The point, says Bell, is to ask "what sense-making activity are you putting on that data?" That's the question that technologies – whether they're wearable, or whether they're measuring something or telling the world something about ourselves – are starting to grapple with.
For those who are concerned with the potential repercussions of climate change, there might be a kind of catharsis to be found in the human face that Weather Center for the Apocalypse puts on the data used in climate science by engaging with others about their emotional response to it.
Special emphasis is put on the clinical data available supporting the finding of PCR-positive but culture-negative results.
Scheid wants to put on the web data-entry tools that let customers do much of the busywork themselves and then go to an adviser for the judgment calls.
The three key properties of this approach are (i) the ability to process very large datasets, (ii) the ability to identify multiple distinct motifs within one dataset and (iii) versatility, as no limits are put on the origin of the data, and no prior data knowledge is required.
The emphasis is put on the ability of data mining methods to solve multivariate multiresponse problems on the basis of experimental data and minimal statistical assumptions only, in contrast to classical methods, which require predefined priors to be tested against some null-hypothesis.
When the stratum-specific sample sizes are small, the hierarchical Bayesian method is especially helpful because information for all centers is averaged with information for a particular center, and weight put on the center specific data proportional to the sample size in the center.
To that end, we must put on the public Internet the data about the accidents so it can be analyzed, reproduced, tested and constantly improved.
Particular emphasis is being put on the use of routine data (e.g. data from patients' health records) in order to minimize workload for the participating hospitals and to reduce the burden which additional diagnostic procedures and clinical evaluations might impose upon the patients and their carers.
A single problem like this one could expose all the data you put on the platform, and potentially everything your friends make visible to you as well.
