  Differentially private statistical estimation has seen a flurry of
developments over the last several years. Study has been divided into two
schools of thought, focusing on empirical statistics versus population
statistics. We suggest that these two lines of work are more similar than
different by giving examples of methods that were initially framed for
empirical statistics, but can be applied just as well to population statistics.
We also provide a thorough coverage of recent work in this area.
