A Latent Class Modeling Approach for Differentially Private Synthetic Data for Contingency Tables

We present an approach to construct differentially private synthetic data for contingency tables. The algorithm achieves privacy by adding noise to selected summary counts, e.g., two-way margins of the contingency table, via the Geometric mechanism. We posit an underlying latent class model for the...
