            and  appropriate  conclusions  can  be  drawn  through  the  reciprocal
            recombination of data between different fields; in terms of the way of thinking,
            the perception of useless data should be changed as any data in the big data
            contains the “information” and the information that seems “wrong” is just the
            evidence for “correct” information. The value of big data requires frequent
            mining and use from different angles, so the potential value will be released
            continuously.

            (III)   Analyzing the application space of big data in the business process
            of government statistics
                Currently,  the  application  of  big  data  in  government  statistics  mainly
            focuses  on  specific  fields,  and  the  government  statistical  methods  are
            perfected by technical means. For example, in the population statistics, the big
            data from mobile communications is used to realize the dynamic monitoring
            of population; in the agricultural statistics, the remote sensing technology is
            applied  to  obtain  the  information  about  crop  planting  area,  floor  area  of
            facility agriculture and yield prediction of crops, etc.; in the real estate price
            statistics, the data endorsed on the internet is used in most of the large and
            medium-sized cities to calculate the price index of new houses and second-
            hand houses; in the transportation statistics, the big data generated from the
            highway network monitoring system is used to reckon the highway freight
            information.
                A  complete  set  of  business  processes  has  been  formed  in  practice  for
            government statistics over the years, which is mainly divided into three links,
            namely data collection, data analysis and data issuing. The whole business
            system  is  quite  mature  and  basically  meets  the  social  statistical  needs.
            Therefore,  it  is  thought  in  this  paper  that  the  application  of  big  data  in
            government statistics should not be limited to the level of technical means
            and also the specific fields of statistics under the current business process
            system of statistics and a deeper application is that the thinking of big data
            should run through the government statistics.
                By taking the statistical business process as an entry point, the experience
            and methods are drawn from the application of big data in enterprises to
            realize the perfection of data collection, data analysis and data issuing based
            on  the  analysis  on  expandable  application  space  of  big  data  in  each  link,
            improve the data quality for government statistics, deepen the data analysis
            and enhance the foresight of trend analysis.
                In the data collection process, a large amount of source data is manually
            collected, the data quality is interfered by human factors, and most of data is
            collected after the event. Therefore, such data has poor timeliness to reflect
            the hot spots and emergencies and low predictability for future trend. It is
            hereby proposed to optimize the data collection methods by means of big

                                                               364 | I S I   W S C   2 0 1 9
