Trakanalytica DataLab

A Professional Data Platform for Research, Analytics, and Training

Trakanalytica DataLab is a multi-domain data platform that provides cleaned, structured, and analysis-ready datasets for use in research, data analytics, policy evaluation, and professional reporting.

Our datasets are designed to bridge the gap between raw data and real-world analysis, enabling users to focus on insights rather than data preparation.

Curated Data, Ready for Analysis

DataLab is a curated collection of datasets sourced from globally recognized databases and transformed into ready-to-use analytical resources.

Unlike raw public datasets, which often require extensive preprocessing, DataLab datasets are built for immediate, serious analytical use.

The goal is simple: to provide data that is ready for analysis, not preparation.
Cleaned and validated

Every variable is reviewed and verified against source documentation.

Structured for immediate use

No reformatting, no guesswork. Open the file and start your analysis.

Harmonized across variables and time

Consistent naming, units, and coding conventions throughout.

Supported with clear documentation

Every dataset ships with a codebook and methodology notes.

A Rigorous, Structured Process

All datasets available in DataLab undergo a structured and rigorous preparation process carried out by statisticians and data analysts at Trakanalytica.

01

Data Extraction

Datasets are sourced directly from official, globally recognized databases and repositories.

02

Cleaning and Validation

Each variable is reviewed, validated, and corrected against original source documentation.

03

Missing Data Handling

Depending on the dataset, we apply complete case analysis or multiple imputation techniques where appropriate.

04

Variable Transformation

Variables are recoded, harmonized, and structured to align with standard analytical workflows.

05

Structural Organization

Final datasets are formatted and organized for compatibility with common analytical tools and software.

06

Documentation

Every dataset is accompanied by a codebook, methodology notes, and preprocessing explanations.

Global Burden of Disease (GBD)

More global policy sources are being added on an ongoing basis.

6 sources

Economic, Trade & Development Data

World Bank, World Development Indicators (WDI) OECD, Trade in Value Added (TiVA) United Nations Comtrade Database UNCTAD TRAINS Database National statistical systems (e.g., KNBS) Central Bank datasets

Built on Sound Statistical Practice

All datasets are prepared in strict alignment with official documentation from the original data source, standard statistical practices, and survey design specifications where applicable.

Survey Data Handling

  • Proper application of sampling weights
  • Correct specification of strata and clusters
  • Alignment with recommended analytical approaches

Data Processing Principles

  • Reproducible
  • Transparent
  • Methodologically sound
  • Suitable for academic and professional use

Documentation & Transparency

Every dataset includes full transparency into how it was built:

  • Data cleaning methodology Step-by-step account of all transformations applied
  • Variable definitions (codebook) Complete reference for every field in the dataset
  • Preprocessing explanations Clear rationale for all decisions made during preparation
  • Justification of transformations Why each variable was handled the way it was
This ensures users understand not only the data, but how it was prepared.

Why DataLab Uses an Access Model

The access fee is not for the raw data itself.

It reflects the value added through professional data preparation.

Data cleaning and validation
Missing data handling
Structural organization and harmonization
Analytical readiness preparation

These processes are carried out by statisticians and data analysts at Trakanalytica, ensuring that users receive data that is immediately usable for serious analysis.

Our Vision

A Globally Accessible Platform for High-Quality,
Analysis-Ready Data

To provide a globally accessible platform where users can access high-quality, analysis-ready datasets across multiple domains without the burden of data preparation.

DataLab is not a data repository. It is a professional data preparation and analytics platform.
