Figure~\ref{fig:avg-dist} shows a comparison of the average temporal distance of the events from the previous/next {\thething} or the start/end of the time series for various distributions in synthetic data. As previously mentioned, temporal correlations are inherent in continuous publishing, and they are the cause of supplementary privacy leakage in the case of privacy preserving data publication.
More particularly, we count for every event the total number of events between itself and the nearest {\thething} or the series edge. In this section, we are interested in studying the effect that the distance of the {\thethings} from every event have on the leakage caused by temporal correlations.
Figure~\ref{fig:avg-dist} shows a comparison of the average temporal distance of the events from the previous/next {\thething} or the start/end of the time series for various distributions in our synthetic data.
More specifically, we model the distance of an event as the count of the total number of events between itself and the nearest {\thething} or the series edge.

This study provides us with different distance settings that we are going to use in the subsequent temporal leakage study.

In combination with Figure~\ref{fig:avg-dist}, we conclude that a greater average event--{\thething} even distance in a distribution can result into greater overall privacy loss under moderate and strong temporal correlation.

This is due to the fact that the backward/forward privacy loss accumulates more over time in wider spaces without {\thethings} (see Section~\ref{sec:correlation}). This is due to the fact that the backward/forward privacy loss accumulates more over time in wider spaces without {\thethings} (see Section~\ref{sec:correlation}).
Furthermore, the behavior of the privacy loss is as expected regarding the temporal correlation degree. Furthermore, the behavior of the privacy loss is as expected regarding the temporal correlation degree: a stronger correlation degree generates higher privacy loss while widening the gap between the different distribution cases.
Predictably, a stronger correlation degree generates higher privacy loss while widening the gap between the different distribution cases.
On the contrary, a weaker correlation degree makes it harder to differentiate among the {\thethings} distributions. On the contrary, a weaker correlation degree makes it harder to differentiate among the {\thethings} distributions.
