  • On Two Existing Approaches to Statistical Analysis of Social Media Data
    On two existing approaches to statistical analysis of social media data M. Patone∗1 and L.-C. Zhang y1,2 1Department of Social Statistics and Demography, Univ. of Southampton, UK 2Statistisk sentralbyr˚a,Norway May 3, 2019 Abstract Using social media data for statistical analysis of general population faces com- monly two basic obstacles: firstly, social media data are collected for different objects than the population units of interest; secondly, the relevant measures are typically not available directly but need to be extracted by algorithms or machine learning tech- niques. In this paper we examine and summarise two existing approaches to statistical analysis based on social media data, which can be discerned in the literature. In the first approach, analysis is applied to the social media data that are organised around the objects directly observed in the data; in the second one, a different analysis is applied to a constructed pseudo survey dataset, aimed to transform the observed social media data to a set of units from the target population. We elaborate systematically the relevant data quality frameworks, exemplify their applications, and highlight some typical challenges associated with social media data. arXiv:1905.00635v1 [stat.AP] 2 May 2019 Key words: quality, representation, measurement, test, non-probability sample. 1 Introduction There has been a notable increase of interest from researchers, companies and governments to conduct statistical analysis based on social media data collected from platforms such as ∗[email protected] [email protected] 1 Twitter or Facebook (see e.g. Kinder-Kurlanda and Weller (2014); Braojos-Gomez et al.
