This study compares Russian state information systems of industry with UN international recommendations. The harmonization of the Russian information system with successful international practices is necessary for measuring the main industrial indicator levels and dynamics in comparison with the...

Statistics data are the result of a complex scientific research process. Based on rigorous procedures, statistical research offers a bigger quantity of data from various domains, to specialists and wide public. This considerable quantity of statistics data illustrate on the one hand an extension...

The singular value decomposition and its interpretation as a linear biplot has proved to be a powerful tool for analysing many forms of multivariate data. Here we adapt biplot methodology to the specific case of compositional data consisting of positive vectors each of which is constrained to...

Computational Statistics is an international journal that fosters the publication of applications and methodological research in the field of computational statistics. In this article, we will discuss the motivation, history, some specialties, and the future scope of this journal

In the microsimulation literature, it is still uncommon to test the statistical significance of results. In this paper we argue that this situation is both undesirable and unnecessary. Provided the parameters used in the microsimulation are exogenous, as is often the case in static...

Many multivariate methods that are apparently distinct can be linked by introducing one or more parameters in their definition. Methods that can be linked in this way are correspondence analysis, unweighted or weighted logratio analysis (the latter also known as quot;spectral mappingquot;),...

While linking records across large administrative datasets ["big data"] has the potential to revolutionize empirical social science research, many administrative data files do not have common identifiers and are thus not designed to be linked to others. To address this problem, researchers have...

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...

Protection and privacy of data generated/gathered by Government agencies is an important issue in increasingly integrated world encompassing faster technology of access and dissemination. This paper will try to understand data dissemination policies of Governmental agencies in the western world...
