APDU Weekly

May 14, 2020

FEATURE

In preparation for the 2020 decennial census, the Census Bureau asked JASON to examine the scientific validity of the vulnerability that the Census Bureau discovered in its traditional approach to Disclosure Avoidance, the methods used to protect the confidentiality of respondent data. To address this vulnerability, the Census Bureau will employ differential privacy, a mathematically rigorous formal approach to managing disclosure risk. 

 

Trending issues in the world of data ? issues of privacy, accuracy, and access ? are profoundly changing how we think about the collection, production, sharing, and use of data. Register for the APDU Annual Conference today to learn how the coronavirus is impacting public data and evidence-based policymaking. Attendees will also hear about outcomes from the decennial census and the privacy and public health issues that are impacting it in 2020. 

APDU is excited to announce that we are delivering the conference virtually through Whova, a conference management app. We have lowered registration fees by 40% to account for the changes, but are working to encourage engagement with other attendees, speakers, and sponsors through Whova app features. Cancellation fees will not apply.
