How to deal with and more readily understand complex data is explored in this month’s newsletter.  The front page article looks at Principal Component Analysis (PCA), providing some background information and how and where it might be used to analyse complex data sets.  The idea is to reduce large numbers of variables into a small number of meaningful dimensions.  The case study continues the theme with an example of how we used PCA in a segmentation analysis to identify types of family groups and individuals based on their financial behaviour.  A complex data set from a 140 page questionnaire with nearly 800 variables was supplied.  The case study outlines the techniques used to create a robust solution for the client including factor analysis and cluster analysis.  This month we introduce one of our new staff members, Alethea Rea from New Zealand.

There is so much data collected and stored today, but is this data good data?  Can you be sure that the data you have is the right amount from the right sources to give you the accuracy required to deliver meaningful results?  In this newsletter, Dr John Henstridge explores the idea that planning the data is the first step in any analysis and discusses how statisticians are equipped with the knowledge and tools required to provide assurance in the investment of the data collected.  One of these methodologies is ‘Experimental Design’ which aims to ensure that a data design is appropriately balanced to maximise the efficiency of any analysis.  Dr Kathy Haskard, who recently joined Data Analysis Australia as an experienced Senior Consultant Statistician outlines the process and many benefits of using an ‘Experimental Design’ in the Analytical Ideas Article.  She cleverly uses the AFL football draw as a way of explaining how and why it is used.  Kathy is profiled in this month’s newsletter having had a wide and varied career as a statistician.

Profile: Sachin Tendulkar
By popular vote, the greatest batsman in the world today, Sachin Tendulkar has the cricketing world at his feet. The adulation he commands world over is unsurpassed, perhaps since the days of Don Bradman, to whom of course he has been compared, by no less than the great man himself. While he may not end with a Test career average of 99.94, there is little doubt that based on his vigorous style of batsmanship and his insatiable appetite for runs and big scores, he is the most complete batsman since Vivian Richards. In many ways though he has surpassed even that outstanding West Indian batsman.

When Tendulkar is on song, there is no more majestic sight in the cricketing world. The spectators at the stadium are on their feet cheering while all over the world, TV audiences are glued to the screen. He has scored heavily on all kinds of wickets the world over, in conditions which lesser mortals have not been able to master and against bowlers whom other batsmen have found it difficult to score off. Immensely gifted and blessed with an impeccable technique, Tendulkar's batting is a dream, combining timing, elegance and power. Mentally very strong, Tendulkar is best when confronted by a challenge - as he showed when mowing down Shane Warne in India in 1998. Captain during two short stints, Tendulkar has made it clear that he would prefer to concentrate on his batting and indeed, he seems to be getting better with every passing year. Scoring two double centuries in successive seasons and being the first to cross the 10,000 run barrier in ODIs is clear proof of this. The best thing from the fans' point of view - if not the bowler's - is that the entertainment, courtesy Tendulkar, is still at the intermission stage. Long may
`The King' continue to regale his willing subjects!

While his batting ranks him among the best in the world, he is also a part-time bowler and has played a crucial role as a leg spinner or a medium pace bowler who tends to break partnerships. He has more than a hundred wickets in ODIs and 35 in tests, though his bowling averages are above 40. He continues to perform well under the massive weight of expectation of hundreds of millions of cricket followers, in India and around the world, and most recently was named Player Of The Tournament in the 2003 Cricket World Cup.Incidentally, Sachin is the first batsman to be declared run out by third umpire in 1992 in South Africa.
