Question

what ways could the data collection be changed so that additional insight could be gained by testing with the different analytics types?

Answer 1

In order to make better data collection processes so that the data can be utilized in a number of different analytical models are:

ANNOTATIONS

Making small notes alongside the data allows us a better understanding of the data and therefore we can make better use of the data on our different analytical model.

IDENTIFYING THE OPPORTUNITIES

When we consider data collection process, we can say that collecting data from a large source would provide the best outlook but understanding the need for the data and thereby understanding the opportunities the current dataset brings to the table can create the necessary understanding we require when making use of the data in various models and forms.

REPRESENTATION AND RESPONSIVENESS

Data that are collected need to represent the needs of the process better and therefore, by utilizing better data collection practices, we can collect data that 8s more responsive to the changes and therefore better for different analytical models.

PLANNING AHEAD

While we cannot always plan how we would actually make use of the data in different forms, we can make an estimate of the various processes we might undertake that would make use of the data and therefore create an approach which best justifies the approach.
