Liew, Chong K.; And Others
Journal of the American Society for Information Science, v36 n5 p322-29 Sep 1985
Introduces two data distortion methods (Frequency-Imposed Distortion, Frequency-Imposed Probability Distortion) and uses a Monte Carlo study to compare their performance with that of other distortion methods (Point Distortion, Probability Distortion). Indications that data generated by these two methods produce accurate statistics and protect privacy of individuals are discussed. (13 references) (EJS)
