Information Reconstruction via Discrete Optimization for Agricultural Census Data*

In the case of large-scale surveys, such as a Census, data may contain errors or missing values. An automatic error detection and correction procedure is therefore needed. We propose here an approach to this problem based on Discrete Optimization. The treatment of each data record is converted into a mixed integer linear programming model and solved by means of state-of-the-art branch and cut p...

Balancing of agricultural census data by using discrete optimization

In the case of large-scale surveys, such as a Census, data may contain errors or missing values. An automatic error correction procedure is therefore needed. We focus on the problem of restoring the consistency of agricultural data concerning cultivation areas and number of livestock, and we propose here an approach to this balancing problem based on Optimization. Possible alternative models, e...
