1. A device, comprising:
a processing system including a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
obtaining at least one dataset, the at least one dataset including first data pertaining to geographical information of a plurality of entities;
separating the at least one dataset into a plurality of subsets, wherein each subset of the plurality of subsets corresponds to at least one attribute of a plurality of different attributes, and wherein a first subset of the plurality of subsets corresponds to at least two attributes of the plurality of different attributes;
ordering the plurality of subsets in accordance with respective parameter values associated with each of the subsets, wherein each of the respective parameter values corresponds to a supported distance relative to a hub, wherein a first attribute of the at least two attributes has an associated first parameter value of the respective parameter values corresponding to a first maximum supported distance relative to the hub, and wherein a second attribute of the at least two attributes has an associated second parameter value of the respective parameter values corresponding to a second maximum supported distance relative to the hub;
determining that the second maximum supported distance is greater than the first maximum supported distance;
based on the determining, selecting the second parameter value for use with the first subset as part of the ordering; and
based on the ordering, estimating a location of the hub.
