InfoQ is different from data quality and analysis quality, but is dependent on these components and on the relationship between them. Formally, the definition is InfoQ = U(X,f|g) where X is the data, f the analysis method, g the goal and U the utility function.
There are various statistical methods for increasing InfoQ at the study-design and post-data-collection stages—how are these related to InfoQ?
Kenett and Shmueli (2014) proposed eight dimensions to help assess InfoQ and various methods for increasing InfoQ:
1) Data resolution
3) Data integration
4) Temporal relevance
5) Chronology of data and goal
8) Communication.
Formalizing the concept of InfoQ increases the value of statistical analysis and data mining, both methodologically and practically
A detailed introduction to InfoQ with examples from healthcare, education, official statistics, customer surveys and risk management is available in the book by Kenett and Shmueli, Information Quality: The Potential of Data and Analytics to Generate Knowledge, John Wiley and Sons, 2016.
