Description
In Cookie monster, if only a single epoch is considered, we do not need to deduct budget based solely on value
, maxValue
, and epsilon
. We can instead deduct budget based on the actual L_p sensitivity of the histogram (i.e. we can replace value
with lpSensitivity
.
I don't believe this optimization buys you that much for p=1 and we're in the pure DP setting, but maybe it's worth speccing for completeness. Certainly in the case of last touch attribution, this doesn't buy you anything based on how last-touch is spec'd today.
I'd love to hear use-cases where this is really critical for the Laplace case.
