Statistical Analysis is important when creating good policy and running effective public administration. Program and policy changes need to be based on either societal changes or as a response to issues. How do policy consultants and their leaders know what areas to focus on it? Statistical analysis should assist good policy in the right direction can form prediction and assist with risk analysis. Measuring how high a need helps us focus on what areas would have the biggest impact. Should a problem facing 5% of the applicants be developed or should we focus on a problem affecting 95% of the applicants. Good policies take these measurements into consideration. Not only is statistical analysis important in deciding policy change it leads to accountable government. If a significant budget is spent on a low population and a small budget on another larger population group, is this informed decision making? Statistical analysis is an important part in evaluation of policy and projects. Often pilot projects are developed to address an issue, evaluation is required to show statistically were the outcomes achieved, did specific rates reduce? Public administrators must be clear with their statistics, how was the data gathered? Clear data is needed to assist their leadership with their decision making. Interpretation of the data must be ethically based and transparent. Statistics is used to form evidence-based decision making. However, at times data can be manipulated incorrectly to help support decisions. Clear ethical data analysis is key.
