[Sampling] Big data and sampling in Ottawa

Tomorrow (November 7th), I’ll give a talk at the Statistics Canada Symposium on survey sampling and big data.

I’ll show how techniques that were developed at official statistics institutes can now be used in the context of big data and machine learning, and add a lot of value. I’ll show some examples with:

  • A/B testing
  • Tracking design
  • Calibration in Machine Learning
  • Network analysis
  • User feedback

 

And really glad to be returning to Ottawa, even though the trip will be short!
