Abstract:
An example apparatus includes a distance matrix generator to determine a number of remapping combinations corresponding to a first and a second household demographic model, generate (a) a first age-based household demographic model and a second age-based household demographic model and (b) a third age-based household demographic model and a fourth age-based household demographic model, generate a first distance matrix corresponding to the first and the third age-based household demographic model, and generate a second distance matrix corresponding to the second and the fourth age-based household demographic model; a distance matrix identifier to determine a first and a second reassignment distance; and a person identification assigner to assign a person identification number of a first person corresponding to the first household to a second person corresponding to the second household based on the first distance matrix or the second distance matrix.
