binomialDP: Differentially Private Inference for Binomial Data

Overview

The binomialDP package makes it easy to perform differentially private inference for a population proportion in R. The package offers a quick solution to find differentially private uniformly most powerful (UMP) tests, private p-values, and private confidence intervals. Also included in the package are the CDF function and the random deviate generator of the Truncated-Uniform-Laplace (Tulap) distribution.

Installation

To install the package, run one of the following:

## The latest official version from CRAN
install.packages("binomialDP")
library(binomialDP)

## The latest development version from Github
install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("tranntran/binomialDP")

Examples

Please see Get Started for the package demonstration and working examples.
