Data Visualisation

The rate at which data are being created is increasing; according to IBM’s calculations, “every day, we create 2.5 quintillion (2.5 billion billions, or 25 with 17 zeros) bytes of data — so much that 90% of the data in the world today has been created in the last two years alone”. Not only are new forms of computer processing being developed to handle this so called ‘big data’, but the way we are communicating data is also evolving. In order to digest and understand this volume of information, data visualisation has become increasingly popular.

What's R and Why Should You Use It?

The ability to analyse and interpret data is becoming an increasingly critical factor in driving commercial innovation and success. Maximising operational efficiency, understanding your customer base or monitoring quality control all requires data and the ability to analyse it. Businesses are collecting data on a scale previously unseen, but if you want to understand and use your data, how do you go about it?

Using Statistical Sampling for Monitoring Call Centre Quality

Companies who operate call centres such as telesales, market research or utility companies all monitor the calls that their staff make to ensure that they are complying with the relevant protocols. For example, telesales companies monitor calls in order to ensure that their staff are not mis-selling products, whilst utility companies monitor calls in order to ensure that their advisors are providing good customer service. Monitoring calls is therefore an important part of a quality control procedure, but it can be costly in terms of money, time and effort.

Developing Medical Decision Tools

The decision to extubate intensive care patients is critical to the long-term recovery of patients. Extubate too early and the patient may still have difficulties breathing and may need to be re-intubated which leads to delayed recovery and may even increase mortality. Delaying extubation exposes patients to many risks e.g. long term damage to the patient’s lungs and airways and infections.

A/B Split Testing and Identifying Target Segments for Marketing Strategies

Many businesses utilise online marketing strategies to bring more visitors to their websites, for example via e-mailshots, banner advertisements, social media channels and Search Engines Optimisation (SEO) techniques. However, increased traffic alone does not make a website successful. The design of the overall site as well as individual pages themselves also impacts performance, and can be optimised to help convert visitors into customers and sales.
