ldpdist: Local Differential Privacy Tools for Distributional Inference

Estimates cumulative distribution functions and quantiles under local differential privacy. Provides isotonic and divide-and-conquer distribution estimators, aggregation across independent surveys, online inference for single and multiple quantiles, and asymptotic quantile confidence sequences. Also estimates category-specific subdistribution functions under asymmetric local privacy. Binary and categorical randomization mechanisms support these procedures. Distribution estimators operate on privatized reports; quantile interfaces simulate sequential local randomization internally. Published methodological sources include Liu et al.
