ck_simpleparams() allows to define parameters for a simple perturbation approach based on a single magnitude parameter (m). The values of epsilon are used to "weight" parameter m in case type == "top_contr" is set in ck_params_nums().

ck_simpleparams(p, epsilon = 1)

Arguments

p

a percentage value used as magnitude for perturbation

epsilon

a numeric vector in descending order with all values >= 0 and <= 1 with the first element forced to equal 1. The length of this vector must correspond with the number top_k specified in ck_params_nums() when creating parameters for type == "top_contr" which is checked at runtime. This setting allows to use different flex-functions for the largest top_k contributors.

Value

an object suitable as input for ck_params_nums().

Details

details about the flex function can be found in Deliverable D4.2, Part I in SGA "Open Source tools for perturbative confidentiality methods"
