This document summarizes a presentation on key challenges for smart statistics in an era of big data and the Internet of Things. It discusses how analytics are moving from centralized systems to distributed "edge" systems closer to data sources. This shift, along with principles of transparency and quality, will be important for statistics to maintain relevance and trustworthiness in a changing data landscape.

A Statistician's 'Big Tent' View on Big Data and Data Science (Version 6)Prof. Dr. Diego Kuonen
Presentation given by Dr. Diego Kuonen, CStat PStat CSci, on April 23, 2015, at the 'ZüKoSt: Seminar on Applied Statistics' of the ETH Zurich in Zurich, Switzerland.
ABSTRACT
There is no question that big data have hit the business, government and scientific sectors. The demand for skills in data science is unprecedented in sectors where value, competitiveness and efficiency are driven by data. However, there is plenty of misleading hype around the terms 'big data' and 'data science'. This presentation gives a professional statistician's 'big tent' view on these terms, illustrates the connection between data science and statistics, and highlights some challenges and opportunities from a statistical perspective.

ABSTRACT
There is no question that big data have hit the business, government and scientific sectors, as well as pharmaceutical development. The demand for skills in data science is unprecedented in sectors where value, competitiveness and efficiency are driven by data. However, there is plenty of misleading hype around the terms 'big data' and 'data science'. This presentation gives a professional Swiss statistician's 'big tent' overview of these terms in pharmaceutical development, illustrates the connection between data science and statistics - the terms surrounding the 'sexiest job of the 21st century' - and highlights some challenges and opportunities from a statistical perspective.

ABSTRACT
---------------
The digital revolution is truly underway: terms such as big data, cloud, internet of things, internet of everything, the fourth industrial revolution, smart cities and data economy are no longer just concepts - they are changing our lives in new and exciting ways.
Digital Transformation started with a first wave of digitalisation, which resulted in the (big) data revolution. But now a second wave of digitalisation is needed to enable learning from (big) data and to generate increased value for both business and society as a whole.
This presentation discusses how analytics, the science of "learning from data" or of "making sense out of data", becomes the engine of a new wave of Digital Transformation, and illustrates that the biggest challenge therein is the veracity of the "data pedigree", i.e. the trustworthiness of the data, including the reliability, capability, validity, and related quality of the data.
This presentation looks at demystifying concepts and terms surrounding Digital Transformation and big data. Along with machine intelligence and learning, the connection between data science and statistics is illustrated, and trends, challenges, opportunities, and the related digital skills and principles needed to succeed at Digital Transformation are highlighted.

The demand for skills in data science is unprecedented in sectors where value, competitiveness and efficiency are driven by data. However, there is plenty of misleading hype around the terms big data and data science. This presentation gives a professional statistician's view on these terms and illustrates the connection between data science and statistics.

Data as the Fuel and Analytics as the Engine of the Digital Transformation: D...Prof. Dr. Diego Kuonen
Keynote speech given by Prof. Dr. Diego Kuonen, CStat PStat CSci, on June 7, 2018 at the "5th Swiss Conference on Data Science (SDS|2018)" in Berne, Switzerland; see https://sds2018.ch/.
Big Data must be processed with advanced collection and analysis tools, based on predetermined algorithms, in order to obtain relevant information. Algorithms must also take into account invisible aspects for direct perceptions. Big Data issues is multi-layered. A distributed parallel architecture distributes data on multiple servers (parallel execution environments) thus dramatically improving data processing speeds. Big Data provides an infrastructure that allows for highlighting uncertainties, performance, and availability of components.

An Investigation on Scalable and Efficient Privacy Preserving Challenges for ...IJERDJOURNAL
ABSTRACT:- Big data is a relative term describing a situation where the volume, velocity and variety of data exceed an organization’s storage or compute capacity for accurate and timely decision making. Big data refers to huge amount of digital information collected from multiple and different sources. With the development of application of Internet/Mobile Internet, social networks, Internet of Things, big data has become the hot topic of research across the world, at the same time; big data faces security risks and privacy protection during collecting, storing, analyzing and utilizing. Since a key point of big data is to access data from multiple and different domains security and privacy will play an important role in big data research and technology. Traditional security mechanisms, which are used to secure small scale static data, are inadequate. So the question is which security and privacy technology is adequate for efficient access to big data. This paper introduces the functions of big data, and the security threat faced by big data, then proposes the technology to solve the security threat, finally, discusses the applications of big data in information security. Main expectation from the focused challenges is that it will bring a novel focus on the big data infrastructure.

