Historically, generations could expect to experience one – maybe at best – major technology disruption or transformation in their lifetime. That’s simply not the case today. Today it is more difficult than ever before to know what will transform the technology landscape in the next month or the next year.
I’m a productivity junkie! Living in a culture where productivity is highly valued, cutting corners on sleep is often a life survival skill. We’ve been trained to function this way (at least in the US) for over 50 years. As a result, being tired and fatigued is the status quo
A pesar de que el Big Data, la Analítica y los científicos de datos ahora están en todas partes, estos temas les pueden parecer completamente desconocidos a muchos de los colombianos. La primera define el desbordado crecimiento que están teniendo los datos a nivel mundial (cada vez que envía un
“What we are experiencing from analytics today is nothing short of a revolution,” said CEO Jim Goodnight, who spoke at Analytics Experience 2016 and set the stage for the conference’s executive panel. “Right now, my primary mission is to ensure people understand the limitless possibilities that lie before us, given
In Part 1 of this two-part series, I defined data preparation and data wrangling, then raised some questions about requirements gathering in a governed environment (i.e., ODS and/or data warehouse). Now – all of us very-managed people are looking at the horizon, and we see the data lake. How do
I jumped down the rabbit hole of essential oils (EOs) and aromatherapy ~18 years ago and never looked back. Smell is one of the strongest connections we have to memory. My first experience with essential oil occurred during a massage when the therapist used Lilac. I immediately thought of my
In meinem letzten Blog habe ich Ihr Wissen auf die Probe gestellt und versprochen, den Test fortzusetzen. Heute allerdings möchte ich mich nicht an weiteren Begriffen und deren Abkürzungen abarbeiten, sondern mich auf nur einen fokussieren. AnaCredit. Was verbirgt sich dahinter, was bedeutet er? Eines ist klar: An AnaCredit scheiden
Oh, man! What's happening? I just can't figure out what's going on. I'm tired. Exhausted actually. I don't feel well. I just want my energy back! We've all been there. Sometimes more often that we'd like. Sounds like it's time for a reboot. How do we reboot the human body?
In this post, I will show you how to control the order of the entries in a legend and explicitly control the correspondence between groups and style elements in PROC SGPLOT. In many cases, the colors that are used to differentiate groups do not matter--the graph simply needs to display
La historia reciente en la industria financiera a nivel mundial ha dejado un número importante de casos en los que la materialización de los riesgos, financieros y no financieros, han desembocado en pérdidas de diversas magnitudes: desde aquellas que impiden lograr los objetivos para alguna línea de negocio; hasta aquellas
Nie tak dawno wypadła 25 rocznica uruchomienia Internetu w Polsce, SAS w tym roku obchodzi 40 rocznicę istnienia, a z moich rachunków wynika, że używam SAS-a dokładnie od 15 lat. Jak dla mnie, jedną z głównych zmian, która miała miejsce w tym czasie i była między innymi efektem rozwoju Internetu,
Who says machine learning can't be fun? A crew of us from SAS went to San Francisco for the recent KDD conference, which bills itself as "a premier interdisciplinary conference, [which]brings together researchers and practitioners from data science, data mining, knowledge discovery, large-scale data analytics, and big data." We brought
Deutschland ist beliebt bei Auswanderern. Was von Menschen aus anderen Ländern, die hier wohnen und arbeiten, positiv hervorgehoben wird, ist laut einem aktuellen Report unter anderem die Gesundheitsversorgung. Und diese Qualität hat ihren Preis. Die Pro-Kopf-Ausgaben im Gesundheitswesen steigen mehr oder weniger seit Jahren kontinuierlich. Doch gibt es Verbündete gegen
SAS releases regular updates to software products in the form of hot fixes and maintenance releases. Hot fixes are SAS' timely response to customer-reported problems, as well as a way to deliver occasional security-related updates that can affect any software product. At SAS we call them "hot fixes." Other companies
You've seen the QR codes that you can just scan in with your smartphone's camera, rather than writing down a web URL or other information, right? But do you know how to create your own QR code? Here's an easy way to create them, using SAS... You're probably familiar with
