Are you looking for a specific CAS action to use in your project? Maybe you need to create a linear or logistic regression and can't seem to find the CAS action? In this post in the Getting Started with Python Integration to SAS® Viya® series, we are going to look
In May, I joined several SAS colleagues, academics, clinicians, pharmaceutical companies, and other information and technology specialists for the first-ever IMI PIONEER Hackathon for prostate cancer research. A few weeks later, as I watched the SpaceX launch on TV, it occurred to me that space trips and cancer research have
In the second post of the Getting Started with Python Integration to SAS® Viya® series we will learn about Working with CAS Actions and CASResults Objects. CAS actions are commands sent to the CAS server to run a task, and CASResults objects contain information returned from the CAS server. This
If you're my kids, the term, “continuous integration,” might have you thinking about how much time you’ve spent lately with the family, and “continuous delivery” is what's been happening on the front porch the past few weeks. But to a software developer, these terms mean something entirely different. Combined and
Your journey could look very different to mine, but I think as long as you’re curious, you’re on the right track!
The COVID-19 pandemic challenged agriculture and supply chains, but the overarching resilience of agriculture around the world speaks to the industry's efficiency, built-in redundancy and indispensability. In the US, flourishing interactions between government, industry and academic stakeholders underscore how ag represents unity and consilience. And there may be no better
Written by Allison Hines and Kara Roberts During this global pandemic, we’ve seen SAS employees band together, while staying apart. We know that there’s strength in numbers, and amazing things happen when we all bring our unique skills and abilities to the table. We’re proud of the creative ways our employees are giving back, like making masks and preparing food for their communities. Keep reading
With increasing interest in Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD), many SAS Users want to know what can be done for Visual Analytics reports. In this article, I will explain how to use Python and SAS Viya REST APIs to extract a report from a SAS Viya environment and import it into another environment.
Forecasting is a daunting task during normal conditions, and even more so during a disruption. But in times of greatest stress our smartest and most creative people stand out, and our true leaders emerge. You'll find these kinds of leaders among my colleagues at SAS -- smart and creative people
Welcome to the first post for the Getting Started with Python Integration to SAS Viya series! With the popularity of the Python programming language for data analysis and SAS Viya's ability to integrate with Python, I thought, why not create tutorials for users integrating the two? To begin the series
SAS Global Forum 2020 is not the conference experience we thought it would be. Thousands of us had planned to gather in person to share our enthusiasm and knowledge about SAS and power of data and analytics. We were going to combine our skills and knowledge to inspire one another
As a long-time SAS 9 programmer, I typically accomplish my data preparation tasks through some combination of the DATA Step, Proc SQL, Proc Transpose and some housekeeping procs like Proc Contents and Proc Datasets. With the introduction of SAS Viya, SAS released a new scripting language called CASL – a
Mathematical optimization can help business leaders make better decisions in every aspect of their business. After a model has been built, end users are usually interested in doing some sort of scenario analysis to test its robustness and visualizing key performance metrics. SAS has various products that can work with
SAS' Leonid Batkhan shows you how to automate creation of SAS variable labels so tables and reports are easier to read.
Stored processes were a very popular feature in SAS 9.4. They were used in reporting, analytics and web application development. In Viya, the equivalent feature is jobs. Using jobs the same way as stored processes was enhanced in Viya 3.5. In addition, there is preliminary support for promoting 9.4 stored processes to Viya. In this post, I will examine what is sure to be a popular feature for SAS 9.4 users starting out with Viya.
Jim Harris explains the relevance of DevOps, DataOps and ModelOps for data analytics practitioners.
SAS' Kris Stobbe shows how you can predict survival rates of Titanic passengers with a combination of both Python and CAS using SWAT, then see how the models performed.
This post describes a fully automated validation pipeline for analytical models as part of an analytical platform, which has been set up recently as part of a customer project.
Let us now take a look at a well-known metaphor for test case development in the software industry. We are referring to the idea of the “test pyramid."
