Description: Least Squares Anonymization is a statistical method used to protect data privacy by minimizing the sum of the squares of the differences between the original data and the anonymized data. This approach is based on the idea that by adjusting the data in a way that maintains its utility for subsequent analysis, the risk of identifying individuals from the information can be reduced. The technique involves modifying certain attributes of the data so that the statistical relationships between them are preserved while hiding individual identities. This method is particularly relevant in contexts where large volumes of personal data are handled, such as in research and studies, where the integrity of the data is crucial, but so is the protection of participants’ privacy. Least Squares Anonymization is distinguished by its ability to balance the need for useful data with the obligation to protect sensitive information, making it a valuable tool in the information age and data protection.
