Abstract

Inference issues in connection with disclosure risk in contingency tables are considered. For a model which makes no assumptions regarding relationships among cells, Bayes estimators of disclosure risk and Bayes tests for “uniques” are found. Formulas for sample size determination also ensue.

Keywords

Bayes estimators, Bayes tests, hypergeometric distribution, uniques
