Description
Apply a supplied direct small-cell publication limit; complementary disclosure assessment is outside this operation.
Public-health summaries depend on who is counted, which observations are verified, and the period and population used as the base. Shares, weighted contributions, and inventory balances describe supplied records; they do not by themselves establish a health outcome or a clinical recommendation.
Apply a supplied direct small-cell publication limit; complementary disclosure assessment is outside this operation.
When to use this tool
Use it for public health data small cell supplied limit when the required inputs and conventions are already available.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter counts, minimum. Keep parallel arrays aligned and use the stated units and conventions.
- Run the calculation. Correct any input error before interpreting a result.
- Read suppressedIndices, releasedIndices, releasedCount. Inspect any known, defined, inclusion, or boundary flags before interpreting numeric values.
Require nonnegative integer minimum and nonnegative counts. Return zero-based suppressedIndices for entries strictly below minimum, releasedIndices for entries at least minimum, and releasedCount.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| counts | Nonnegative cell values to compare with the supplied minimum; no table is redacted. | Required. Array of Safe integer.; maximum items 256. |
| minimum | Whole-number suppression threshold; equality is released. | Required. Safe integer; minimum 0. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| suppressedIndices | Suppressed Indices | Required. Array of Safe integer.; maximum items 256. |
| releasedIndices | Released Indices | Required. Array of Safe integer.; maximum items 256. |
| releasedCount | Released Count | Required. Safe integer. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Equality with the threshold is released. This flags cells only: it does not remove input data, apply complementary suppression, or guarantee anonymity or legal disclosure compliance.
- The field tables describe structural bounds; the mechanics also state cross-field requirements. Malformed input shapes, disallowed keys, and invalid domains cause input errors. Results must remain finite and within the declared output contract. A successful false flag or zero placeholder is distinct from an error.
- Numeric arithmetic uses binary floating point. Exact comparisons have no hidden tolerance or decimal rounding; negative zero is exported as zero. Decimal-text integer operations retain the exactness specifically stated above.
Alternative or Complementary methods
For public health data small cell supplied limit, check the source records and the supplied rule before comparing the result with another method. Use an appropriately validated measurement or analysis method for clinical interpretation.
