The Internet of Things (IoT) is drastically changing our lives, whether this is at home, in the car, at work or even in the street. Gartner has predicted that by 2020, 20.8 billion devices will be connected. Moreover, the potential economic impact of IoT by 2025 is estimated to be
What's more, CXOs who believe that they can substitute data scientists for real data integration are as foolish as the duffer who consistently uses the wrong club.
It’s hard to pick up a medical journal or news article these days without reading something about the gut microbiome. Thanks to the NIH Human Microbiome Project established in 2008, health professionals and the general public have learned much about the link between the condition of our gut microbiome and
In der heutigen Zeit macht es immer weniger Sinn, gigantische Datenmengen über das Netzwerk in ein Auswertetool zur Analyse zu übertragen. Der Geschwindigkeitsvorteil einer hoch performanten statistischen Analyse von riesigen Datenmengen wird durch die lange Datenübertragung dieser riesigen Datenmengen wieder zunichtegemacht. An diesem Punkt müssen andere Technologien angewendet werden, um
Graphs enable you to visualize how the predicted values for a regression model depend on the model effects. You can gain an intuitive understanding of a model by using the EFFECTPLOT statement in SAS to create graphs like the one shown at the top of this article. Many SAS regression
El creciente uso de Internet en México y América Latina, ha significado un reto para las empresas de todos los tamaños e industrias, pues se han abierto oportunidades de negocio que les permiten contar con una mayor cobertura y presencia, sin embargo, aunado a ello han llegado los retos de
Report designers often discover after aggregating data by groups in the Visual Analytics Designer that it would also be nice to see additional aggregations of the data, for example, a maximum or minimum of that sum across groups. This means creating an ‘aggregation of an aggregation.’ If you plan your report objectives in
Es vergeht kein Tag, an dem man in den Medien nicht eine Bewertung eines möglichen Brexit liest. Experten streiten sich, welche Auswirkungen ein Austritt hätte. Sicher ist, dass sich etwas ändern würde. Nur kann keiner in die Zukunft schauen. Ich auch nicht! Und ich will hier auch keine Einschätzung abgeben.
One of our country's oldest institutions, the U.S. Census Bureau, is at the forefront of modern government efforts. Those efforts are numerous and disparate, from general directives to do more with less, to digitization and consolidation initiatives, to the “Cloud First” mandate, and the pushes for agile and open source development.
In recent years, more and more people have been registering as independent voters in the US, rather than Democrat or Republican - the independents now control well over 1/3 of the votes. Will they likely vote for the Democrat or Republican candidates in the upcoming election? Let's break down some numbers
Having introduced the term of Data Governance and defined business objectives, we can start to fulfill the first tasks within Data Governance programme construction. Step 1: business meaning of data While conducting their activity, organizations use many industry-specific terms. The mere definition of who a customer is for the company
As we are all well aware, providing caregiving for our parent(s) is complicated and messy. Siblings can often be both a blessing and a curse in this process, providing much needed relief and support, or perhaps creating additional stress and barriers to important decisions and resources. Why is this the
Bei einem Formel-1-Rennen drehen die Fahrzeuge vermeintlich alleine durch den Fahrer gesteuert ihre Runden. Rennen für Rennen verfolgen Menschen die Piloten bei ihrem Streben, die schnellste Runde zu fahren und die beste Zeit zu erreichen.
At the most recent SAS Global Forum in Las Vegas, I gave a demo on using SAS/OR to compute an optimal strategy for the casino game blackjack. For anyone who wasn't able to attend, I'd like to show some of the code and results here.
Fellow Roundtable writer David Loshin has commented in the past that: "MDM is popular because it is presented as a cure-all solution to all data problems in the organization." Many people see master data management (MDM) as the silver bullet to all of their business and data woes. But in
Some estimates suggest that the number of connected objects will be more than 50 billion by 2020. Each of us will own between six and 10 connected objects. But what exactly is the Internet of Things (IoT)? Wikipedia describes it as “the network of physical objects — devices, vehicles, buildings
There was this very embarrassing day around year six of my career as a statistician working in clinical trials. I had a small group of interns working on a project that combined data from multiple clinical trials. The goal was to better understand sources of variation in the common control

Menschen suchen Big Data Analytics. So finden sie in Warenkörben längst: „Mann klickt Pampers – bieten wir ihm noch Dosenbier an!”. Das ist irgendwie gewohnt und ethisch harmlos, weil ja rein kommerziell. Wie aber sieht das im Privaten beim Online Big Dating aus? Hoffentlich anders, denn…
Every beginning SAS programmer learns the simple IF-THEN/ELSE statement for conditional processing in the SAS DATA step. The basic If-THEN statement handles two cases: if a condition is true, the program does one thing, otherwise the program does something else. Of course, you can handle more cases by using multiple
A Turnip Graph displays the distribution of an analysis variable. The graph displays markers with the same (or close) y coordinate by displaying the markers spread out over the x-axis range in a symmetric pattern. Recently, a question was posted on the SAS Communities page regarding such a graph. Here is an example of
Für viele Data-Science-Teams ist das Internet of Things (IoT) bisher nur eine weitere Datenquelle. Für viele IoT-Projektteams sind Daten nur als ein weiteres Element, mit dem man sich beschäftigen muss. Aber jetzt, da immer mehr IoT-Implementierungen in die Realität umgesetzt werden, müssen sich beide Teams mit drei Tatsachen auseinandersetzen. Erstens:
The summer games have all the elements of a great story—power, drama, intrigue, and the key moment when one team rises above the rest and is dressed in gold. I guess I can’t help but love the games -- and as a professional communicator, I can’t resist a great story.
Mit fortschreitender Digitalisierung entdecken immer mehr Versicherer neue Möglichkeiten der Tarifgestaltung. Hierzu zählen aktuell sogenannte Telematik-Tarife, die das individuelle Fahrverhalten der Versicherten berücksichtigt. Zur Bewertung des Fahrverhaltens werden mittels einer Blackbox Daten wie z. B. gefahrene Kilometer, Beschleunigung und Bremsverhalten gesammelt. Aus diesen unterschiedlichen Kennzahlen wird mittels analytischer Verfahren ein fahrerspezifischer

Here in the US, our July 4th Independence Day holiday is coming up. It's a festive holiday with lots of fun & fireworks, but you also need to also be careful ... and I've got the graphs to prove it! Last year, I wrote a blog post about a SAS
Collecting, managing, standardizing and analyzing clinical data during (and after) a clinical trial is crucial in the process for submission and regulatory approval of a new compound, biological, device or other therapy. A central clinical platform requires: Robust and auditable analytics to prove the result to the authorities and external
