Celebrating #WorldStatisticsDay with CNSTAT's work on quality data

Messy data with outliers or skewed values can make standard analysis misleading or slow. Optimization-based approaches let us build statistical models that capture the full range of outcomes, not just averages, turning complex problems into actionable insights. At INFORMS, our teammate Cezareo Rodriguez be presenting “Penalized Quantile Regression from an Optimization Perspective.” He will show how linear and mixed-integer programming, parallel computation, and primal-dual strategies can create robust models that scale to real-world datasets. These kinds of models are used everywhere from finance to estimate extreme losses, in healthcare to predict high-cost patient outcomes, and in supply chains to plan for worst-case demand scenarios.

10/10/25 Here’s Your Daily Disinformation Detox Reminder: Today, learn about basic statistical concepts, such as mean, median, mode, & standard deviation. Learn how statistics are used to analyze data & draw conclusions. Beware of stats that are presented without context or that are used to mislead.

Autocorrelation fctor ( ACF) is a well establihed statistical method which compares time series data of undelying vs its lag data. It provides excellent tool to analyze market phase. A positive ACF indicate trending day ahead while negative ACF suggests choppy days. Mean reversion strategies are best suited for choppy market.

Behind every market movement lay precise statistical analysis that reads the pulse of the market. Data isn’t just random numbers — it’s the true language of the markets. #OW

AI x Microbiome: Where Data Begins to Heal The convergence of AI and microbiome science is fast becoming one of the most exciting frontiers in healthcare, and ENBIOSIS Biotechnology is a company worth watching. Their proprietary 𝘥𝘪𝘨𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘵𝘸𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘩𝘯𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘺 is being used to design disease-specific nutraceuticals that go beyond symptom management, targeting the root mechanisms of disease through the gut. Halfway through their clinical study on 𝗱𝗿𝘆 𝗲𝘆𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲, early results are already showing remarkable trends, overall improvement climbing toward 100 %, full recovery rates rising, and “no-change” outcomes in decline. That matters because dry eye isn’t a condition traditionally linked to gut health. If modulating the microbiome can influence recovery here, it hints at a far wider horizon - neurological, autoimmune, skin, even metabolic disorders. It’s early days, but the implications are profound. What if AI could translate our microbial language into medicine?

Testing a hypothesis—which is necessary if you are to argue “the data tell us we should”—required statistics… pie graphs or bar graphs just won’t do.

Today BEA began its annual update of national and industry data for 2020 through the first quarter of 2025. Updates to state statistics begin tomorrow. https://lnkd.in/exK3FQBM

On another platform, Jed Kolko asked, “So how is everyone feeling about private sector data subbing in for official statistics?” And my answer is: It’s much better to have the private sector data than not, but there’s a big knowledge gap that’s getting bigger and going mostly unfilled.
