Technology Assisted Research Methodologies: The Two Factors of the Data Quality Decision Model

摘要

Data quality is a concept that has received much attention in the recent past. This work uses multi-attribute utility theory and proposes a decision choice model (TARM-DQM) and function (Q) based on data quality and cost attributes. TARM-DQM employs scales to measure data quality and cost of data acquisition. The ratings obtained from those scales are used as parameters in the Q function. The output of the utility function Q is a measure of data quality and cost of data collection alternatives.
