Abstract:

A goodness-of-fit test is a statistical hypothesis test to see how well sample data fit a distribution. The data may contain sensitive individual data. Thus, we need to design statistical tests that guarantee the privacy of subjects in the data. Differential privacy is a statistical technique that provides means to maximize the utility of queries from databases while measuring the privacy impact on individuals whose information is in the database. We develop a goodness-of-fit test by discretizing a continuous random variable and adopting results on differentially private goodness-of-fit tests for discrete data.
