Thus the data anonymized by our method maintains useful knowledge for statistical study. association between a value combination of Q-I and a value of sensitive data, then privacy can be compromised. I and the values of sensitive data, it is not necessary to anonymize methods, anonymizes a data set by randomly breaking the associations between its Q-I and sensitive data, we first define a statistical measurement of anonymity in Section 4.1. attribute) in a data set D and EntropyðQ iÞ be the value of the entropy For example, in the data set in Fig. 1, the two of its quasi-sensitive associations: When a data set is anonymized by the l-diversity algorithm, we the original data set D to get the quasi-sensitive associations AssoD, ./cache/work_hiqnrmu3offw7blky2jcvqsw5i.pdf ./txt/work_hiqnrmu3offw7blky2jcvqsw5i.txt
