Kelly VessHOST
I closed the survey on Monday.
Kelly VessHOST
I have been waking up at 3 a.m. every morning doing SPSS analysis, and I found some really interesting relationships come out that definitely impact policy.
Kelly VessHOST
So I'm really, really excited about what I'm going to share with you today.
Kelly VessHOST
This is the messy data.
14 MINS LATER
Kelly VessHOST
Are those connected to whether or not they have a device? let's just dive in.
Kelly VessHOST
Now, this is me messy.
Kelly VessHOST
This is me like, okay, I've been up since three in the morning and I've been on SPSS and I've been looking at every single variable and I've been controlling it for experience and I've been controlling it for the number of users they had.
Kelly VessHOST
And I'm saying, okay, when we control for that, Does having that device make a difference? And it did.
Vijay SwamyGUEST
And then what is the soft skill associated with that? Articulation of data, storytelling, all that on the soft skill.
Vijay SwamyGUEST
And then you can use a SaaS-like product or an SPSS type of tool for doing that.
Vijay SwamyGUEST
We're trying to bring that network view of And that's another huge work we are doing.
Vijay SwamyGUEST
And we are very close to implementing that model.
Bo WandschneiderHOST
Interesting.
Bo WandschneiderHOST
I, you know, I sort of, I loved writing code too, right? Back in the day, I was, I was helping researchers and graduate students writing their statistical code, right? Using SAS, SPSS, TSP, all those types of things, Fortran.
Bo WandschneiderHOST
And I missed it.
Bo WandschneiderHOST
And I haven't done it for 20 or 25 years.
Xue ZhouGUEST
AI is accurate because there's a lot of formulas that we know and you put the data in, it will give you the right answers.
Xue ZhouGUEST
Regardless of using Excel, SPSS, or whatever software you're using, it's always the right answers.
Xue ZhouGUEST
AI can do a better job in terms of quantitative data analysis.
Xue ZhouGUEST
That's probably one of the reasons mathematics scientists really hate AI.
Monet LittleGUEST
It's more like just systems, if that makes sense, than spreadsheets.
Alison T. McNeilHOST
I think about in research and evaluation, there are some statistical software packages like SPSS and R and things that help you analyze qualitative data, like the narrative portion.
Alison T. McNeilHOST
And so I'm just amazed in real time about the overlap of all of the data that exists, but all of the work that's done with the data.
Alison T. McNeilHOST
And I'm just so glad you're here to talk about it because...
Fabio LauriaHOST
When dirty data is the bottleneck, Alteryx One builds repeatable preparation workflows, though advanced analytics requires professional or enterprise quotes.
Fabio LauriaHOST
IBM SPSS statistics gives analysts strict methodological control, provided you pay for forecasting add-ons.
Fabio LauriaHOST
Canine Analytics Platform offers a free open-source desktop connecting to over 300 data sources, but shared scheduling and automation still cost money.
Fabio LauriaHOST
For dedicated technical teams, Dataku, H2O AI Cloud, and DataRobot handle model deployment, explainability, and production drift monitoring.
Aswath DamodaranHOST
There is something I can do about the negative intercept.
Aswath DamodaranHOST
If any of you used a statistics package like Minitab or SPSS or SAS, when you run a regression, there's actually an option that allows you to set the intercept to zero.
Aswath DamodaranHOST
It's usually not a good idea to do it because it forces your regression through the origin of it.
Aswath DamodaranHOST
But if you do that, here's what you get for the PE ratio.
John RenneGUEST
And I kind of had this realization that my data science skills and my statistical skills were really out of date.
John RenneGUEST
I was using SPSS mainly, and I was also learning other programs like a program called HLM 7.0 and a little bit with a few other kind of major,
Jon KrohnHOST
major statistical packages.
John RenneGUEST
I didn't know how to code at all.
John RenneGUEST
I have been analyzing for many, many decades, large data sets.
John RenneGUEST
And I love big data increasingly, you know, trying to get as much data as possible.
John RenneGUEST
I was mainly using Excel, SPSS, and hitting limitations, like what I could do with that data.
John RenneGUEST
So like, I've listened to so many of your episodes and bought so many of the books that your guests have recommended.
Aswath DamodaranHOST
So you need to use some kind.
Aswath DamodaranHOST
I use SPSS, which you can get at the bookstore.
Aswath DamodaranHOST
But if you don't want to spend the money, Minitab is probably available downstairs.
Aswath DamodaranHOST
you need to start thinking about multiple regressions again in a way differently from your statistics class.
Rob TulloGUEST
So I worked with my client, the lawyer, and we decided what variables we know that we wanted to keep based on the kinds of slices that he would want to do.
Rob TulloGUEST
The data was all in SPSS or SAS.
Rob TulloGUEST
Those are two choices.
Rob TulloGUEST
I didn't know either, so I had a little bit of a learning curve in order to get it in, move it around, do some transformations within the data analysis tool first, dropped a ton of variables.
Rob TulloGUEST
And then I had to figure out how to deal with it in R.
Rob TulloGUEST
So I found the Haven package, which is what I use to do a lot of my transformations.
Rob TulloGUEST
Most of the transformations that I did in SPSS or SAS were literally just dropping variables or maybe doing a couple of combinations.
Rob TulloGUEST
Everything else where I was doing some mapping, the codebook has changed over time.
