Using privacy budgets
The diffprivlib
package includes statistical functions to explore data, such as the case of mean()
. It computes the private average of array elements. Use the functions from the tools
module of diffprivlib
.
Here, you will use a privacy budget accountant acc
to track privacy loss when computing the private mean on the array ages
from the Heart Failure Prediction dataset.
The tools
module from diffprivlib
and the BudgetAccountant
class have already been loaded.
