Geo-imputation

From Wiki.GIS.com

Jump to:navigation, search

Probability based methods to assign a reasonable location or geographic based attribute (e.g. census tract) to an individual by using both the demographic characteristics of the case and the population characteristics from a larger geographic aggregate area in which the individual was geocoded (e.g. postal delivery area). For example if a person's census tract was known and no other address information was available then geo-imputation methods could be used to probabilistically assign that person to a smaller geographic area, such as a census block group.
