Summary
We define the concept of information quality ‘InfoQ’ as the potential of a data set to achieve a specific (scientific or practical) goal by using a given empirical analysis method. InfoQ is different from data quality and analysis quality, but is dependent on these components and on the relationship between them. We survey statistical methods for increasing InfoQ at the study design and post-data-collection stages, and we consider them relatively to what we define as InfoQ.
We propose eight dimensions that help to assess InfoQ: data resolution, data structure, data integration, temporal relevance, generalizability, chronology of data and goal, construct operationalization and communication. We demonstrate the concept of InfoQ, its components (what it is) and assessment (how it is achieved) through three case-studies in on-line auctions research. We suggest that formalizing the concept of InfoQ can help to increase the value of statistical analysis, and data mining both methodologically and practically, thus contributing to a general theory of applied statistics.

How does the Royal Statistical Society Journal Club work?
Journal Club meetings are held every few months and last approximately 1 hour but may run longer as there is usually a Q&A session at the end.
Two papers will be selected from the Journals of the RSS and authors will be invited to present their papers (20 mins) followed by discussion (25 mins) for each paper.
Attendees will dial into a Teleconference Call. Papers and slides will be available to download 2 weeks in advance or you can log into the conference system using your web browser and follow the presentation live online.
These sessions are open to RSS members and non-RSS members. No need to pre-register.
Audio recordings will be available for download shortly after the session.
Further information
You may require Adobe Reader and/or PowerPoint viewer to access journal club papers and slides.
