Misspecification, and Uncertainty Quantification in Differential Privacy

Explore a 32-minute lecture on misspecification and uncertainty quantification in differential privacy, delivered by Jeremy Seeman from The Pennsylvania State University at the Fields Institute. Delve into the theoretical guarantees of differential privacy, examining how implementation details are abstracted and why this matters. Learn about adversary public information, privacy in relation to plausible data generating processes, and units of analysis for e-DPZ. Investigate misspecification in z, the design of 4-DPZ mechanisms, and utility and uncertainty quantification. Discuss mechanism choices, operationalization, and the meaning of correcting for measurement error. Consider methodological transparency, design versus adjustment, and inferential adjustment versus post-processing. Gain insights into these complex topics as part of the "Workshop on Differential Privacy and Statistical Data Analysis."
