\subsection{Extraction of correlation}
\label{subsec:cor-ext}
A common practice for extracting data dependence from continuous data, is by expressing the data as a \emph{stochastic} or \emph{random process}.
A random process is a collection of \emph{random variables} or \emph{bivariate data}, indexed by some set, e.g.,~a series of timestamps, a Cartesian plane $\mathbb{R}^2$, an $n$-dimensional Euclidean space, etc.~\cite{skorokhod2005basic}.

\subsection{Privacy loss under temporal correlation}
\label{subsec:cor-temp}
% The presence of temporal correlation might result into additional privacy loss consisting of \emph{backward privacy loss} $\alpha^B$ and \emph{forward privacy loss} $\alpha^F$~\cite{cao2017quantifying}.
Cao et al.~\cite{cao2017quantifying} propose a method for computing the temporal privacy loss (TPL) of a differential privacy mechanism in the presence of temporal correlation and background knowledge.
