Winter is coming, warm your Analytics Club
Yes and yes! As we are heading into winter what better way but to talk about our increasing dependence on data analytics to help with our decision making. Data and analytics driven decision making is rapidly sneaking its way into our core corporate DNA and we are not churning practice ground to test those models fast enough. Such snugly looking models have hidden nails which could induce unchartered pain if go unchecked. This is the right time to start thinking about putting Analytics Club[Data Analytics CoE] in your work place to help Lab out the best practices and provide test environment for those models.
[ DATA SCIENCE Q&A]
Q:Explain selection bias (with regard to a dataset, not variable selection). Why is it important? How can data management procedures such as missing data handling make it worse?
A: * Selection of individuals, groups or data for analysis in such a way that proper randomization is not achieved
Types:
– Sampling bias: systematic error due to a non-random sample of a population causing some members to be less likely to be included than others
– Time interval: a trial may terminated early at an extreme value (ethical reasons), but the extreme value is likely to be reached by the variable with the largest variance, even if all the variables have similar means
– Data: cherry picking, when specific subsets of the data are chosen to support a conclusion (citing examples of plane crashes as evidence of airline flight being unsafe, while the far more common example of flights that complete safely)
– Studies: performing experiments and reporting only the most favorable results
– Can lead to unaccurate or even erroneous conclusions
– Statistical methods can generally not overcome it
Why data handling make it worse?
– Example: individuals who know or suspect that they are HIV positive are less likely to participate in HIV surveys
– Missing data handling will increase this effect as its based on most HIV negative
-Prevalence estimates will be unaccurate
