Session 2: Data-Driven Policy, 10:30am-11:15am
While communities are collecting more data than ever before to measure effects of public policy, such data sets tend to be quite small. With the absence of a control group, the assessment of existing policies and the design of new ones utilizing such data bring new challenges to statistics and data science. This panel will explore such challenges and will highlight how data analysis has been quite effective in some applications.