In total, there are four posts in this blog series, this is the first post describing some basic principles of the DevOps (or ModelOps) approach.
While Brexit has distracted us for the past few years, a far more subtle but important revolution has been happening right under our noses. Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a crucial part of our day-to-day. Self-learning machines are embedded in services or devices used by three-quarters of global consumers. And
How do you convince busy IT integration partners to take a deep dive into new technology without asking them to also first sell a solution to a client? After all, time is money for implementation partners. At SAS, we are keen to introduce our partners and, through them, more clients
Meet Stefan Stoyanov. He’s an MSc Business Analytics student with a passion for emerging technologies, ranging from artificial intelligence to augmented and virtual reality.
AI innovations range from unique modelling techniques and computer vision efforts to medical diagnostic tools and self-driving cars. Within that wide range of technology, what should you consider patenting? Which of your discoveries are true intellectual property that necessitate protection? A little thought upfront could help you to know what
As I get older, a few of my buddies are starting to retire. And this makes me think about my own retirement (not that I'm anywhere near old enough to retire, mind you!) Therefore when I saw a list of the "Best & Worst Cities for Retiring" it caught my
概要 第一回の「CASサーバーとSWATパッケージ」に続き、第二回としてCASのアクションセットの活用やCASサーバーへのデータ読み込みなどの基本操作の方法について紹介します。 アクションセットについて CASサーバー上での分析作業を開始する前に、“アクションセット”という重要な概念に関して紹介します。 アクションセットは、関連する機能を実行するアクションの論理的なグループです。 SAS Viyaでは、関数のことを「アクション」、関連する関数のグループを「アクションセット」と呼んでいます。アクションでは、サーバーのセットアップに関する情報を返したり、データをロードしたり、高度な分析を実行するなど、さまざまな処理を実行できます。 アクションセットを使ってみましょう それでは、サンプルコードを使いながら、SAS Viyaのアクションセットでデータの読み込みからプロットまでの一連の操作を説明します。 ・データの読み込み CASサーバーにデータを読み込むには二つの方法があります。一つはread.csv()でcsvファイルをRデータフレームの形で読み込んだ上で、as.casTable()を使用する方法です。この関数はデータをRのデータフレームからCASテーブルにアップロードすることができます。今回の例では金融関連のサンプルデータhmeqを使って紹介します。 library("swat") conn <- CAS(server, port, username, password, protocol = "http") hmeq_data <- read.csv(“hmeq.csv”) hmeq_cas <- as.casTable(conn, hmeq) もう一つはcas.read.csv()を使って、ローカルからファイルを読み込んで、そのままCASサーバーにアップロードする方法です。仕組みとしては、一つ目の方法と大きくは変わりません。 hmeq_cas <- cas.read.csv(conn, hmeq) as.casTable()或いはcas.read.csv()からの出力はCASTableオブジェクトです。その中に、接続情報、作成されたテーブルの名前、テーブルが作成されたcaslib（CASライブラリ）、およびその他の情報が含まれます。 Rのattributes()関数を使えば中身を確認できます。 attributes(hmeq_cas) $conn CAS(hostname=server, port=8777, username=user, session=ca2ed63c-0945-204b-b4f3-8f6e82b133c0, protocol=http) $tname [1] "IRIS" $caslib [1] "CASUSER(user)"
SAS Model Studio lets modelers use SAS alongside open source to create and compare models in a pipeline and project. Debugging, model comparison, and visual pipelines are included.
Data scientists naturally use a lot of machine learning algorithms, which work well for detecting patterns, automating simple tasks, generalizing responses and other data heavy tasks. As a subfield of computer science, machine learning evolved from the study of pattern recognition and computational learning theory in artificial intelligence. Over time, machine learning has borrowed from many
Bringing the power of SAS to your Python scripts can be a game changer. An easy way to do that is by using SASPy, a Python interface to SAS allowing Python developers to use SAS® procedures within Python. However, not all SAS procedures are included in the SASPy library. So,
