The subtitle of this report is ‘Moving from promise to practice’. The report contains a strong call for action, i.e., the strong need for governmental engagement in order to support internet education. In this contribution, research fin...

Differentially Private Ordinary Least Squares

More specifically, we use Theorem B.1 from (Sheffet, 2015) that states that given a matrix A whose all of its singular values at greater than T ( , δ) where T ( , δ) = 2B (√ 2r ln(4/δ) + 2 ln(4/δ) ) , publishing RA is ( , δ)differentially private for a r-row matrix R whose entries sampled are i.i.d normal Gaussians. Since we have that all of the singular values of A′ are greater than w (as spec...

Differentially Private Ordinary Least Squares

Linear regression is one of the most prevalent techniques in machine learning; however, it is also common to use linear regression for its explanatory capabilities rather than label prediction. Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) is often used in statistics to establish a correlation between an attribute (e.g. gender) and a label (e.g. income) in the presence of other (potentially correlated) features...
