		For instance, the population of a county is an aggregate of the populations of the cities, rural areas, etc.
		To "clean" a data file is to check for wild codes and inconsistent responses (see Consistency Check); to verify that the file has the correct and expected number of records, cases, and cards or records per case; and to correct errors found.
		Numeric data files written as plain character format files are fairly portable.

	National Historical Geographic Information System
		Approximately 670 gigabytes of data covering the period 1790 through 2000 exist or are in preparation, but they are scattered across dozens of archives and stored in incompatible formats on CD-ROM, magnetic tape, or paper.
		Only a small fraction of these data are available on the Internet, and even those offer only primitive documentation an extraction tools.
		Moreover, census summary data cannot be effectively exploited without clear definitions of each geographic unit, but high-quality electronic boundary files exist only for the 1990 census year.

	Modeling land use decisions with aggregate data. \| Economics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Soil survey data can be used, for instance, to identify the distribution of land in each of the eight land classes for a given county.
		Plantinga develops an approach that accommodates the detailed land quality data, and his results for an application to Wisconsin imply that land use shares typically vary by land quality (for instance, forest shares are greater on low-quality than on high-quality land).
		In some previous land use studies, the data are too sparse to permit estimation of separate models for each county, and data from many counties are pooled to form a restricted but well-posed model of multicounty land use.

		Aggregate visualization and manipulation enables the viewing and interaction of dynamically changing data sets in a graphically meaningful way.
		To be fully dynamic, an aggregate visualization should be customizable to suit the individual's needs and should allow end-users to modify the data through direct manipulation.
		Included are mechanisms for specifying how aggregate data is processed from multiple sources of a distributed application, providing functionality similar to project, select, join, and cross product of relational databases.

	e-Prints Soton - The Information in Aggregate Data
		Ecological analysis involves using aggregate data for a set of groups to make inferences concerning individual level relationships.
		Typically the data available for analysis consists of the means or totals of variables of interest for geographical areas, although the groups can be organisations such as schools or hospitals.
		Fundamental to these inferential issues is the question of how much information is contained in aggregate data and what evidence such data can provide concerning important assumptions and hypotheses.

	DiSC - Querying Aggregate Data
		We introduce a first-order language with real polynomial arithmetic and aggregation operators (count, iterated sum and multiply), which is well suited for the definition of aggregate queries involving complex statistical functions.
		We consider the problem of querying data that has already been aggregated in aggregate views, and focus on queries with an aggregation over a conjunctive query.
		We prove that the equivalence of aggregate queries such as for instance averages reduces to it.

	Structural Shifts Deterministic Regime Switching in Aggregate Data Analysis (ResearchIndex) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Abstract: It is common for the only available data to be aggregated at a level above the micro-unit in question.
		Analyzing aggregate data with ecological regression implicitly assumes constancy of parameters across aggregate units.
		This assumption is rarely tenable in aggregate data analysis since the aggregation process often generates new macro-level observations where the parameters vary across the aggregate units.

		This allows us to differentiate the summary row from the data row where the value is 0.

	XML: Aggregate Data with XQuery
		Oracle XML Data Synthesis (Oracle XDS) is designed expressly to solve the problem of accessing disparate data and aggregating the information in real time.
		Oracle XDS provides a generic service that takes care of all the plumbing with regard to information source access and information aggregation, by providing an easy-to-use declarative framework to plug in various types of datasources and dynamically query across them.
		Because heterogeneous data formats are typically involved in this problem, Oracle XDS utilizes an XML-based approach—it converts input data to XML (using standard or custom functions) and uses XQuery as a declarative XML query language to specify how to consolidate the different pieces of XML information.
