I am surprised that the scientific community hasn [t introduced rigorous recording and change control techniques, particularly in the data age
where huge amounts of data and code can be used on even a minor project.
These are places
where huge amounts of data is gathered from patients at great expense.
Not exact matches
When you're traveling out
of the country, you're typically limited in the
amount of data you can use before having to shell out
huge roaming fees, and even those «unlimited» plans have
data limits
where you'll end up having your
data speed throttled if you exceed them.
So technology has advanced to the point
where it's now possible not only to analyze the
huge amounts of data that are being generated in new ways, but to also go back and look at the large
of amount of data that has been generated in the past and look at it through a different lens.
For example, Kaplan (
where I am chief learning officer) possesses a
huge amount of data — billions
of records — from people taking practice tests over many years as they prepare for exams like the MCAT.
Along those lines, has the following been tried (again, forgive if I'm asking something with an obvious answer published somewhere): 1) pick starting projection dates and subsequent run paths 2) example for (1): start 1980, run forward 5 years; start 1982, run forward 5 years; start 1984 (run to 1989) etc etc 3) at each start we proceed as with the 1979 directive; ie calibrate with several months
of starting year
data 4) thus the latest such (example) run
where we could compare against actual
data would be an initialization in 2008 and run forward for 5 years to 2013 5) the advantage
of the above (and I recognize that there is a
huge amount of work involved in crunching these simulations) is that we could see the starting temp and 5 year projections against the historical record for a number
of overlapping segments.
Corporations such as Google and Facebook use our
data to make
huge amounts of money, but IoHO imagines a world
where we, the «
data workers,» have the ability to earn some cash.
