ODISSEI
A genome-wide association study of health care costs
This case study looks at the underlying causes of differences in the amount of care that people need. Are increased healthcare costs a consequence of certain physical and psychological characteristics or of personal and cognitive characteristics? Or is there another explanation found in previous research?
Analysing social network of the Netherlands
CBS can only analyse on a small, regional scale using their own technological facilities. The ODISSEI Secure Supercomputer enables data analysis at the national level. This involves 16.9 million nodes, interconnected by 39 billion links.
Effects of spatial contextual characteristics on personal income
What is the relationship between the neighbourhood you live in and your individual income? That is the research question in this TU Delft project. For calculation purposes, the Netherlands has been divided into grids of 100m2.
