  • 1. Solving the error localization problem by means of vertex generation Archived
    Articles and reports: 12-001-X20030016609
    Description:

    To automate the data editing process the so-called error localization problem, i.e., the problem of identifying the erroneous fields in an erroneous record, has to be solved. A paradigm for identifying errors automatically has been proposed by Fellegi and Holt in 1976. Over the years their paradigm has been generalized to: the data of a record should be made to satisfy all edits by changing the values of the variables with the smallest possible sum of reliability weights. A reliability weight of a variable is a non-negative number that expresses how reliable one considers the value of this variable to be. Given this paradigm the resulting mathematical problem has to be solved. In the present paper we examine how vertex generation methods can be used to solve this mathematical problem in mixed data, i.e., a combination of categorical (discrete) and numerical (continuous) data. The main aim of this paper is not to present new results, but rather to combine the ideas of several other papers in order to give a "complete", self-contained description of the use of vertex generation methods to solve the error localization problem in mixed data. In our exposition we will focus on describing how methods for numerical data can be adapted to mixed data.

Search help

How do I use the filters and the search box?

  • You can initiate a search by entering keywords or selecting filters (e.g., under Subject, Geography, etc.) on the left side of the page.

  • Filters can be used together or in any combination. Each time you select a filter, the results on the page are updated.

  • To start a new search, click on the Clear all button above the search box or deselect each filter.

  • Specified keywords and filters appear above the search box. You can deselect any or all the tags to refine or clear your search.

How do I refine my search?

  • You can enter keywords in the search box. It is not necessary to use “+” or “, “ or “AND”.

  • You can delete some or all of the keywords from your search string.

  • Quotes around keywords limit the search to a specific phrase.

    • For example, “labour force survey” will limit results to products containing this phrase.

  • Use “or” between keywords to obtain results that contain one or more search terms.

    • For example, labour or­ force or survey will limit results to products containing any or all of these words.

How does the search work?

  • This search looks for results that have your query term in the title, description, subject, geography, product number or other information about the product.

    • For example, when searching the term ‘Diseases’, all results with the word ‘Diseases’ in the title, description or tagged the subject appear.

  • The text within an article or publication are not searched. For full text searching of articles, use the site search.

Sort help

How are the results ordered?

The Sort by feature provides three options:

  • By date – sorts results by product release date starting with the most recent.
  • By relevance is only needed or beneficial when you use the search box and submit a search query. Results are ordered by a combination of where the search term appears in the content, e.g., if it appears in the title, it likely means the product is more relevant to your search; how up to date or new the content in the product is; how popular the product is; and other factors.
  • By title – sorts results alphabetically.

How are the results ordered?

The Sort by feature provides four options:

  • By date – sorts results by product release date starting with the most recent.
  • By most popular – gives priority to results that are most frequently selected by users, followed by the most recent.
  • By relevance is only needed or beneficial when you use the search box and submit a search query. Results are ordered by a combination of where the search term appears in the content, e.g., if it appears in the title, it likely means the product is more relevant to your search; how up to date or new the content in the product is; how popular the product is; and other factors.
  • By title – sorts results alphabetically.
