If you get data, then also try to get to know what sort of business questions the company/organization is trying to answer: use the data to respond to the questions. 2. Otherwise (but less preferable) on the internet, e.g.: government data (such as statbel.gov.be) This option has the drawback that it is harder to be original and harder to focus on specific business questions. The data should be original, in the sense that they must not be popular in scien- tific papers or textbooks as illustration of a method. – Number of births per communality – Macro-economical data; per country, european, regional, provinces etc. – Socio-economical data c Maarten Jansen STAT-F-413 — Statistical softwares: introduction p.2 c Maarten Jansen STAT-F-413 — Statistical softwares: introduction p.3 Why not time-series Note on the data size: large enough..

Schaefer Prehistoric Subsistence on the Coast of North Carolina: An Archaeobotanical Study (Under the direction of C. Margaret Scarry.) When European settlers first arrived on the coast of North Carolina, they encountered Native Americans who they described as living in permanent villages and pursuing a mixture of hunting, fishing, and farming. Very little is known of the subsistence practices of people in the area before the arrival of Europeans, however. My dissertation seeks to help rectify this by increasing our knowledge of plant use on the coast during prehistory.

  • Wilkinson's Tests and Econometric Software
    Journal of Economic and Social Measurement 29 (2004) 261–270 261 IOS Press Wilkinson’s tests and econometric software B.D. McCullough Department of Decision Sciences, Drexel University, Philadelphia, PA 19104, USA E-mail: [email protected] The Wilkinson Tests, entry-level tests for assessing the numerical accuracy of statistical computations, have been applied to statistical software packages. Some software developers, having failed these tests, have corrected deficiencies in subsequent versions. Thus these tests have had a meliorative impact on the state of statistical software. These same tests are applied to several econometrics packages. Many deficiencies are noted. Keywords: Numerical accuracy, software reliability 1. Introduction The primary purpose of econometric software is to crunch numbers. Regrettably, the primary consideration in evaluating econometric software is not how well the software fulfills its primary purpose. What does matter is how easy it is to get an answer out of the package; whether the answer is accurate is of almost no impor- tance. Reviews of econometric software typically make no mention whatsoever of accuracy, though Vinod [14,15], Veall [13], McCullough [7,8], and MacKenzie [5] are exceptions. In part, this lack of benchmarking during reviews may be attributed to the fact that, until quite recently, no one ever collected the various benchmarks in a single place (see the NIST StRD at www.nist.gov/itl/div898/strd). A reviewer may well have been aware of a few scattered benchmarks, but including only a few benchmarks is hardly worth the effort. This view is supported by the fact that while the statistics profession has a long history of concern with the reliability of its software, software reviews in statistical journals rarely mention numerical accuracy.
