Mind the skills gap: creating capacity for data access | Richard Welpton
No full textThis presentation summarises the work that Carlotta Greci, Richard Welpton, and Christine Woods have been doing towards deeloping a final and professional development framework for people accessing data in safe settings
Estimating systematic response errors using the multitrait-multierror model | Dr Alexandru Cernat
No full textThis video present a new paper which proposes a new method to estimate and control for multiple types of errors concurrently, which we call the “multitrait-multierror” (MTME) approach. MTME combines the theory of experimental design with latent variable modeling to efficiently estimate response errors of different types simultaneously and evaluate which are most impactful on a given question
What is data quality?
No full textThis video discusses the requirements needed for survey data to be considered good quality, and how to acheive this in social science research

Introduction to Spacial Interaction Modelling
No full textThis online resource introduces spatial interaction modelling / spatial interaction models (SIMs), statistical models used to predict origin-destination flows.
They are applied within geography, planning, transportation and the social sciences to predict interactions or flows such as those related to commuting or migration. They are also widely used across the commercial sector, for example to model flows of consumers between home and retail centres, with broad applications in commercial decision making and policy evaluation.
This video and accompanying resources introduces the theoretical components of a SIM, outlines the family of spatial interaction models (for different types of application areas) and illustrates some of their common uses.
