Statistical Properties of Nonparametric MLE under Laplace Noise
Local differential privacy (LDP) protects individuals in a dataset by perturbing each measurement before release. For real-valued data, a widely used mechanism is additive Laplace noise. We study the problem of estimating the distribution of the latent confidential data from the privatized observations via the nonparam...
