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...

Ratios are an instrumental component of the communication of probabilities such as COVID incidence rates, side effects of medical drugs, or political decision‐making; hence, they are a critical component of an individual's statistical decision‐making. Research on the ratio bias has shown...

This paper studies linear time‐series regressions with many regressors. Weak exogeneity is the most used identifying assumption in time series. Weak exogeneity requires the structural error to have zero conditional expectation given present and past regressor values, allowing errors to...

This document summarizes the global process of designing geotechnical structures, as given in the 2nd Generation EN 1997, and highlights the step where the designer must determine representative values for limit state verifications based on ground investigation data. This guideline explains the...

The She Figures 2024 Policy Report complements the She Figures 2024 main study by providing an in-depth analysis of key issues relating to gender equality in research and innovation (R&I). While the main study presents comprehensive gender statistics in R&I, the Policy Report expands on these...

The She Figures Handbook (2024) provides methodological guidance on the calculation of indicators included in the She Figures 2024 publication. It is intended to strengthen the capacity of stakeholders to systematically produce meaningful, systematic data on gender in research and innovation....

Key figures on the EU in the world provides a statistical portrait of the European Union in relation to other parts of the world. It's structured into 3 chapters: people and society, the economy and trade, and the environment and natural resources. This publication complements 2 of Eurostat's...

The Statistical Requirements Compendium (SRC), published by Eurostat, serves as a reference document for the EU acquis in statistics. It summarises the key reference information for European statistical production, taking into account new legislation and other developments relevant for European...

This paper explores the current use of crypto-assets for payments, focusing mostly on unbacked crypto-assets, while selectively referring to stablecoins. Although some specific characteristics of crypto-assets, such as their price volatility and unclear legal settlement, render them unsuitable...

Consumption taxes are a crucial revenue source for EU Member States, yet they also potentially have non-negligible impact on income distribution. The EU's tax-benefit microsimulation model, EUROMOD, has recently been extended to simulate consumption taxes (CT) across all 27 EU countries allowing...

How efficiently do scientific results make their way into the wider world? Applying multiple methods to the universe of hypothesis tests reported in three leading health journals between 2016 and 2022 we evidence the important role of statistical significance as a driver of popular attention to...

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...
