A class that implements the basic Laplace mechanism of differential privacy,
for privatizing numeric vector releases.

An implementation of major general-purpose mechanisms for privatizing
statistics, models, and machine learners, within the framework of differential
privacy of Dwork et al. (2006) <doi:10.1007/11681878_14>. Example mechanisms
include the Laplace mechanism for releasing numeric aggregates, and the
exponential mechanism for releasing set elements. A sensitivity sampler
(Rubinstein & Alda, 2017) <arXiv:1706.02562> permits sampling target
non-private function sensitivity; combined with the generic mechanisms, it
permits turn-key privatization of arbitrary programs.
