NEW APPROACHES TO SOFTWARE FOR STATISTICAL PROCESSING
A Joint Seminar of
The Royal Statistical Society Computing Section
The Association for Survey Computing
Wednesday 21st January 2004
The Royal Statistical Society, 12 Errol Street, London, EC1Y 8LX, UK
This seminar aims to explain and illustrate how advances in both data structures
and technology are starting to impact on statistical computing in its many
shapes and forms.
The day is divided into three modules. In the first introductory session we
examine how metadata structures have impacted upon statistical processing and
look at what can be achieved by adopting this technology. In the second, we’ll
be looking at how SPSS MR’s Dimensions Data Model has been adopted within the
commercial market research sector, and some of the challenges and benefits
presented by it. Finally, in the third section, we’ll be focussing in on
dissemination of data and results, and on some of the software tools now available.
