in data privacy is the trade-off between the level of privacy and the efficiency of statistical inference. Here we conduct an in-depth study of this trade-off for parameter estimation in the $\beta$-model (Chatterjee,…
Motivated by understanding the dynamics of sensitive social networks over time, we consider the problem of continual release of statistics in a network that arrives online, while preserving privacy of its participants. For our privacy…
Data stewards and analysts can promote transparent and trustworthy science and policy-making by facilitating assessments of the sensitivity of published results to alternate analysis choices. For example, researchers may want to assess…
Differential privacy guarantees allow the results of a statistical analysis involving sensitive data to be released without compromising the privacy of any individual taking part. Achieving such guarantees generally requires the injection…
For the differential privacy under the sub-Gamma noise, we derive the asymptotic properties of a class of network models with binary values with a general link function. In this paper, we release the degree sequences of the binary networks…
Differential privacy is the state-of-the-art definition for privacy, guaranteeing that any analysis performed on a sensitive dataset leaks no information about the individuals whose data are contained therein. In this thesis, we develop…
Differential privacy is a mathematical framework for privacy-preserving data analysis. Changing the hyperparameters of a differentially private algorithm allows one to trade off privacy and utility in a principled way. Quantifying this…
In modern settings of data analysis, we may be running our algorithms on datasets that are sensitive in nature. However, classical machine learning and statistical algorithms were not designed with these risks in mind, and it has been…
Differential privacy is a popular privacy model within the research community because of the strong privacy guarantee it offers, namely that the presence or absence of any individual in a data set does not significantly influence the…
In recent years, differential privacy has been adopted by tech-companies and governmental agencies as the standard for measuring privacy in algorithms. In this article, we study differential privacy in Bayesian posterior sampling settings.…
We develop differentially private hypothesis testing methods for the small sample regime. Given a sample $\cal D$ from a categorical distribution $p$ over some domain $\Sigma$, an explicitly described distribution $q$ over $\Sigma$, some…
Differential privacy is the leading mathematical framework for privacy protection, providing a probabilistic guarantee that safeguards individuals' private information when publishing statistics from a dataset. This guarantee is achieved by…
Differential privacy (DP) has become a rigorous central concept for privacy protection in the past decade. We use Gaussian differential privacy (GDP) in gauging the level of privacy protection for releasing statistical summaries from data.…
We develop a theory of asymptotic efficiency in regular parametric models when data confidentiality is ensured by local differential privacy (LDP). Even though efficient parameter estimation is a classical and well-studied problem in…
Researchers increasingly use data on social and economic networks to study a range of social science questions, but releasing statistics derived from networks can raise significant privacy concerns. We show how to release network…
