With response rates that have declined to under 10 percent, public opinion polls are increasingly unreliable. Perhaps even more concerning, though, is that the same phenomenon is hindering surveys used for official government statistics, including the Current Population Survey, the Survey of Income and Program Participation and the American Community Survey.

Volume refers to the large amount of data stored, velocity is the speed at which the data is generated and processed, and variety means the different data formats. The document also outlines some advantages and disadvantages of big data, challenges in capturing, storing, sharing and analyzing large datasets, and examples of big data applications.

Principles of data visualisation 2021

Marié Roux

Visualizing data tells compelling stories that increase research impact. It is important to know the audience and find the key story or message in the data. The type of visualization should be chosen based on the data, goals, and audience. Effective use of color, choosing the right visualization type, and understanding visual literacy principles are important for communicating with visualizations.

1. The document discusses hiring the right team and building a strong company culture. It emphasizes that the first hires will dictate much of what follows, so one should avoid common mistakes and hire only A+ talent. 2. Company culture should not be stated but lived out through actions. It's important but difficult to build a culture that aligns people and allows the company to attract top talent. 3. The new role is chief people officer, and the priorities are to hire 3 excellent teams not just 1, take time with hiring and get help from professionals when filling the first roles.

This document discusses lean analytics and how startups can use data and metrics to iterate their products and business models. It provides examples of how companies like Hotmail, Flickr, and Twitter pivoted from their original ideas. The core of lean is continuous experimentation and iteration to find product-market fit through analytics. Good metrics should be understandable, comparative, and behavior changing. The document discusses frameworks like Eric Ries' three engines of growth - virality, price, and stickiness. It also provides examples of how companies empirically validated problems and solutions through low-cost experiments like Twitter polls and Mechanical Turk interviews.

Impact Hiring: How Data Will Transform Youth Employment

The Rockefeller Foundation

As so many fields have in recent years, entry-level hiring must also make the transition from relying on untested intuition to leveraging the power of data and evidence. Employers now have access to talent analytics tools that can enable them to develop a deep understanding of what attributes drive good performance for their current employees, apply tools to objectively assess these attributes, and access broader talent pools to find individuals with the most-valued attributes. The talent analytics tools that enable this vision for data-driven hiring already exist. The key obstacle to their implementation is institutional will.

Introduction to Data Science

Caserta

Workshop with Joe Caserta, President of Caserta Concepts, at Data Summit 2015 in NYC. Data science, the ability to sift through massive amounts of data to discover hidden patterns and predict future trends and actions, may be considered the "sexiest" job of the 21st century, but it requires an understanding of many elements of data analytics. This workshop introduced basic concepts, such as SQL and NoSQL, MapReduce, Hadoop, data mining, machine learning, and data visualization.

A Statistician's View on Big Data and Data Science (Version 1)

Prof. Dr. Diego Kuonen

Presentation given by Dr. Diego Kuonen, CStat PStat CSci, on November 20, 2013, at the "IBM Developer Days 2013" in Zurich, Switzerland. ABSTRACT There is no question that big data has hit the business, government and scientific sectors. The demand for skills in data science is unprecedented in sectors where value, competitiveness and efficiency are driven by data. However, there is plenty of misleading hype around the terms big data and data science. This presentation gives a professional statistician's view on these terms and illustrates the connection between data science and statistics. The presentation is also available at http://www.statoo.com/BigDataDataScience/.

Towards an Analysis-Ready, Cloud-Optimised service for FAIR fusion data

Samuel Jackson

We present our work to improve data accessibility and performance for data-intensive tasks within the fusion research community. Our primary goal is to develop services that facilitate efficient access for data-intensive applications while ensuring compliance with FAIR principles [1], as well as adoption of interoperable tools, methods and standards. The major outcome of our work is the successful creation and deployment of a data service for the MAST (Mega Ampere Spherical Tokamak) experiment [2], leading to substantial enhancements in data discoverability, accessibility, and overall data retrieval performance, particularly in scenarios involving large-scale data access. Our work follows the principles of Analysis-Ready, Cloud Optimised (ARCO) data [3] by using cloud optimised data formats for fusion data. Our system consists of a query-able metadata catalogue, complemented with an object storage system for publicly serving data from the MAST experiment. We will show how our solution integrates with the Pandata stack [4] to enable data analysis and processing at scales that would have previously been intractable, paving the way for data-intensive workflows running routinely with minimal pre-processing on the part of the researcher. By using a cloud-optimised file format such as zarr [5] we can enable interactive data analysis and visualisation while avoiding large data transfers. Our solution integrates with common python data analysis libraries for large, complex scientific data such as xarray [6] for complex data structures and dask [7] for parallel computation and lazily working with larger that memory datasets. The incorporation of these technologies is vital for advancing simulation, design, and enabling emerging technologies like machine learning and foundation models, all of which rely on efficient access to extensive repositories of high-quality data. Relying on the FAIR guiding principles for data stewardship not only enhances data findability, accessibility, and reusability, but also fosters international cooperation on the interoperability of data and tools, driving fusion research into new realms and ensuring its relevance in an era characterised by advanced technologies in data science.

JeevanKp7

Long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) and novel techniques of evaluating treatment efficacy have enhanced the quality of life and decreased healthcare expenses for COPD patients. The cost of a pulmonary blood gas test is comparable to the cost of two days of oxygen therapy and the cost of a hospital stay is equivalent to the cost of one month of oxygen therapy, long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) is a cost-effective technique of treating this disease. A small number of clinical investigations on LTOT have shown that it improves the quality of life of COPD patients by reducing the loss of their respiratory capacity. A study of 8487 Danish patients found that LTOT for 1524 hours per day extended life expectancy from 1.07 to 1.40 years.
