"A quality framework for statistical algorithms" by Wesley Yung, Siu Ming Tam et al.
As national statistical offices (NSOs) modernize, interest in integrating machine learning (ML) into official statisticians' toolbox is growing. Two challenges to such an integration are the potential loss of transparency from using 'black-boxes' and the need to develop a quality framework. In 2019, the High-Level Group for the Modernisation of Official Statistics (HLG-MOS) launched a project on machine learning with one of the objectives being to address these two challenges. One of the outputs of the HLG-MOS project is a Quality Framework for Statistical Algorithms (QF4SA). Wh...
