Antes de vir para o SAS, nosso Head de vendas para contas estratégicas, atuava em grandes bancos, como Santander e Bradesco. Foi quando Vitor Vicente se aprofundou em temas relacionados ao SAS, como CRM analítico, gestão de risco, entre outros. Na época, ele sonhava em trabalhar no SAS e, em
Synthetic data generation, as its name suggests, is one component of generative AI. With this technology, marketers can generate artificial data sets that share the attributes and characteristics of real customer data. As marketers continue to expand their use of both traditional AI and GenAI, synthetic data generation reduces the
It is estimated that over 2 million new cases of cancer will be diagnosed in the US this year. Over 40% of those cases could be prevented through lifestyle changes. The foods and beverages that we consume on a regular basis can either increase or decrease our risk for cancer.

Casey Hensley, HR Business Partner, experienced this support firsthand as she and her husband
A previous article discusses the MakeString function, which you can use to convert an IML character vector into a string. This can be very useful. When I originally wrote the MakeString function, I was disappointed that I could not vectorize the computation. Recently, I learned about the COMBL function in
Decisores em diversas indústrias já sabem que a implantação de grandes projetos de analytics, IA e dados tem se tornado cada vez mais estratégica para o sucesso dos negócios.

SAS' Jennifer Hargrove introduces the SAS Medication Adherence Risk model, a way to identify patients at high risk of being non-adherent to their medication therapy so that interventions can be provided to help patients remain adherent.
It’s no surprise that MarTech in 2024 seemed to be dominated by GenAI, GenAI and … more GenAI. Perhaps this is a bit of an exaggeration, but you can’t deny this topic was a headliner in the MarTech space, along with AI and customer data platforms. Here are my top
In the SAS 9.4 world, SAS Stored Processes (STP) were incredibly popular. An STP is a SAS program that is stored on a server and can be executed as required by requesting applications. On SAS 9.4, they were widely used for web reporting, analytics, building web applications, delivering packages to customers and publishing results to channels or repositories.
As we move into 2025, AI continues to transform industries in unprecedented ways, driving efficiency, innovation, and productivity. But with this rapid advancement come critical ethical questions. How can we ensure that AI systems protect the rights and well-being of individuals? Manufacturing and agriculture are two essential industries where answering
When the SAS Global Forum 2020 conference was cancelled by the global COVID-19 pandemic, I felt sorry for the customers and colleagues who had spent months preparing their presentations. One presentation I especially wanted to attend was by Bucky Ransdell and Randy Tobias: "Introducing PROC SIMSYSTEM for Systematic Nonnormal Simulation".
En la era de la transformación digital, la velocidad, la escalabilidad y la rentabilidad no son solo indicadores de desempeño; son factores decisivos que permiten a las empresas mantenerse competitivas.

Sin embargo, gestionarlos de manera eficiente y convertirlos en información valiosa sigue siendo un desafío. Una buena gestión de datos es esencial para garantizar resultados confiables, éticos y libres de sesgos; que a su
A previous article shows a simulation of two different models of a foraging animal. The first model is a random walk, which assumes that the animal chooses a random direction, then takes a step that is distributed according to a Gaussian random variable. In the second model, the animal again
秋の風物詩であるキンモクセイ（金木犀）は、オレンジ色のフルーティで甘い香りが特徴で、英名はまさしく「フレラント・オリーブ（Fragrant olive）」。香りを楽しむには朝がおすすめで、酵素が活発になるため香りが強くなるそう。ぜひ通勤・通学時に香ってほしい。 キンモクセイはすべて国から持ち込まれた雄株のみで増やしたクローンなので、通常の植物と違って、同じ地域では一斉に開花する。サクラの場合とは逆に、キンモクセイの開花は寒くなる地域から徐々に、東北から九州に向かって進んでいく。ちなみに北海道と沖縄には挿し木がないらしい。 さて、今春のサクラの開花が暖冬で約1週間遅れたのに続き、今秋のキンモクセイも平年より遅れ気味の開花。これは夏が長引いたのが影響しているはずである。実際に10月の平均気温を見ると、関東や近畿は平年より高め、中国地方や九州北部は平年並み、ということで関東や近畿で開花が遅れているとみている。 サクラの開花予測には積算気温が用いられるが（春になると回帰分析を思いだす）、キンモクセイも高温が続くと遅れるため、同様の指標が考えられる。より精緻な統計モデルで予測することも可能である。おくれじとキンモクセイの香りに浸りながら、開花日を予測してみたい。 住宅価格や企業の売上予測においても、ローン支払いの不履行の可能性を見通すにしても、因果解析の手法が用いられる。11～12月は、線形回帰、ロジスティック回帰、生存時間など因果解析のコースがオンパレード（トレーニングコース詳細とスケジュール | SAS）、興味があれば受講してみるのも良いだろう。 2024年11月初旬 相吉
