RANGE-LIMITED DATA OBJECT LINKING AND EQUIVALENCE

摘要

A method for data object linking and equivalence includes collecting a plurality of data objects, each data object having a respective quantity falling within a predetermined range of acceptable data object quantities, implementing an optimization procedure to link pairs of opposing data objects of the plurality of data objects with one another, the optimization procedure having a constraint that the respective quantities of each pair of opposing data objects fall within a predetermined offset magnitude of one another, determining, for each linked pair, an offset amount for the linked pair of opposing data objects, and applying, for each linked pair, the offset amount to a record associated with one of the linked pair of opposing data objects to attain equivalence of the linked pair of opposing data objects.