7. 1. Demystifying the ‘big data’ hype
• ‘Big data’ have hit the business, government and scientific sectors.
The term ‘big data’ — coined in 1997 by two researchers at the NASA — has
acquired the trappings of a ‘religion’.
• But, what exactly are ‘big data’?
The term ‘big data’ applies to an accumulation of data that can not be
processed or handled using traditional data management processes or tools.
Big data are a data management IT infrastructure which should ensure that the
underlying hardware, software and architecture have the ability to enable ‘learning
from data’, i.e. ‘analytics’ ( ‘data-driven decision making’ and ‘data-informed
policy making’).

8. • The following characteristics — ‘the four Vs’ — provide a definition:
– ‘Volume’ : ‘data at rest’, i.e. the amount of data ( ‘data explosion problem’),
with respect to the number of observations ( ‘size’ of the data), but also with
respect to the number of variables ( ‘dimensionality’ of the data);
– ‘Variety’ : ‘data in many forms’, ‘mixed data’ or ‘broad data’, i.e. different
types of data (e.g. structured, semi-structured and unstructured, e.g. log files,
text, web or multimedia data such as images, videos, audio), data sources (e.g.
internal, external, open, public), data resolutions (e.g. measurement scales and
aggregation levels) and data granularities;
– ‘Velocity’ : ‘data in motion’ or ‘fast data’, i.e. the speed by which data are
generated and need to be handled (e.g. streaming data from devices, machines,
sensors, drones and social data);
Copyright c 2001–2017, Statoo Consulting, Switzerland. All rights reserved.
8
9. – ‘Veracity’ : ‘data in doubt’ or ‘trust in data’, i.e. the varying levels of noise and
processing errors, including the reliability (‘quality over time’), capability and
validity of the data.
• ‘Volume’ is often the least important issue: it is definitely not a requirement to
have a minimum of a petabyte of data, say.
Bigger challenges are ‘variety’ (e.g. combining different data sources such as
internal data with social networking data and public data) and ‘velocity’, but most
important is ‘veracity’ and the related quality of the data .
Indeed, big data come with the data quality and data governance challenges of
‘small’ data along with new challenges of its own!
Existing ‘small’ data quality frameworks need to be extended, i.e. augmented!

taken as a basis for doing something. If nothing is to
be done with the data, then there is no use in
collecting any. The ultimate purpose of taking data
is to provide a basis for action or a recommendation
for action.’

20. 3. ‘Analytics of things’ and ‘smart (official) statistics 4.0’?
• The ‘Analytics of Things’ (AoT) corresponds to the ‘analytics layer’ that occurs
with the IoT devices and their generated data.
It becomes key to execute analytics and related data quality processes on the
data-gathering devices themselves, i.e. at the edge (or at the ‘endpoint’), or as close
to the originating data source as possible.
‘Analytics at the edge’ or ‘edge analytics’ (based on a distributed ‘IT architecture
layer’ called ‘edge computing’).
For example, in practice, the most efficient way to control data quality is to do it
at the point where the data are created, as cleaning up data downstream (and hence
centralised) is expensive and not scalable.

22. It is about moving the analytics and the data quality frameworks to the data and
not the data to the (centralised) analytics and (centralised) data quality frameworks.
To do so, a centralised management of analytics will be needed; consisting, for
example, of transparent central analytics model and rule development and
maintenance, a common repository for all analytics models, i.e. ‘algorithms’, and a
related analytics model version management.
Additional concerns are security (e.g. will be improved by reducing complexity),
privacy (e.g. sensitive data will be retained at the edge), analytics governance (e.g. no
strong governance needed as the algorithms are decentralised and publicly available),
reliability and scalability of the edge devices, and (public) trust.

raw material for accountability. Without high-quality
data providing the right information on the right
things at the right time; designing, monitoring and
evaluating effective policies becomes almost
impossible.’

25. 4. Challenges and key issues for (official) statistics
• In a world of (big) data, IoT, AoT and also post-truth politics, the veracity of data
(and the related quality and correctness of the data) is more important than ever!
• A ‘paradigm shift’ in official statistics, along with related considerations of
transparency and glocalisation, i.e. producing official statistics according to both
local and global considerations, is needed!
• The key elements for a successful analytics future are statistical principles and rigour
of humans!
• Analytics and ‘smart statistics’ are aids to thinking and not replacements for it!
• Data are key for policy making and for accountability ( ‘data-informed policy
making’) and should be envisaged to complement and augment (official) statistics,
not replacements for it!
