Just published: "Analyzing Behavioral Big Data: Methodological, Practical, Ethical, and Moral Issues"

My paper (with discussion by 4 sets of authors and a rejoinder) that just came out in Quality Engineering, is aimed at introducing the community of industrial statisticians to the different challenges, opportunities and issues in analyzing "Big Behavioral Data" (BBD). Industrial statistics is typically focused on monitoring, improving, and testing "things", but today "things" are increasingly measuring human and social behavior (e.g., phones and sensors). This change has important ramifications to researchers.
