Data Science

The abundance of sales and production data generated by modern IT infrastructure can be overwhelming even for the most adept businesses. We help you to structure and extract value from your data.

Data management. We combine and reshape datasets of disparate sources and formats containing millions of entries to make their information available for new purposes and analyses.

Statistics. We use Frequentist and Bayesian approaches to identify statistical patterns in your business data. We generate core statistics and estimate the probabilities of certain events.

Econometric analysis. We use methods from modern econometrics to estimate conditional probabilities and isolate cause-and-effect relationships. We design regression models taking into account all interdependencies and measurement errors inherent in real-world data.
