22 Non Statistical
Questions for a
Statistician
1.Which business outcome are we
attempting to model and predict?
• Mean time between failure of asset – MTBF ?
• Next best action- NBA ?
2.What surgical actions can we drive
once we are able to predict the outcome?
• Preventive replacement of asset
• Stock up on spares
3.What is the quantifiable impact of
these actions?
• Down time reduced by 6 %
• MTBF increased by 12 days
• Reduced HSE incidents by 18 %
4.What is the economic impact of a
correct prediction?
• Cost of following operational metrics translated in $
• Down time reduced by 6 % means $ _____________
• MTBF increased by 12 days means $ ______________
• Reduced HSE incidents by 18 % means $ ______________
5.What is the economic impact of a wrong
prediction (false positives)?
• $ spent into replacing a healthy asset
6.What is the non-economic impact of
a wrong prediction ?
• Decreased customer satisfaction Index
7. Is not predicting outcome a bearable
business option?
• In some rare scenarios status quo is still an option
8. Is the business phenomena we are trying to
predict modellable using the data we have?
• Ambient temperature may not be instrumented to model downtime
9. Is there enough breadth available in data
to explain the predicted behaviour?
• Certain asset attributes like tenure may not be available
10. Is there enough depth available in the
data we are using?
• 2 years ?
• 3 years ?
• 4 years ?
11.Are there causal blind spots in data?
• Ambient causal context?
• Human causal context ?
• Machine causal context?
12. Is the past representative of the future?
• A new design may invalidate historical data of an asset
13.Are we modelling black swan events?
• Black swan events are rare difficult to predict event
14. Do rhythms and patterns exist in
historical data which is correlated to outcome?
• Are their frequent sequences of event prior to asset breaking down ?
15.Was the modelling an armchair exercise
or did the modeller soak in the biz process?
• Modellers who are intimate contact with field can model assets behaviour better
16.Are we focussing only on signals which
reinforce our world view?
• Typically people have Cognitive bias
17.Which real world behaviours are
encoded in vectors?
• Volatility dimension ?
• Velocity dimension ?
• Dispersions ?
• Ranks ?
18. Does the statistical model articulate a
range of possible business outcomes?
• Best case scenario MTBF = 768 days
• Worst case MTBF = 628 days
19. Does the statistical model articulate the
realistic outcome?
• Realistic MTBF = 680 days
20.Are their weak signals if triangulated
which could become a strong signal?
• Combining vibrations +
• Experience of maintenance engineer +
• Asset age
21.Are we mistaking correlation for
causality?
• Vibration frequency is co-relation
• Whereas maintenance engineer could be causal
22. Have we polled multiple models to see
if 2 models reinforce the same outcome ?
• Combinatorial Ensembles
