A multivariate Denton method for Benchmarking Large Data Sets Jacco Daalmans and Nino Mushkudiani 20 February 2009
Introduction A man with one watch knows what time it is; a man with two watches is never quite sure
Outline • Introduction • (Extended) Multivariate Denton method • Implementation • Conclusions
Example: pro-rata method Quarter 1: 20 Quarter 2: 20 Quarter 3: 20 Quarter 4: 40 ------------------- Sum 100
Example: pro-rata method Quarter 1: 20 Quarter 2: 20 Quarter 3: 20 Quarter 4: 40 ------------------- Sum 100 Year: 200
Example: pro-rata method Quarter 1: 20 40 Quarter 2: 20 40 Quarter 3: 20 40 Quarter 4: 40 80 ------------------- Som 100 Year : 200
Benchmarking • Adaptation of quarterly values, such that • ∑ Quarters = Year • Preservation of quarterly changes
Drawback pro-rata method Year 1 | Year 2 | Year 3 | 200 100 OK 400
Drawback pro-rata method Year 1 | Year 2 | Year 3 | 200 100 400
Benchmarking • Denton method • ∑ Quarters = Year • Restrictions among time-series are satisfied. • Preservation of ALL quarterly changes (as good as possible)
Drawback pro-rata method Year 1 | Year 2 | Year 3 | 200 100 400
Drawback pro-rata method Year 1 | Year 2 | Year 3 | 200 100 400
Multivariate Denton method • - Denton, Di Fonzo and Bikker. • - Quadratic programming (QP) • - Additive / Proportional model
Extensions • Soft constraints -> Weights! • Ratio constraints -> Weights! • Inequalities -> • Fixed quarters -> Weights!
Weights • Important tuning parameters! • Expressions that are easy to use • Requirements • 1) • 2) Invariance
Implementation • Very large data sets! • QP- problems having • 160,000 variables • 75,000 constraints • - Prototype by using CPLEX • - Optimal solution found in 45 seconds
Simulation study • - On Dutch supply and Use tables 2004-2006 • Cooperation with National Accounts employees • Results: • The most important economic relations could be included 2) Small differences with published outcomes.
Conclusions • As a result of the simulation study we strongly expect that • the extended multivariate Denton method will be successfully implemented
