"""RDP analysis of the Sampled Gaussian Mechanism.
Functionality for computing Renyi differential privacy (RDP) of an additive
Sampled Gaussian Mechanism (SGM). Its public interface consists of two methods:
  compute_rdp(q, noise_multiplier, T, orders) computes RDP for SGM iterated
                                   T times.
  get_privacy_spent(orders, rdp, target_eps, target_delta) computes delta
                                   (or eps) given RDP at multiple orders and
                                   a target value for eps (or delta).
Example use:
Suppose that we have run an SGM applied to a function with l2-sensitivity 1.
Its parameters are given as a list of tuples (q1, sigma1, T1), ...,
(qk, sigma_k, Tk), and we wish to compute eps for a given delta.
The example code would be:
  max_order = 32
  orders = range(2, max_order + 1)
  rdp = np.zeros_like(orders, dtype=float)
  for q, sigma, T in parameters:
   rdp += rdp_accountant.compute_rdp(q, sigma, T, orders)
  eps, _, opt_order = rdp_accountant.get_privacy_spent(rdp, target_delta=delta)
