Matthew S. Weber presented research at the 130th Annual Meeting of Big Data, Big Theory & The Thread of Recent History. The presentation discussed analyzing large-scale datasets to study how complete they are over time. It found datasets on political events and natural disasters became less complete as more webpages and URLs were added over multiple crawls. However, the rate of incompleteness followed exponential functions and could be corrected for using established factors for each dataset. While reliability challenges are not unique, understanding degradation rates can help researchers account for gaps in large internet-sourced datasets.
