The Committee on National Statistics (CNSTAT) was established at the National Academies in 1972 at the recommendation of the President’s Commission on Federal Statistics. Its original mandate was to provide an independent and objective resource for evaluating and improving the work of the highly decentralized U.S. federal statistical system. While it continues to fulfill this mandate, the work of CNSTAT has expanded to include undertaking studies from a broad range of research and program agencies of the federal government. The Committee’s mission is to improve the statistical methods and information on which public policy decisions are based. It works to improve the data collection and estimation methods for a wide range of federal statistical activities, to further the application of statistics to better implement and evaluate federal programs, and to improve statistical methods for application to public affairs and to social, economic, and other scientific research.

1800-luvun jälkipuoliskolla Suomen talouden kasvuvauhti oli melko vaatimatonta ja talouden kehitys epävakaata. Kasvu nopeutui vähitellen ja saavutti huippunsa toisen maailmansodan jälkeisinä vuosikymmeninä. 1970-luvun loppupuolelta lähtien talouskasvu hidastui. 1990-luvun lama oli rauhanajan lamakausista vakavin: bruttokansantuotteen määrä pieneni vuosina 1990-1993 yli 11 prosenttia. Vuodesta 1994 lähtien bruttokansantuote on kasvanut jälleen yhtäjaksoisesti. Vuonna 2008 se kasvoi määrältään 1,0 prosenttia edellisvuodesta.

As just about every statistics student can attest, Simpson's Paradox — a statistical phenomenon where an apparent trend is reversed when you look at subgroups — is notoriously hard to explain. You can look at examples — say, the fact that US wages are rising overall, but dropping within every educational group — but that don't really help to explain the paradox. But it's not really paradox at all, but simply the fact that the disparate rate at which members of the study join the subgroups isn't accounted for in the analysis. To demonstrate this effect, the Visualizing Urban Data...
