Problem Identification & Question Formation

Formulating a question or identifying a problem that can be addressed with data affects the opportunities for interpretation and results from the data. The ability to make and justify strong claims relies on identifying questions that are testable and can be answered with data. Additionally, identifying the uncertainty or limitations within the problem space is an important component of formulating conclusions.

Concept D2.1

Verifiable questions & statements

Identify and create the type of questions that can be answered by data, and are eventually verifiable using a combination of modeling and experimentation.

Concept D2.2

Iteration, validation, & multiple explanations

Regularly practice identifying alternative explanations for a result from data, both for interim steps and post-analysis conclusions.

Concept D2.4

Relevant conclusions

Ensure that increasingly complex analysis steps remain useful for the original question, and that the method does not distract from the problem.
