La industria financiera es la que más cambios genera al paso de los años. El registro de datos generaba confusión que conduce a una crisis dentro del sector. Hoy, la analítica crea una nueva vertiente para la correcta toma de decisiones. Un estudio reveló que los analistas dedicaban el 80 por ciento
There are many compelling reasons existing SAS users might want to start integrating SAS Viya into their SAS9 programs and applications. For me, it comes down to ease-of-use, speed, and faster time-to-value. With the ability to traverse the (necessarily iterative) analytics lifecycle faster than before, we are now able to generate
Reading an external file that contains delimiters (commas, tabs, or other characters such as a pipe character or an exclamation point) is easy when you use the IMPORT procedure. It's easy in that variable names are on row 1, the data starts on row 2, and the first 20 rows
Wo steht eigentlich die europäische Versicherungswirtschaft in puncto Advanced Analytics, KI und Automatisierung? Erleben wir, dass gerade auch in der Assekuranz traditionelle Verfahren der Datenanalyse mit dem Begriff „maschinelles Lernen" überklebt werden? Oder ist die Branche hier schon deutlich weiter? Sind beispielsweise echte Chatbots wirklich schon allgegenwärtig? Aktuelle Einblicke gibt
La aplicación de la inteligencia artificial en los negocios constituye un área en constante evolución cuya demanda aumenta día con día. Este fenómeno es resultado de la alta interacción máquina-humano que experimentamos en varios aspectos de nuestras vidas, así como de la necesidad constante de aprender y actuar de forma
In growing areas such as the Research Triangle Park, there is always the tough decision between developing land for business, or keeping it natural for parks and recreation. SAS is fortunate to have the great hiking trails at Umstead Park just across the road to the north - it's the
Jim Harris says more reusable data quality processes mean less reliance on IT and higher productivity across the board.
According to a study published in May 2017, people who don’t get enough sleep eat, on average, 385 MORE calories than usual with significantly less protein and more fat. They also experience a heightened motivation to seek food for reward (i.e. that donut and sweet coffee drink in the morning look
Editor-in-Chief Len Tashman's Preview of the Fall 2017 Issue of Foresight Artificial intelligence (AI) is the name commonly given to the ability of machines to mimic the human aptitude to reason, solve problems, and learn from experience. Research in this field over the past few decades has spanned many disciplines,
Stories have been flooding the market lately about artificial intelligence (AI) causing the next world war. Based originally on comments made by Elon Musk (see below), many others are jumping in to share similar fears. China, Russia, soon all countries w strong computer science. Competition for AI superiority at national level
분석이 매 순간, 데이터가 존재하는 모든 곳에 적용된다면 어떤 일들이 가능해질까요? 오늘날 우리는 데이터가 사회와 경제를 움직이는 ‘데이터 이코노미’ 시대에 살고 있습니다. IDC는 오는 2025년 전 세계 데이터 양이 현재의 10배에 달하는 163제타바이트(ZB)에 이를 것으로 전망했는데요. 그러나 데이터는 그 자체만으로 유용하지 않습니다. 모든 데이터는 대기 시간과 유효 기간의 속성을 지니기
One of the best parts of my job is hearing about all the cool ways people are using data for good. Increasingly, many of these stories are related to the Internet of Things, including: Smart pills that help patients stick to their treatment regimens. These ingestible sensors can monitor patients’
Many of us struggle with getting enough good quality sleep. I have a 9 month old daughter, so I am well aware of the struggles and the consequences of not getting enough sleep. Winding down from the day is one of the top reasons why it takes many of us
David Loshin describes how data as a service supports fast deployment, easy accessibility and data reuse.
Hacer un acercamiento a ciegas con un cliente, esperar meses para decidir lanzar o no un producto o gastar semanas e incontables horas hombre en levantar estadísticas que permitan identificar potenciales mejoras en productividad son historias selladas y enterradas. El mundo de los negocios se mueve hoy al ritmo de los
Modelle im Risikomanagement sind essenziell. Sie helfen uns dabei, das Risiko eines Unterfangens auf Basis weniger Einflussgrößen vorherzusagen. Die Kunst der Modellierung besteht nun darin, die wichtigsten Faktoren zu bestimmen und einen komplexen Zusammenhang vereinfacht so abzubilden, dass die Aussagekraft relevant ist. Das heißt, modellbasierte Prognosen sollen möglichst nahe an
Pearson's correlation measures the linear association between two variables. Because the correlation is bounded between [-1, 1], the sampling distribution for highly correlated variables is highly skewed. Even for bivariate normal data, the skewness makes it challenging to estimate confidence intervals for the correlation, to run one-sample hypothesis tests ("Is
12 hours: That’s how quickly you can die from sepsis. Oh – you’ve never heard of sepsis? Not surprising. More Americans have heard of Ebola, a nearly non-existent condition in the U.S., than sepsis – a condition that affects more than 1.6 million Americans every year. Sepsis is the body’s
Get faster value out of your data by empowering business users to work with data on their own.
Have you heard the term “analytics economy” and wondered what it means? Or maybe you’ve wondered how your organization can use data and analytics to achieve economic gains. Now we have more than just data. We have accessible data, fueled by advances in compute power and connectivity, and interpreted by ever-more powerful
The government has an unfathomable amount of data -- and it grows more and more each year. This puts agencies in a unique and important position to use that data for good. Whether it be improving government operations, solving some of the nation’s biggest challenges or empowering citizens in new
If you have recently had a baby you’ve likely heard of baby led weaning (BLW). The concept has been around for centuries, but it has become much more popular in the last few years. Baby led weaning is one way to start solids. Basically, it means that baby is allowed
If you’ve got SAS running within your organization, which is likely considering that over 90 percent of the largest global firms have SAS, you’ve probably been hearing a lot about SAS® Viya™, which drives many of the latest enhancements of the SAS platform. But amidst all the talk about microservices
As Hurricane Irma makes its way through the Caribbean, and heads towards the United States, the big question on everyone's mind ... is the hurricane going to hit my city? Or, as some people like to say, "should I buy milk & bread?" Let's analyze & map some data to
Imagínese estar en un centro comercial y que le llegue un mensaje a su celular en el que le digan que pagando con su tarjeta de crédito por los próximos 15 minutos podrá disfrutar de los mejores descuentos del fin de semana en el almacén que tiene al frente, este
Parents, I don’t need to tell you three obvious things: Sleep is critical to our well-being (no matter what age you are). Ask any primary care physician or therapist. Tweens and teens need more sleep than they get (need an average of 9-10 hours, but almost half get fewer than
From June 6 to 9 the first ever ‘Dutch Data Science Week’ took place in the Netherlands. The week consisted of 4 days in which 28 events took place in 6 different locations. During the week people could attend classes ranging from beginner to advanced levels, visit meetups, participate in
International Talk Like a Pirate Day is Sept 19 ... which always gets me thinking and wondering about modern-day pirates. Most movies usually focus on pirates from the Golden Age of piracy (a couple hundred years ago), when pirates typically stole ships and booty (treasure). But modern day pirates usually board
A previous article discussed the mathematical properties of the singular value decomposition (SVD) and showed how to use the SVD subroutine in SAS/IML software. This article uses the SVD to construct a low-rank approximation to an image. Applications include image compression and denoising an image. Construct a grayscale image The
David Loshin explains how to set up a data catalog that will help you get more value from a data lake.
