Last chance to register to the next IASS webinar: Combining Multiple Data Sources using Statistical Modeling

27 August 2026 | 14:00–15:30 CEST | Free to attend

As budgets tighten, the rise of new data sources, including administrative records, geospatial data, non-probability surveys and AI-generated data, offers fresh ways to tackle complex statistical challenges. This session looks at how statistical modelling can combine multiple sources to produce precise granular estimates, reduce non-sampling errors and address self-selection bias, with a closing look at applications in poverty mapping.

Presented by:
Partha Lahiri – Professor, University of Maryland College Park; President of the International Association of Survey Statisticians (IASS); expert in Small Area Estimation

Demand for diverse socio-economic, agricultural and health statistics is surging, yet survey organisations must navigate increasingly tight budgets. The rise of diverse data sources, including administrative records, geospatial data, non-probability surveys and AI-generated data, offers new opportunities to tackle complex statistical challenges.

This webinar explores how statistical modelling can combine multiple data sources to extract high-value insights, covering precise granular estimates, multivariate analyses, reducing non-sampling errors in probability samples, and mitigating self-selection bias in non-probability data.

The session concludes with a look at recent developments in poverty mapping, showing practical solutions of critical interest to national and international statistical organisations.

🚨 Last Call! 🚨

Don't miss our upcoming webinar:
Small Area Estimation Beyond Traditional Data: Opportunities, Challenges, and Emerging Applications

Learn how big data and alternative data sources -including administrative data, satellite imagery, mobile phone data, and citizen-generated data - are reshaping Small Area Estimation and helping produce more timely, reliable, and localised statistics.

🎀 Our speaker is Professor Monica Pratesi (University of Pisa), an internationally recognised expert in Small Area Estimation and former President of the International Association of Survey Statisticians (IASS). She brings extensive experience from both academia and official statistics, including leadership roles at Italy's National Institute of Statistics (Istat).

Whether you're a statistician, researcher, data scientist, student, or policymaker, this is a webinar you won't want to miss.

πŸ“Š Webinar alert! πŸ“Š

As policy needs become more local and more timely, Small Area Estimation (SAE) is changing fast. It's no longer just about survey and census data β€” administrative records, satellite imagery, mobile phone data and citizen-generated data are all opening up new possibilities for more accurate, more local statistics.

Join the International Association of Survey Statisticians - IASS for a free webinar on:
πŸ”Ή Small Area Estimation Beyond Traditional Data: Opportunities, Challenges, and Emerging Applications

πŸ“… 14 July 2026

We'll explore how big and alternative data sources are being used in SAE models, the challenges around bias and representativeness, and how to keep statistics reliable, ethical and useful β€” especially for underserved populations and areas that are often left out of the picture.

πŸŽ™οΈ Your presenter: Pratesi, Full Professor of Statistics at the University of Pisa and former President of the IASS, brings decades of experience in small area estimation and poverty mapping.

How can governments make fair decisions if millions of people are missing from the data?

There are 476 million Indigenous Peoples across the world, representing thousands of cultures and languages. Yet many remain statistically invisible because official data has historically underrepresented Indigenous populations.

Join the ISI Academy Webinar: Recent Developments in Indigenous Statistics to learn how the newly established ISI Special Interest Group (SIG) on Indigenous Statistics is helping shape more inclusive and equitable statistical practices worldwide.

You'll discover:
βœ… The vision and future work of the new ISI SIG on Indigenous Statistics.
βœ… New approaches for collecting and reporting Indigenous data that respect cultural diversity.
βœ… Why better statistics are essential for better policies, stronger public services, and reducing inequality.

This conversation matters because when people are missing from the data, they are often missing from government budgets and policy decisions. Improving Indigenous statistics is a critical step toward fairer funding for education, healthcare, and community development.
