Suppression Methodology and Statistical Disclosure Control

Abstract

This article discusses theory and method of complementary cell suppression and related topics in statistical disclosure control. Emphasis is placed on the development of methods that are theoretically broad but also practical to implement. The approach draws from areas of discrete mathematics and linear optimization theory.

Key Words:

• Statistical disclosure control
• Complementary cell suppression
• Linear sensitivity measure
• Linear estimation and validation
• Oversuppression
