Following the lines of Graf and Bauer (2011), the conditional type 1 error rate 1994 for this scenario simplifies to 3Note that if the treatment with the largest observed interim effect is selected, m is random and therefore also is a random variable.
The output probability refers to privacy budget from the given definition, and the highest scored result is given as output with higher probability when ε is larger; in the interim, when the difference between the output probabilities grows, the security turns out to be less; vice versa, the smaller ε is, the higher the security will be.
