What would be the correct order of steps to addressing data quality problems in an organization?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

In the univariate Gaussian model, each risk factor is modeled separately independent of the others, and the dependence between the risk factors is captured by the covariance matrix (or its equivalent combination of the correlation matrix and the variance matrix). Risk factors could include interest rates of different tenors, different equity market levels etc.

While this is a simple enough model, it has a number of limitations.

First, it fails to fit to the empirical distributions of risk factors, notably their fat tails and skewness. Second, a single covariance matrix is insufficient to describe the fine codependence structure among risk factors as non-linear dependencies or tail correlations are not captured. Third, determining the covariance matrix becomes an extremely difficult task as the number of risk factors increases. The number of covariances increases by the square of the number of variables.

But an inability to capture linear relationships between the factors is not one of the limitations of the univariate Gaussian approach - in fact it is able to do that quite nicely with covariances.

A way to address these limitations is to consider joint distributions of the risk factors that capture the dynamic relationships between the risk factors, and that correlation is not a static number across an entire range of outcomes, but the risk factors can behave differently with each other at different intersection points.

I don't think calling in external consultants is a good first step. We should probably have a clear understanding of our data issues first.

I feel like option C might be correct, but it mixes up the order of analyzing the current state and designing the future state, which confuses me.

I remember a practice question where we had to identify gaps after assessing the current state. That seems to align with option A.

Okay, I've got it. The correct order is A - assess the current state, design the future state, determine gaps and actions.

I'm a bit confused about the "strategy-fit" analysis. Does that mean aligning the data quality goals with the overall business strategy? I'll have to think that through.

Hmm, I think the key is to start by assessing the current state and then design the future state. That way, you can identify the gaps and the actions needed.

I think the issue with the missing certifications points to Quality Assurance, but I'm not entirely sure. We studied this in class, and it seems that QA should ensure all necessary documentation is included.

D is definitely not the right answer. Calling in external consultants is not a step in addressing data quality problems. That's more of a last resort, if you don't have the internal expertise.

I'm leaning towards Option C. Designing the future state first, then analyzing the current state, and finally implementing the changes. It makes sense to have a clear vision before diving into the details.
