Authors
Abstract
The paper describes the coded delta scheme, which is one of the methods used by the Census Research Unit, University of Durham, for compacting the 1971 U.K. census data. It evaluates the merits and limitations of the technique in relation to the characteristics of the data set and other techniques available for compact encoding of numeric and string data.
