*"A Principled Experimental Design Approach to Big Data Analysis"*


*Abstract: *

Big Datasets are endemic, but they are often notoriously difficult to
analyse because of their size, complexity, history and quality. The purpose
of this paper is to open a discourse on the use of modern experimental
design methods to analyse Big Data in order to answer particular questions
of interest. By appeal to a range of examples, it is suggested that this
perspective on Big Data modelling and analysis has wide generality and
advantageous inferential and computational properties. In particular, the
principled experimental design approach is shown to provide a flexible
framework for analysis that, for certain classes of objectives and utility
functions, delivers equivalent answers compared with analyses of the full
dataset. It can also provide a formalised method for iterative parameter
estimation, model checking, identification of data gaps and evaluation of
data quality. Finally it has the potential to add value to other Big Data
sampling algorithms, in particular divide-and-conquer strategies, by
determining efficient sub-samples.
