The European Dactyloscopy Database (Eurodac) is the large-scale IT system used in the EU for managing asylum applications within the EU+2, as illustrated in Figure 1. The system allows fingerprint comparison and storage, and therefore supports the effective implementation of Regulation (EU) No...

In this, we argue that statistics is one of the fields of greatest significance for developing tools and techniques to find patterns in data and to give a greater understanding of them, as well as the most crucial for analyzing and calculating uncertainty. We provide a summary of several data...

Walter Andrew Shewhart is regarded as the founder of Statistical Quality Control (SQC), an approach to production inspection based on the application of statistical theory. He developed SQC in the 1920s while working at Bell Telephone Laboratories. During this period, he was tasked with training...

We consider the applicability of simple statistical models to Russia's short-term economic trends in a wartime context. We develop several composite indicators combining economic variables to predict Russian GDP trends both before and after the invasion if Ukraine in 2022. In addition, our SVAR...

With the use of technology-enhanced learning platforms and an abundance of available educational data, it is possible to analyze student learning behavior and solve problems, improve the learning environment, and make data-driven decisions. A virtual learning environment effectively provide...

Herein we attempt to quantify Tom McClellan’s notion of Dance Steps between two series of data, often of differing time periods (a current, or dependent and a previous, or independent period data series), looking for similarities in the turning points to use as a reference for the future...

In addition to increased uncertainty related to Russian statistics since the invasion of Ukraine, some observers have raised doubts about the quality of Russian statistics. Applying simple analytical tools to detecting irregularities in Russian economic data that could implicate data...

This research harmonizes Philippine Census of Population and Housing (CPH) data from 1970 to 2020 to address data consistency challenges across five decades. The study systematically reconciles evolving variable definitions, classification systems, and measurement scales to create a unified...

Researchers may want to know whether an observed statistical relationship is either meaningfully negative, meaningfully positive, or small enough to be considered practically equivalent to zero. Such a question can not be addressed with standard null hypothesis significance testing, nor with...

The present 2024 Annual Report emphasises the importance of professional independence and impartiality and objectivity for statistical bodies, highlighting the need for robust legal provisions to ensure that statistical authorities operate free from external influence and in an impartial and...

This executive summary sets out results derived from 2023 antimicrobial resistance (AMR) data, sourced from invasive isolates reported to both the Central Asian and European Surveillance of Antimicrobial Resistance (CAESAR) network and the European Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Network...

HIV infection continues to affect the health and well-being of nearly 2.6 million people in the WHO European Region, particularly in the eastern part of the Region. This report is the latest in a series published jointly by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) and the...

Access to high quality microdata is a precondition for the empirical investigation of many interrelationships in the economic and social sciences. Therefore, well-functioning research data infrastructure is a cornerstone of a successful science location. While other countries in Europe, such as...

This Fact Sheet forms part of a series of 27 Fact Sheets, each one providing data insights into the twin transition and the technological performance of industrial ecosystems of a specific EU Member State. It has been prepared within the 'European Monitor of Industrial Ecosystems' (EMI) project...

High quality European statistics and data are essential for the proper functioning of the European Union (EU). European statistics and data need to be reliable, objective, impartial and comparable between Member States. Trust in European statistics is essential given that many decisions, ranging...
