Methods, systems and apparatus for calibrating data using relaxed benchmark constraints
Methods, systems and apparatus for calibrating data using relaxed benchmarks constraints are described. An example apparatus for generating a unique solution when calibrating data via a calibration model having relaxed benchmark constraints includes a calibration engine to execute the calibration model based on a target loss function, a weight loss function, and a budget parameter. The example apparatus further includes a calibrated weights determiner to determine calibrated weights resulting from execution of the calibration model. The example apparatus further includes a calibration model validator to incorporate a stability parameter into the calibration model in response to determining that the calibrated weights do not provide a unique solution for the executed calibration model. The stability parameter is to reduce an influence of the budget parameter on the calibration model to enable the generation of a unique solution.
