Abstract
This paper presents the results of an empirical test on numerical microaggregation using μ -Argus 3.2. Several scenarios are defined as combination of different parameters: sample size, number of variables used in the microaggregation and number of records per group. The main aim of this work is finding a trade-off between disclosure risk and information loss.
