The Gaussian distribution is widely used in mechanism design for differential privacy (DP). Thanks to its sub-Gaussian tail, it significantly reduces the chance of outliers when responding queries. However, can only provide approximate (ε,δ(ε))-DP. In practice, δ(ε) must be much smaller than size dataset, which may limit use large datasets with strong requirem...

Spatially offset Raman spectroscopy (SORS) is a technique for interrogating the subsurface composition of turbid samples noninvasively. This study generically addresses fundamental question relevant to wide range SORS studies, which how deep probes any specific spatial when analyzing sample or, in turn, what magnitude one should select probe depth. issue addressed by using Monte Carlo simulatio...
