A Decision-Theoretic Approach to Data Disclosure Problems
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a decision-theoretic approach to data disclosure problems. The approach is innovative because (i) it offers a theoretical framework to develop optimality criteria for the choice of the best form of data release, (ii) it recognizes the different perspectives of the statistical agency and of the users of the data in assessing the extent of disclosure and the quality of the users’ inference associated with different forms of data release. This leads to new measures of disclosure risk and data utility that take into account not only what the users believe they have learned from the data, but also to what extent their inferences are correct.

A major concern of statistical agencies is to protect the confidential information contained in data sets that have to be released. The problem is not trivial since the agency has to find an optimal balance between the needs of the users and the needs of the data providers. Ideally the statistical agency should provide maximum information to the users, preserving the privacy of the individual e...
متن کاملGame-Theoretic Approach for Pricing Decisions in Dual-Channel Supply Chain
In the current study, a dual-channel supply chain is considered containing one manufacturer and two retailers. It is assumed that the manufacturer and retailers have the same decision powers. A game-theoretic approach is developed to analyze pricing decisions under the centralized and decentralized scenarios. First, the Nash model is established to obtain the equilibrium decisions in the decent...

متن کاملA Paradigm for Masking (Camouflaging) Information
This is an expository paper. Here we propose a decision-theoretic framework for addressing aspects of the confidentiality of information problems in publicly released data. Our basic premise is that the problem needs to be conceptualized by looking at the actions of three agents: a data collector, a legitimate data user, and an intruder. Here we aim to prescribe the actions of the first agent w...
متن کاملCoordinating a decentralized supply chain with a stochastic demand using quantity flexibility contract: a game-theoretic approach
Supply chain includes two or more parties linked by flow of goods, information, and funds. In a decentralized system, supply chain members make decision regardless of their decision's effects on the performance of the other members and the entire supply chain. This is the key issue in supply chain management, that the mechanism should be developed in which different objectives should be align...
