  • Notes

    • Key note by Ian Diamond ESRC
      • Cost of obesity in the UK ~£6Billion per year
      • "Methodology" is a word commonly used in place of "methods". I think this assists methodological research.
      • ESRC are keen to fund risky exciting research proposals.
      • UK Longitudinal Household Survey
        • Sampling and Data Collection Strategies for the Proposed UK Longitudinal Household Survey
      • ESRC committed to Virtual Safe Laboratories
        • I think I've had this idea before (perhaps at a NIEeS GridGIS meeting): Why not digitise and retain name and address information from the 2011 Census so it can be linked for epidemiology research. A scoping study and the development of a service...
      • Questions and feedback session
        • ESRC MRC DoH Welsh Office etc Public Health and obesity focus
        • Administrative data vaguaries - Nobles group at Oxford?
        • I was thinking about ESRC and ONS meta data standards adoption: Is ESRC encouraging the use of dublin core?
    • How to represent uncertainty...
    • Data mining
      • Correspondence - term used when variables are the same, but are recorded differently (e.g. age in CAS tables)
    • There are privacy concerns with releasing 'synthetic data' containing 'synthetic individuals' "too similar" to "real individuals".
      • In MoSeS we can absolve responsibility for this by disseminating ID lists.
    • Chat with Graham Squires over lunch
      • Urban Regeneration or Managing the Decline of Industrially Restructuring Cities: Low Demand Neighbourhoods and Housing Market Renewal
    • Spatial Microsimulation
      • Dimitris Ballas
      • Wilson and Pownal?
      • With population data created in MoSeS we can generate multiway tables tables of census variables that are not available as CAS tables in the usual offering.
      • Should look at SimBritain and MicroMappas and collaborate with Dimitris
    • Using Multiple imputation to integrate and disseminate microdata...
    • Chat with Peter Halfpenny
      • I should talk to Keith Cole about work with R stats package use of Grid Enabled Census Data
      • Peter keen for MoSeS to collaborate with Dimitris
    • Multi-level modelling - Getting the most from census data
      • Good stuff :)
      • Nick Best pointed out the relevance of Brown and Harvey's work
      • Simon Peters suggested a search for spatial autocorrelation aspects of covariation (e.g. at OA level). This is a good idea :)
      • This made me think that in MoSeS population initialisation we could optimise based on minimising variance and covariance...
    • Bias: methods for combining data
      • NCRM link
    • The General Household Survey (GHS)
    • Lisa Buckner
    • Jerry Reiter
    • ReDRESS Learning Space Catalogue
    • I'm having Deja Vu about having Deja Vu
      • I think I may have even noted that I was having Deja Vu last time, so I will search my blog and try to find out when this was... Hmmm no success...Anyway, Deja Vu is wierd.
