This paper surveys the fields of Statistical Disclosure Control (SDC) and MicroAggregation Techniques (MATs), which are both areas fundamental to the science of secure Statistical DataBases (SDBs). The paper is written from the perspective of a computer scientist with the hope that it will prove to be a source of reference material useful to researchers and practitioners in the field. The paper...

During recent years, organizations and governmental bodies are adopting Linked Data as the publication paradigm for publishing statistical data, moving from CSV and PDF files and relational databases to a more interoperable and accessible system for the web. In this work we introduce the data generation system implemented by the statistical office in the Spanish region of Aragón. The system con...

In many application areas, e.g., in medical applications, it is important to be able to get statistical information about the data without disclosing individual cases. One of the methods to preserve privacy in such statistical databases is to introduce uncertainty, i.e., to replace the exact values with intervals of possible values. In this talk, we show that while the introduction of uncertain...

Connectivity is an increasingly important part of statistical computing, and interfaces to databases are becoming important both in large-scale data mining applications and from the use of smaller personal databases. In this paper we present current work and future plans on interfacing the S language (R and S-PLUS) to databases, in particular to relational database management systems (DBMS).

Recently, Knowledge Discovery on Databases (KDD) has emerged as a promising research area encompassing methods from several disciplines. Particularly, the data mining step of KDD shares most of its goals with unsupervised learning. But data mining methods are biased towards statistical techniques arguing that Machine Learning (ML) methods are not suitable to deal with real-world databases. We c...

introduction: determining the overlap rates is a quantitative method to compare database contents. in this survey, traditional overlap, relative overlap and synthetic degrees of freedom between pubmed as a free database and scopus as a subscription-based one in the cardiovascular disease field have been determined. methods: this descriptive applied research was done during january to june 2009....

introduction: in order to cope with the crisis of serials cost and problems associated with the shortage of budget in libraries and facilitating the access to scientific journals, the principle of open access to scientific publications and usually in the form of electronic journals has evolved during the last 15 years. this research aimed to clarifying the amount of citations of isi web of scie...
