I recently saw an informal online survey that asked users which types of data (tabular, text, images, or “other”) are being used in their organization’s analytics applications. This was not a scientific or statistically robust survey, so the results are not necessarily reliable, but they are interesting and provocative.

Let’s consider the differences between the two, and why they’re both important to the success of data-driven organizations. Digging into quantitative data. This is quantitative data. It’s “hard,” structured data that answers questions such as “how many?” What are the problems with quantitative data? or “how often?”

LLMs like ChatGPT are trained on massive amounts of text data, allowing them to recognize patterns and statistical relationships within language. Nearly all respondents reported promising early results from gen AI experiments and planned to increase their spending in 2024 to support production workloads.

Of course it can be argued that you can use statistics (and Google Trends in particular) to prove anything [1] , but I found the above figures striking. Here we come back to the upward trend in searches for Data Science. King was a wise King, but now he was gripped with uncertainty. Source: Google Trends.

He was saying this doesn’t belong just in statistics. He also really informed a lot of the early thinking about data visualization. It involved a lot of interesting work on something new that was data management. To some extent, academia still struggles a lot with how to stick data science into some sort of discipline.

We are far too enamored with data collection and reporting the standard metrics we love because others love them because someone else said they were nice so many years ago. Remember that the raw number is not the only important part, we would also measure statistical significance. Online, offline or nonline. The result?

For example, imagine a fantasy football site is considering displaying advanced player statistics. A ramp-up strategy may mitigate the risk of upsetting the site’s loyal users who perhaps have strong preferences for the current statistics that are shown. One reason to do ramp-up is to mitigate the risk of never before seen arms.
