Pushing the boundaries for automated data reconciliation in official statistics

Chapter 2 proposes an extensions of a popularly applied Denton method that combines several features of other macro integration methods. Chapter 3 argues that an often advocated “Growth rate preservation method” has certain practical drawbacks that are not often mentioned in the literature. Chapter 4 explains that a well-known Denton method does not perform well in a “sequential estimation” setting and proposes solutions to this problem. Chapter 5 examines the use of a macro integration approach for the estimation of Dutch census tables. Chapter 6 considers the problem of the simplification of a set of consistency rules, which is important for any application to a large problem.
