Overview Release Date Submission Date Documents
The Government would like to evaluate the use of noise infusion for a demographic survey as a possible privacy-preserving method in the use of federally confidential data. Investigations will focus on use cases where noise infusion may be appropriate and use cases where noise infusion may introduce quality issues that reduce confidence in the use of estimates for decision-making. 06/26/2023 07/17/2023
