Following is editor Len Tashman's preview of the 2021-Q4 issue of Foresight: The International Journal of Applied Forecasting. Preview of Foresight #63 (2021-Q4) FORESIGHT HALL OF FAME Adopting the idea from other journals that recognize outstanding contributions to the field through best paper awards, we are pleased to announce that
Ao implantar projetos de inteligência analítica os governos enfrentam desafios não vistos no setor privado. Mas se os superarmos, a recompensa será ainda maior. Meu primeiro projeto de Ciência de Dados foi ainda durante minha graduação em Estatística. Embora não tivesse esse nome à época, o objetivo e os meios
Have you ever submitted a stored process, and instead of the expected output, you saw errors or no output at all? Depending on how you submit the stored process, various logs are available to assist you with debugging. This article provides guidance for understanding which situations call for which logs, where to find each log, and what you should look for in each log.
These days, many countries are moving away from coal, and towards natural gas, hydro, wind, and solar as ways to meet their electricity needs. I had heard that some countries still use a lot of coal (especially those countries with large coal deposits), and I was curious which countries use
I'm not sure when it started, but I've had this lifelong situation that began small, I'm sure, and then grew! While I've encouraged it to become a friend, some days it is not. You may ask who or what this friend is. It's a little thing called perfectionism. It can
A genetic algorithm (GA) is a heuristic optimization technique. The method tries to mimic natural selection and evolution by starting with a population of random candidates. Candidates are evaluated for "fitness" by plugging them into the objective function. The characteristics of the better candidates are combined to create a new
In this Q&A with MIT/SMR Connections, Iain Brown, SAS’s head of data science for the United Kingdom and Ireland, discusses some key risks, ethical issues, and platform questions that organizations should consider before adopting AI and takes a quick look at current and emerging AI trends. Q: In your view,

If you’ve switched on the news recently, you’ll have noticed how the words “supply chain” have now become part of Britain’s everyday vocabulary. From fuel shortages at petrol stations to the terrifying prospect of a Christmas turkey shortage, we’ve suddenly become aware of how precarious our society is, and how
The social and economic impact of COVID-19 has dramatically affected supply chains and demand planning across all industries. Then there’s the Amazon effect, which has led to sky-high consumer expectations of the ordering and delivery process. Demand planners for retailers and consumer goods companies have quickly realized they have no
SAS' Bahar Biller, an operations researcher, details how to develop a supply chain digital twin.
This article uses an example to introduce to genetic algorithms (GAs) for optimization. It discusses two operators (mutation and crossover) that are important in implementing a genetic algorithm. It discusses choices that you must make when you implement these operations. Some programmers love using genetic algorithms. Genetic algorithms are heuristic
Recently, the news has been all abuzz about William Shatner traveling into space. This was a cool event because he's the oldest person who has traveled into space (at 90 years old) ... and he was also the iconic Captain Kirk from the original Star Trek television series. This got
Com as grandes mudanças provocadas pela crescente digitalização durante a pandemia, os players da indústria de telecomunicações que buscam se reinventar recorrem a análises avançadas para se adaptar a um ambiente de negócios dinâmico e encontrar novas fontes de receita. As operadoras conseguiram responder adequadamente ao aumento substancial das necessidades
전 세계적으로 기후변화 대응과 지속가능발전을 위한 금융기관의 역할이 강조되고 있습니다. 이를 위한 금융기관의 노력을 지원하기 위해 SAS는 딜로이트와 함께 지난 10월, 금융권 기후 리스크 관리를 위한 ESG 세미나를 개최했습니다. 그 중 일부를 소개합니다. 금융기관이 기후 리스크를 관리해야 하는 이유 기후 리스크는 크게 물리적 리스크와 전이 리스크로 구분됩니다. 물리적 리스크는 농업에
