pda

A collection of privacy-preserving distributed algorithms for conducting multi-site data analyses. The regression analyses can be linear regression for continuous outcome, logistic regression for binary outcome, Cox proportional hazard regression for time-to event outcome, Poisson regression for count outcome, or multi-categorical regression for nominal or ordinal outcome. The PDA algorithm runs on a lead site and only requires summary statistics from collaborating sites, with one or few iterations. The package can be used together with the online system () for safe and convenient collaboration. For more information, please visit our software websites: , and .
