We introduce three differentially-private algorithms that approximates the 2nd-moment matrix of the data. These algorithm, which in contrast to existing algorithms output positive-definite matrices, correspond to existing techniques in linear regression literature. Specifically, we discuss the following three techniques. (i) For Ridge Regression, we propose setting the regularization coefficient so that by approximating the solution using Johnson-Lindenstrauss transform we preserve privacy. (ii) We show that adding a small batch of random samples to our data preserves differential privacy. (iii) We show that sampling the 2nd-moment matrix from a Bayesian posterior inverse-Wishart distribution is differentially private provided the prior is set correctly. We also evaluate our techniques experimentally and compare them to the existing "Analyze Gauss" algorithm of Dwork et al.
