Computer Assisted Mass Appraisal: An International Review

by William J. McCluskey, Alastair Adair

Overview

First published in 1997, this volume emerged in response to the need for material on the research, development, use and application of mass appraisal techniques for ad valorem property tax systems. The primary paradigms discussed include regression, base home technique, adaptive estimation procedure and artificial neural networks. Intending to address a wide range of property types, the authors explored residential, condominiums, retail, office and industrial property as well as agricultural and forestry land.

Editorial Reviews

Surveys the many mass appraisal techniques used around the world in ad valorem property tax systems, ranging from established, statistically based, multiple regression approaches to innovations in artificial intelligence and machine learning. Focuses on such major approaches as various forms of regression, including additive, multiplicative, and hybrid; the base home technique; the adaptive estimation procedure; comparable sales analysis; expert systems; and artificial neural networks. Concludes that the variety of techniques reflects the diversity of conditions in which the common objective is to arrive at assessment fairness at an economical cost.
