Aim of DataClean 2002

This conference will be devoted to techniques for dealing with erroneous and missing data in large scale statistical data processing. Such data represent a fundamental problem for the data systems of official statistical agencies as well as private enterprises. In particular, the conference will focus on the identification and correction of errors and outliers in data and on imputation for missing data values. Although this topic is not a new one, the focus will be on recent developments in the application of computer intensive methods to these problems, particularly those based on the application of neural net and related methods, and their comparison with more established methods.

Topics

• Use of neural networks and related computer intensive classication methods for data editing and imputation for data editing and imputation.
• Modern robust techniques for outlier detection and correction.
• Error localization with erronous observations.
• Tree-based classifiers for data editing and imputation.
• Bayesian methods for error detection and imputation.
• Multiple imputation.
• Graphical tools for data validation and checking.
• Classical data editing and imputation methods.
