These notes demonstrate how one can define optimization problems whose solutions can be interpreted as the Delta and the Fieller confidence intervals for a ratio of normally distributed parameter estimates. Also included in these notes are the details of the derivation of the slope of a...

The application of RAS-SU requires prior knowledge of the row and column sums of the matrices in question. The Euro method avoids this limitation; however it is only applicable to square matrices and it is not always convergent. In this paper, the global updating method is adapted to supply and...

There exist a huge number of updating methods for input-output tables, some of them simple and others more complex, depending on their formulation. The information available to enable the application of these methods differs; hence certain methods cannot be used in some models. In practice, the...
