argus_microaggregation function

argus_microaggregation

calls microaggregation code from mu-argus. In case only one variable should be microaggregated and useOptimal is TRUE, Hansen-Mukherjee polynomial exact method is applied. In any other case, the Mateo-Domingo method is used.

argus_microaggregation(df, k, useOptimal = FALSE)

Arguments

• df: a data.frame with only numerical columns
• k: required group size
• useOptimal: (logical) should optimal microaggregation be applied (ony possible in in case of one variable)

Returns

a list with two elements

• original: the originally provided input data
• microaggregated: the microaggregated data.frame

Examples

mat <- matrix(sample(1:100, 50, replace=TRUE), nrow=10, ncol=5)
df <- as.data.frame(mat)
res <- argus_microaggregation(df, k=5, useOptimal=FALSE)