Data governance can encompass a wide spectrum of practices, many of which are focused on the development, documentation, approval and deployment of policies associated with data management and utilization. I distinguish the facet of “operational” data governance from the fully encompassed practice to specifically focus on the operational tasks for
The IT industry is littered with examples of short-lived corporate partnerships and alliances that often appear impressive but regularly end or are withdrawn after the initial enthusiasm wanes. The old adage that “actions speaker louder than words” is especially pertinent and I regularly encourage clients to look for tangible examples
Das Internet of Things (IoT) durchdringt Smart Cities in einem Tempo und Ausmaß, dass einem der Atem stockt. Es gibt Städte, die in der Art und Weise, wie sie das IoT nutzen, andere in den Schatten stellen. Barcelona ist ein gutes Beispiel dafür: Vernetzte Bushaltestellen etwa zeigen die genaue Ankunftszeit
One of the strengths of the SGPLOT procedure in SAS is the ease with which you can overlay multiple plots on the same graph. For example, you can easily combine the SCATTER and SERIES statements to add a curve to a scatter plot. However, if you try to overlay incompatible
The internet of medical things, spurred by the advent of wearable sensors, has dramatic consequences in industry, healthcare, and analytics, just as the advent of the internet of things and analytics has consequences in education. When I began my internship at SAS in May, I knew little about the internet of
The technology breakthrough during the last years have brought an increase in insurance fraud and, as a consequence, they are changing the landscape in the sector. From Pricing Comparison Websites (aggregators), to Telematics and Usage Based Insurance, to Internet of Things, the increasing demand for Cyber Insurance and new Peer
If you’re doing data processing in the cloud or using container-enabled infrastructures to deploy your software, you’ll want to learn more about SAS Analytics for Containers. This new solution puts SAS into your existing container-enabled environment – think Docker or Kubernetes – giving data scientists and analysts the ability to
As teachers, we lean into our experience. We trust our judgment about students and our instruction. We trade teaching stories with colleagues. And increasingly, we examine student growth data that illuminates our practice and occasionally suggests we refine our approach to individual students. In the past decade, states and districts
For a SAS professional, presenting at SAS Global Forum 2017 can be a very rewarding. It can enhance your conference experience, help expand the knowledge of the broader SAS community, and advance your career by putting you on display as an expert SAS professional. It can also be a little
Next week, Work/Life, HCC, and RFC will hold the first ever Sleep Transformation challenge for SAS employees and their adult family members. As part of a series of blogs on sleep by the Work/Life staff, today’s topic is Children and Sleep. Like adults, many children do not get enough
As you may know, Work/Life is partnering with RFC and HCC to launch a Sleep Transformation next month, so I thought I would focus this month’s blog on the importance of sleep for older adults with dementia. We are all aware of the importance of a good night’s sleep,
El big data se ha convertido en una parte fundamental del éxito de las compañías visionarias que comprenden y valoran la importancia de la recolección y análisis de los datos generados en una empresa. Sin embargo, el big data sin la presencia de un científico de datos podría carecer de
My friend and colleague Charlie Chase, author of the new book Next Generation Demand Management, has developed a 2-day course to go along with the book. The course is part of the SAS Business Knowledge Series, and is being offered in Chicago, October 19-20. Here are the details: Next Generation
Time series machine learning techniques show great promise for the analysis of health care wearable data. As our busy lifestyles render continuous monitoring more and more essential, the need to analyze data to find correlations between these data streams becomes even more important, because they can provide important cues to
Lately I've been binge-watching a lot of police procedural television shows. The standard format for almost every episode is the same. It starts with the commission or discovery of a crime, followed by forensic investigation of the crime scene, analysis of the collected evidence, and interviews or interrogations with potential suspects. It ends
