Abstract We characterize the growth of the Sibson mutual information, of any order that is at least unity, between a random variable and an increasing set of noisy, conditionally independent observations of the random variable. The mutual information increases to an order-dependent limit exponentially fast, with an exponent that is order-independent. The result is constrasted with composition theorems in differential privacy.
