This PR adds a small reference tool demonstrating two foundational
disassociability techniques commonly used in privacy-preserving
analytics systems:
contribute to a cohort.
k number of bounded contributions.
What is included
cohort_thresholding.pyA simple, readable Python implementation using only the standard
library. It loads an event-level CSV (user_id, cohort_id, value),
applies contribution bounding and k-thresholding, and produces
aggregated cohort-level metrics.
example_events.csvA small synthetic dataset illustrating how the tool works.
README.mdDocumentation covering:
Purpose
This tool is intended as an accessible reference for practitioners who
need simple building blocks for privacy-aware aggregation workflows,
such as advertising measurement, recommendation systems, and other
event-based analytics pipelines.
The implementation is designed to be easy to read, adapt, and extend
(e.g., with differential privacy, synthetic data, or additional
metrics).
No production code is introduced; this is a documentation-and-example
tool aligned with the goals of the NIST Privacy Engineering
Collaboration Space.
