X-Weight Pro's methodology combines the mathematical rigor of linear programming with the flexibility of multiplicative raking, delivering unprecedented accuracy and stability.
Three decades of research distilled into a single, powerful calibration engine
Initial calibration using constrained optimization to establish baseline weights while maintaining mathematical constraints.
minimize ||w - w₀||² subject to Aw = tIterative adjustment using multiplicative factors to fine-tune demographic alignment and reduce weight variance.
w₍ₖ₊₁₎ = w₍ₖ₎ × ∏ⱼ (tⱼ / Σᵢ wᵢₖ × xᵢⱼ)^xᵢⱼIntelligent outlier detection and weight trimming to prevent extreme values while preserving statistical integrity.
w̃ᵢ = max(LB, min(UB, wᵢ × adaptive_factor))Our machine learning layer continuously optimizes the calibration process based on historical performance data.
The X-Weight algorithm automatically adjusts key parameters based on sample characteristics:
Every calibration includes optional robustness testing through Monte Carlo simulation:
Generate multiple bootstrap samples preserving original sample structure
Run calibration algorithm on each bootstrap sample simultaneously
Measure variance in key estimates across all simulations
Generate confidence intervals and risk assessments for business decisions
