Past attendees of Superweek have ridden along with Tim as he explored R, and then as he dove deeper into some of the fundamental concepts of statistics. In this session, he will provide the latest update on that journey: how he is putting his exploration into the various dimensions of data science to use with real data and real clients. The statistical methods will be real, the code will be R (and available on GitHub), and the data will only be lightly obfuscated. So, you will be able to head back to your room at the next break and try one or more of the examples out on your own data! (But, don't do that -- the food and conversation at the breaks is too good to miss!)

The Google Analytics Suite of products is now part of the Google Marketing Platform. We will cover how key pieces of the Platform can be used including the Salesforce connectors, Display & Video 360, Google Optimize integration, and Google Cloud integrations. We will review how data can be used actionably for advertising, e-mail, personalization, and surveys.

Mobile Apps are not the same as web, so why have we been measuring them as such? With the old GA Services SDK turning down for some users, it's time to look into how to use Google Analytics for Firebase to measure and action on your mobile app's data. Krista will walk you through the benefits and power of the tool, explain the differences in data model and implementation best practices, and tips for how to migrate.

"The vast majority of commercial web data we analyse, even as professionals, is poor quality." A large part of my job involves auditing Google Analytics setups in order to establish the quality of the data collected. This story brings together some of the extraordinary findings of my work. Its a study of 75 enterprise websites using Google Analytics. The results are somewhat surprising (and depressing) in that they show the general poor quality of data that organisations are working with. For example: the Average Quality Index score is only 35.7 out of 100, and one in five websites have a PII issue i.e. were collecting personal information into Google Analytics.
