From: Improving MapReduce privacy by implementing multi-dimensional sensitivity-based anonymization

Q-id (attribute)

Q-id type

Probability

Q-id0 (IQ_value)

Interval IQ_value = [50–150]

P(Q-ID0) = 1/(150 − 50) = 0.01

Q-id1 (Student_country)

Taxonomy tree Student_Country_Level1 = {German, French, Chinese, Kenyan, American…}

Student_Ancestry-Level2 = {Caucasian, Asian, Middle Eastern, African, Red Indian…}

Q-id_level-3 = {human}

P(Q-ID1-L2) = 1/150 = 0.007

P(Q-ID1-L3) = 1/200 = 0.005

Q-id2 (Student_Grade)

Suppression Student_Grade = {A+, A, A−, B+, B, B−, C+, C, C−, D+, D, D−, F}.

P(Q-ID2) = 1/13 = 0.077
