Scientific

• CQ a javascript tool for exploring user defined utility parameters in differentially private count query perturbation. Based on (Staal A. Vinterbo, Sarwate, and Boxwala 2012).
• PrivateLR an R package implementing differentially private logistic regression.
• Spectral Swapping a Python implementation of spectral swapping. Based on (Lasko and Vinterbo 2010).
• Fuzzy inference a fuzzy inference engine implemented in R with an example application in fuzzy control.
• Minimum Subadditive Join a minimum sub-additive join algorithm implementation in Python. Based on (Staal A. Vinterbo 2007).
• Rule generation a Python module for synthesizing propositional or fuzzy rule classifiers from data. Based on (Staal A. Vinterbo, Kim, and Ohno-Machado 2005).
• LR GA an R implementation of a genetic algorithm for feature selection for logistic regression. Based on (S. Vinterbo and Ohno-Machado 1999).
• Python ARFF an ANTLR grammar for the ARFF data format with a Python module for reading and writing ARFF files.
• EDA an Estimation of Distribution Algorithm (EDA) library in C++, with an application to the traveling salesman problem (TSP).

Other Fun Stuff
