Noise has been used as a way of protecting privacy of users in public datasets for many decades now. Differential privacy is a new standard to add noise, so that user privacy is protected. When this technique is applied for a single end user data, it's called local differential privacy. In this study, we evaluate the effects of adding noise to generate randomized responses on machine learning models. We generate randomized responses using Gaussian, Laplacian noise on singular end user data as well as correlated end user data. Finally, we provide results that we have observed on a few data sets for various machine learning use cases.
