Understanding Hierarchical Methods for Differentially Private Histograms
Summary: Analyzes MSE in DP hierarchical histograms across branching factors, constrained inference, and privacy allocation. Shows optimized branching plus inference improves 1D range queries, while hierarchical gains largely vanish in ≥3D, favoring the Flat method. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
