Investigation into the use of confidence indicators with calibration

Using a standard input-output table with known marginal totals and independent (and unbalanced) estimates in individual cells as a basis, this paper investigates methods by which the cell estimates can be calibrated to the marginal totals. The paper also investigates the use of confidence indicators for each cell estimate which allow a user the ability to ensure that the amendments required to calibrate the data are more concentrated in the cells in which s/he has smaller confidence.
