\section{Summary}

\label{sec:eval-sum}

In this chapter we presented the experimental evaluation of the {\thething} privacy mechanisms and the privacy-preserving {\thething} selection mechanism that we developed in Chapter~\ref{ch:lmdk-prv}, on real and synthetic data sets.
|
|
The Adaptive mechanism is the most reliable and best performing mechanism, in terms of overall data utility, with minimal tuning across most of the cases.
|
|
Skip performs optimally in data sets with a smaller target value range, where approximation fits best.
|
|
The {\thething} selection mechanism introduces a reasonable data utility decline to all of our mechanisms however, the Adaptive handles it well and bounds the data utility to higher levels compared to user-level protection.

|
In terms of temporal correlation, we observe that under moderate and strong temporal correlation, a greater average regular--{\thething} event distance in a {\thething} distribution causes greater overall privacy loss.
|
|
Finally, the contribution of the {\thething} privacy on enhancing the data utility, while preserving $\epsilon$-differential privacy, is demonstrated by the fact that the selected Adaptive mechanism provides better data utility than the user-level mechanism.
