| Research Type | Theoretical | The paper focuses on algorithm design, proofs, and mathematical analysis of privacy and accuracy guarantees. It presents theorems, lemmas, and theoretical comparisons (e.g., Table 2 compares asymptotic accuracy guarantees for different differential privacy settings). There are no sections describing empirical studies, datasets, experimental results, or performance metrics from actual implementations. For example, Section 3.1 describes 'Private multiplicative weights for growing databases (PMWG)' and immediately follows it with 'Theorem 5' and a 'Proof sketch', indicating a theoretical analysis. |

| Pseudocode | Yes | Our algorithm for PMW for growing databases (PMWG) is given as Algorithm 1 in Appendix B. |
| Open Source Code | No | The paper provides pseudocode (Algorithm 1 in Appendix B) but does not mention or provide links to any open-source code repositories for the implemented methodology. |
| Open Datasets | No | The paper is theoretical and focuses on algorithm design and proofs of privacy and accuracy guarantees. It defines abstract databases ('a database over some fixed data universe X of finite size N') but does not mention the use of specific, publicly available datasets for experimental training or evaluation. |
| Dataset Splits | No | The paper does not describe conducting empirical experiments with datasets, and therefore, it does not provide any information about training, validation, or test dataset splits. |
| Hardware Specification | No | The paper does not describe conducting experiments or implementations, and therefore, no hardware specifications are mentioned. |
| Software Dependencies | No | The paper does not describe conducting experiments or implementations, and therefore, no specific software dependencies with version numbers are mentioned. |
| Experiment Setup | No | The paper is theoretical and does not describe conducting empirical experiments. Therefore, no experimental setup details, such as hyperparameters or training settings, are provided. |
