Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, a computer program product, and a computer system for enriching data. A computer receives a limited dataset and a target insight. In addition, the computer identifies an applicable richer dataset and determines a population relatedness between the limited dataset and the applicable richer dataset. Moreover, the computer calculates estimators of features using the richer dataset as well as calculates estimators for features using the limited dataset. The computer then updates the estimators of the limited dataset using estimators of the richer dataset and evaluates the updated estimators. Lastly, the computer provides a data collection recommendation as it relates to the limited dataset based on the evaluation.
