Abstract

Further work is reported on the use of Theil's (1972) entropy decomposition methodology applied to the problem of selecting critical components of a system for the purposes of updating a model is reported. The 'information gain' occasioned by changes in structure from time t to t plus n is used to identify the order in which submatrices in the system need be resurveyed to ensure a model which will have an acceptable level of holistic accuracy at time t plus n. The Washington State interindustry data for 1963, 1967 and 1972 are used in the experiments.
