Assessing the Protection Provided by Misclassification-based Disclosure Limitation Methods for Survey Microdata
Government statistical agencies often apply statistical disclosure limitation techniques to survey microdata to protect the confidentiality of respondents. There is a need for valid and practical ways to assess the protection provided. This paper develops some simple methods for disclosure limitation techniques which perturb the values of categorical identifying variables. The methods are appli...
متن کاملMicrodata Disclosure by Resampling – Empirical Findings for Business Survey Data
A problem statistical offices and research institutes are faced with by releasing micro-data is the preservation of confidentiality. Traditional methods to avoid disclosure often destroy the structure of data, i.e., information loss is potentially high. In this paper I discuss an alternative technique of creating scientific-use-files, which reproduce the characteristics of the original data qui...
متن کاملData confidentiality: A review of methods for statistical disclosure limitation and methods for assessing privacy
There is an ever increasing demand from researchers for access to useful microdata files. However, there are also growing concerns regarding the privacy of the individuals contained in the microdata. Ideally, microdata could be released in such a way that a balance between usefulness of the data and privacy is struck. This paper presents a review of proposed methods of statistical disclosure co...
متن کاملAssessing Microdata Disclosure Risk Using the Poisson-inverse Gaussian Distribution
An important measure of identification risk associated with the release of microdata or large complex tables is the number or proportion of population units that can be uniquely identified by some set of characterizing attributes which partition the population into subpopulations or cells. Various methods for estimating this quantity based on sample data have been proposed in the literature by ...
متن کاملMultistage Masking Methods for Microdata Protection
Publication of statistical information by national agencies in the form of microdata (i.e., individual records) raises the problem of preventing disclosure of confidential information about particular respondents without significantly damaging the utility of the data being protected. Often, statistical agencies disseminate information only in the form of tables. But, microdata—records which con...
