Cassandra goals: • Exploit new "big" data tools to extract more value from official statistics • Develop a platform for now-casting of infra-annual indicators of policy relevance • Explore techniques to identify structural breaks in time series • Add value towards "Smart statistics"
The challenge VVVs of data Evidence based policy making
Now-casting = forecasting r periods after TS r=3 • Current solution • Machine learning • Limited "new" sources • r between 1 and 6 • Confidence interval depends on use Conf. interval r=1 t Time series
Cassandra: Now-casting Flexible, modular structure
Finding structural breaks = "forecasting" last TS value • Current solution • Only "simple" model • r is 1 • Confidence interval depends on how sensitive Conf. interval r=1 t Time series (to t-1)
Cassandra: flexibility in input, methods, output • New sources of data • Text mining
