Privacy-Preserving Distributed Algorithms

v1.3.0 · Nov 17, 2025 · Apache License 2.0

Description

A collection of privacy-preserving distributed algorithms (PDAs) for conducting federated statistical learning across multiple data sites. The PDA framework includes models for various tasks such as regression, trial emulation, causal inference, design-specific analysis, and clustering. The PDA algorithms run on a lead site and only require summary statistics from collaborating sites, with one or few iterations. The package can be used together with the online data transfer system (<https://pda-ota.pdamethods.org/>) for safe and convenient collaboration. For more information, please visit our software websites: <https://github.com/Penncil/pda>, and <https://pdamethods.org/>.
