Data Mining


Bardwell Consulting brings decades of experience in identifying patterns and relationships in data. We use a range of statistical techniques to discover previously unknown and potentially useful information. Through this knowledge discovery process we create models to predict future behavior. We have applied data mining to:

  • Develop system to identify and estimate royalty underpayment on Federal oil leases for statistical billing.

  • Analyze caseload processing and develop models predicting growing backlogs resulting from a faulty $200M state benefit-processing system.

  • Conduct a study of minority voting patterns to reveal patterns of racial bloc voting resulting in major redistricting.

  • Develop a novel method for revealing socioeconomic and age bias in jury selection.

  • Analyze detailed records for over 150,000 students to reveal patterns relating race, poverty and educational achievement.

  • Analyze property management records for patterns of treatment of persons with disabilities.

  • Discover characteristics of households for a survey of immigrant families that removed 97% ineligible households, by data mining commercially available marketing databases.

  • Analyze the relationship between stamp duty rates and real estate sales.

  • Analyze election records for evidence of mishandling or fraud in elections.

  • Analyze employment records for patterns in employment decisions.

  • Construct a model of jury selection process revealing systemic bias.

  • Develop algorithms applying probability theory to improve performance of genetic programming application.
