Projects – ODISSEI Social Data Science Team (SoDa)
Citizen Science
To get an overview of what citizen science projects are available in the Netherlands, we have created a website with an overview of such projects. The community can contribute their own projects via the gitub page!

OSSC pipeline for Kansenkaart.nl
Using large data sets from Statistics Netherlands, we developed a data pre-processing and analysis pipeline for estimating expectations concerning the inequality of opportunity in The Netherlands using the ODISSEI Secure Supercomputer (OSSC). These estimates will be available on the project website.

Geo-enrichment
We have created an R-package to perform geo-enrichment of datasets using openstreetmaps. Enriching geo-coded (latitude/longitude) data sets with features from the physical surroundings enables researchers to take into account spatial surroundings in statistical models.

Housing Market data engineering
We are generating datasets from 10TB of online marketing (clicks) data from a large online housing platform. These datasets are then used in research surrounding search behaviour on the housing market in the Netherlands.

Inference from Volunteer Data
We are creating an analysis pipeline, which will result in a paper outlining how to perform precise statistical inference (correcting for selection bias) using volunteer-generated data.

Online Housing Market search strategy
Which search behaviour leads to finding a house quickly on the housing market? We are co-designing and implementing a study on this topic using a large database of online housing search behaviour.

Empathy Diagnostic Dashboard
Research on empathy in anti-social adolescents with the research group on adolescence from the Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences from Utrecht University. The project’s goal is to create a tool that can help translate a diagnostic interview into a diagnostic report in which individual scores can be visualized.

FIRMBACKBONE
An initiative to collect an organically growing longitudinal data-infrastructure with information on Dutch companies for academic research. This data will become available for researchers affiliated with universities in The Netherlands through ODISSEI. We are consulting on the technical implementation of the FIRMBACKBONE project.

Synthetic register Data for Open Science
We are exploring the use of existing software packages to generate synthetic datasets for the Statistics Netherlands microdata architecture. These synthetic datasets can then be used as example datasets when sharing analyses (but not original data!) with researchers.

CBS Network Data Processing
We are aiding the implementation of the Statistics Netherlands population network data files in order to make them available to network researchers. These network data files can be used to develop network analysis models.
Contributors: Tom Emery and Javier Garcia-Bernardo.
Brainstorm: synthetic data
Brainstorming with researchers about working with Statistics Netherlands data and generating synthetic data that can serve as input in an agent-based model.
Contributors: Sanne Hettinga, Corentin Kuster, and Erik-Jan van Kesteren.
Grant application partners
We regularly brainstorm & partner with researchers on submitting a grant application. This could be an ODISSEI eScience grant, a LISS panel grant or any other (e.g., NWO) grant.
Code Profiling Help
We are available to talk and teach about making statistical analysis code more efficient.
Contributors: Thijs Lindner and Erik-Jan van Kesteren.
