Filtered Weighting By Seyf Altindal Askiaanalysis 12th April 2023 ShareFacebookLinkedInTwitter ‘Filtered Weighting’ is an exciting new feature recently added to AskiaAnalyse. It removes the need for manual intervention when implementing certain weighting requirements. Probably the best way to explain the feature is to show you a working example, so I’ve put together a five-minute video demonstration of the new feature which can be viewed below. In the example, the requirement is to equally weight all but one of the responses of a question. The remaining response is to be left unweighted i.e. its observed percentage does not change…
Titanic Analysis! By Seyf Altindal Askiaanalysis 6th August 2020 ShareFacebookLinkedInTwitter The word titanic means ‘of exceptional strength, size, or power’ and we’d like you to keep this in mind when reading this latest blog showcasing AskiaAnalyse’s ability to link with R or Python, producing amazing analyses we could never run before in the Askia world! Background The dataset we will explore contains information about a sample of 889 passengers aboard the ill-fated Titanic, which was a British passenger liner operated by the White Star Line that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in the early morning hours of…
The numbers just don’t add up… By Richard Collins Askiaanalysis, Knowledge base 17th July 2020 ShareFacebookLinkedInTwitter The debrief is going well, the change in direction the end client needs to take is understood, the meeting is coming to a conclusion. Then the quiet one in the room asks you to go back to slide 26 – it’s the slide with one of the key tabulations with the important figures highlighted in green. The bomb is dropped, “The numbers don’t add up”. The numbers in the cells don’t add up. Everyone counts them. She is right. The researchers look at each other. They count again.…

Analyse 5.5.2 – Jewels in the Crown (pt 2) By Seyf Altindal Askiaanalysis 2nd December 2019 ShareFacebookLinkedInTwitter This is part 2 of a series of articles on automating tasks in Analyse. According to the new Askia tagline, you can now automate insights. The claim is bold and possibly premature. But for years now, we have been thinking of ways we could decrease the lapse between questionnaire design and the analysis. Of course producing insights is hard on a new topic but it shouldn’t be that difficult on a more targeted environment. If your survey is generic enough (say an ad test or package testing), you…
Analyse 5.5.2 – Jewels in the Crown (pt 1) By Seyf Altindal Askiaanalysis 19th June 2019 ShareFacebookLinkedInTwitter As technology has evolved, data science techniques have become more mainstream and this, in turn, has contributed to the increased value of data in industries like yours and mine. Some say it’s the new oil! Whilst pitching their oil rigs in a sea of numbers, companies need to seek out the modern-day alchemists who can turn the regular data we all know into this black gold enthusiastically allegorised by economists and business leaders alike. Well, you don’t need to be Paulo Coelho to know which field you will…
Pragmatic machine learning – from Analyse to iOS By Iman Zarrabian Askiaanalysis 25th April 2019 ShareFacebookLinkedInTwitter I joined Askia in January as a techie and some might say that writing a data science post when surrounded by a bunch of confirmed data science nerds is stupid. I would say it’s suicidal. So to make everyone comfortable I’d like to add that this is not a data science article but a pragmatic approach of how anyone could use data from our analyse software to create some pretty cool predictive models. I am going to walk through a very basic example of how we used data…
Pirates’ favourite language? ARRRRR! By Jérôme Sopoçko Askiaanalysis 23rd April 2019 ShareFacebookLinkedInTwitter The first time I heard about modelling and advanced statistics was when I read Isaac Asimov’s Foundation. The second time – a good 10 years later – was when I was taught about Factor Analysis by Herve de Milleville at university, and then later met Jean-Paul Benzecri, Ludovic Lebart and André Salem. My thought then was that Hari Seldon’s dream had come true. Unfortunately years of practice have put a damper on my hopes – post rationalisation made me blame Chaos Theory and as the famous adage goes:…
