Authors: Jennifer Hargrove and Ruth Baldasaro As technology continues to evolve rapidly, ethically centered model design is becoming increasingly important. In this post, we provide a brief overview of SAS Models and describe how all SAS models are built using SAS’ core principles for responsible innovation. SAS Models are built
While researching a topic in probability, I encountered a special mathematical function that I had not previously known about. The function is called Owen's T function (Owen, 1956, Ann. Math. Stat.). It is useful for computing multivariate probabilities, for defining the skew-normal distribution, and for computing probabilities associated with certain
Decisioning is now core to how marketers compete.

This post familiarizes a practitioner with LLMs, SLMs, and VLMs as well as serving as a field guide for navigating this rapidly evolving terrain.
I write a lot of Monte Carlo simulations. This article discusses how to assess whether two independent Monte Carlo estimates are close to each other. This result can be used to test the correctness of a Monte Carlo simulation. It can also be used to compare different Monte Carlo algorithms
