A multivariate approach to respondent location / L. Li, G. Deecker and P. Daoust.: CS21-0006/1991E-PDF

"This paper reports on the development of a multivariate approach to the problems of locating respondents and data linkage. The paper describes how addresses, postal codes, telephone numbers, place names and legal land descriptions can be used for locating respondents thus linking data to the appropriate geostatistical area. A strategy for combining these spatial elements to improve locational specificity and robustness is detailed. Decision rules to enhance fault tolerance and for tie breaking are outlined. Finally, the potential utility of the multivariate approach to various survey operations and topics for further research are put forth for consideration"--Abstract.
