Abstract:
|
In an attempt to protect sensitive counts data (discrete data), independent rounding of tabular data cells has been proposed and has also been used by statistical agencies all over the world. In this paper we demonstrate that such a practice not only results in to (1) degradation of tabular data quality and (2) produces non-additive tables, but the strategy also fails to provide adequate protection from statistical disclosure to low count tabular data cells.
