Fra costo del lavoro, cuneo fiscale e costo del lavoro standardizzato per la produttività, le PMI d’Italia non se la passano proprio bene, specie per l’ultimo. E se vale nel privato, figuriamoci nella pubblica amministrazione…L’automazione permette di aumentare il vantaggio competitivo, il valore aggiunto per dipendente e anche la loro soddisfazione lavorativa, possibilmente favorendo la …
In 2015, not a week went by without finding articles about a new source of wealth: data. Too bad that most of these were taking up a handful of articles found in the United States, so they were talking about a phenomenon that was still little seen in Europe. But how does a resource become income, wealth? ...
There are various ways to classify people. In a previous article, I mentioned the "5 personality traits," also called OCEAN. There is also a variation of the latter, called HEXACO. Young people are more familiar with the MBTI. But these turn out to be psychometric approaches. In this article I will use an approach by Italian economist Carlo Cipolla. According to Cipolla, ...
The Italian National Institute of Statistics (ISTAT) provides mortality tables, so a useful demographic resource for citizens to understand how life expectancy varies by age, region, province, etc. (conditional average). There is also the variation by occupation, educational qualification. Then there are also studies, not from ISTAT, that explain life expectancy as a function of lifestyle variables, ...
Unfortunately, some of the words that follow have meanings not only in data science (data science) or statistics, but also in database administration (now data engineering), and in the galaxy of linguistic statistical models (LLM or AI). So there occurs that linguistic plague, in my opinion, where a word takes on multiple meanings depending on the ...

The statistician first and foremost helps bring order, not least because, as the middle school geometry and math teacher recalled, ...

Alchemists sought the philosopher's stone, a legendary substance that could turn common metals into gold. Alchemists often used symbols and a coded language to hide their discoveries. Alchemists conducted systematic experiments to discover new chemical processes. In Italy we see this passage in Paracelsus. In addition to the transmutation of substances, alchemy aspired ...
Big data is part of that inflated set of words from the previous decade. There are various answers to this question, depending on the tool one uses to do data analysis, and from informality. When spreadsheets crash, that is, they suddenly close or are unusable because they are too slow. Although both Excel and Google ...
In itself it is optimistic to say, as I do in my videos, that various domains of statistics, or data science, help in making more rigorous decisions that lead to increased revenue and/or decreased costs. This is because we do not live in an age where we have automated decision makers. Not even in industrial chemical plants do we have this situation, despite ...

What might Massimo Recalcati (the Italian Jacques Lacan) think of uncertainty, expressed, in this context, as statistical variability and indices of statistical variability? In the shrouded garden of sensuality, uncertainty emerges as an enigmatic entity, a female figure clothed in black veils of mystery. Her passage is like an icy wind, caressing the skin and triggering a dance ...
