Proving expected sensitivity of probabilistic programs

Program sensitivity, also known as Lipschitz continuity, describes how small changes in a program’s input lead to bounded changes in the output. We propose an average notion of program sensitivity for probabilistic programs—expected sensitivity—that averages a distance function over a probabilistic...
