PEN Data Cleaning Procedure PEN Data cleaning procedure Step 1: Data submission Data should be submitted as compressed (.zip or .rar) files, this is because MS Outlook (my email client) blocks MS Access attachments, moreover, the databases will often exceed the attachment limit for most email clients and compressing them will help. To compress your files, you can use winzip (shareware), or - ZipGenius: (http://www.zipgenius.it/eng/index.php). Allows you to split the zip file (as would be the case if one file was larger than 10MB and you wanted to split it into smaller parts). - IZArc: (http://www.izarc.org/index.html). - 7-Zip: (http://www.7-zip.org/). Step 2: Data checking Stata cleaning programs are then run on your data. The result of this process is bug report which lists bugs/problems. In cleaning, we identify missing data, inconsistencies (totals do not add up, leading questions show you have some products but there is no data for these products), and Potential data entry errors (or outliers). Step 3: Bug fixing Details on how to read and address the bug report can be found in the document “Reading the bug report”. Note: Not all bugs can be fixed (for example, not all outliers are data entry errors) so, when re-submitting the “cleaned data”, make a note of what could not be fixed. Step 4: Re-submission of Data Having addressed the bugs, the “clean” data are resubmitted for re-checking. Steps 2 and 3 are then repeated until the data are clean (meaning, all bugs have been addressed or can be explained). Step 5: Clearance, Analysis, Accounts Once your data have been cleared, they will be archived into the global database. A cleaned copy will be emailed back to you (in Access, Stata, excel or any format you want). It is also at this point that CIFOR will contact you to arrange the payment of the Honorarium. .

  • False Alarm Test February 2011
    Anti-Virus Comparative - Appendix – February 2011 www.av-comparatives.org Details about Discovered False Alarms Appendix to the Anti-Virus Comparative February 2011 Language: English February 2011 Last Revision: 29th March 2011 www.av-comparatives.org - 1 - Anti-Virus Comparative - Appendix – February 2011 www.av-comparatives.org Details about the discovered false alarms With AV testing it is important to measure not only detection capabilities but also reliability - one of reliability aspects is certainly product's tendency to flag clean files as infected. No product is immune from false positives (FP’s) but there are differences among them and the goal is to measure them. Nobody has all legitimate files that exist and so no "ultimate" test of FP’s can be done. What can be done and is reasonable, is to create and use a set of clean files which is independent. If on such set one product has e.g. 50 FP’s and another only 10, it is likely that the first product is more prone to FP’s than the other. It doesn't mean the product with 10 FP’s doesn't have more than 10 FP’s globally, but important is the relative number. All listed false alarms were reported and sent to the Anti-Virus vendors for verification and should now be already fixed. False alarms caused by unencrypted data blocks in Anti-Virus related files were not counted. If a product had several false alarms belonging to the same software, it is counted here as only one false alarm. Cracks, keygens, etc.
