Privacy-Preserving Maximum Likelihood Estimation for Distributed Data

چکیده
Recent technological advances enable the collection of huge amounts of data. Commonly, these data are generated, stored, and owned by multiple entities that are unwilling to cede control of their data. This distributed environment requires statistical tools that can produce correct results while preserving data privacy. Privacy-preserving protocols have been proposed to solve specific statistical analysis such as linear regression, clustering, and classification. In this paper, we present methods and protocols for privacy-preserving maximum likelihood estimation in general settings. We discuss both horizontally and vertically partitioned data, and propose procedures that allow participating parties to withdraw from the joint computation. Logistic regression is used to demonstrate our method.

Privacy-preserving Distributed Analytics: Addressing the Privacy-Utility Tradeoff Using Homomorphic Encryption for Peer-to-Peer Analytics
Data is becoming increasingly valuable, but concerns over its security and privacy have limited its utility in analytics. Researchers and practitioners are constantly facing a privacy-utility tradeoff where addressing the former is often at the cost of the data utility and accuracy. In this paper, we draw upon mathematical properties of partially homomorphic encryption, a form of asymmetric key...
متن کاملModified Maximum Likelihood Estimation in First-Order Autoregressive Moving Average Models with some Non-Normal Residuals
When modeling time series data using autoregressive-moving average processes, it is a common practice to presume that the residuals are normally distributed. However, sometimes we encounter non-normal residuals and asymmetry of data marginal distribution. Despite widespread use of pure autoregressive processes for modeling non-normal time series, the autoregressive-moving average models have le...
متن کاملPreserving Data-Privacy with Added Noises: Optimal Estimation and Privacy Analysis
Networked systems often relies on distributed algorithms to achieve a global computation goal with iterative local information exchanges between neighbor nodes. To preserve data privacy, a node may add a random noise to its original data for information exchange at each iteration. Nevertheless, a neighbor node can estimate other’s original data based on the information it received. The estimati...
متن کاملPreserving Differential Privacy Between Features in Distributed Estimation
Privacy is crucial in many applications of machine learning. Legal, ethical and societal issues restrict the sharing of sensitive data making it difficult to learn from datasets that are partitioned between many parties. One important instance of such a distributed setting arises when information about each record in the dataset is held by different data owners (the design matrix is “vertically...
متن کاملThe Development of Maximum Likelihood Estimation Approaches for Adaptive Estimation of Free Speed and Critical Density in Vehicle Freeways
The performance of many traffic control strategies depends on how much the traffic flow models have been accurately calibrated. One of the most applicable traffic flow model in traffic control and management is LWR or METANET model. Practically, key parameters in LWR model, including free flow speed and critical density, are parameterized using flow and speed measurements gathered by inductive ...
