Remember when the popular catchphrase, “We have an app for that,” was the new big thing? You might not if you’re as young as the NC State University students who recently participated in the 11th annual SAS-NC State Design Project, but back when we could still count 21st-century years in
Skeletal muscle is important for so many reasons beyond movement or aesthetics. Muscle is a vital part of our metabolic and overall health, playing a key role in how we control glucose, insulin, energy levels and longevity.
A SAS programmer wanted to visualize density estimate for some univariate data. The data had several groups, so he wanted to create a panel of density estimate, which you can easily do by using PROC SGPANEL in SAS. However, the programmer's boss wanted to see filled density estimates, such as
Generative AI (GenAI) is in its most popular era and many organisations across industry are looking for ways to unlock its potential value. McKinsey's projections suggest that GenAI could add a staggering $2.6 to $4.4 trillion in value to the global economy. In fact, banking is the number one industry
Across the world, investigators and law enforcement officers are tackling a rapidly evolving and expanding workload fueled by an increase in complex modern-day crimes. As technology alters the type and methodology of the crime itself – the evasion of tax payments, theft of public funds, erroneous disbursement of benefits, gaming
Our employees’ health and well-being is important to us, so we make sure that they – and their families – have access to facilities and programs promoting fitness, wellness and recreation. That’s why our headquarters campus has 28 acres dedicated to the physical fitness of employees (and that doesn’t include
After writing a program that simulates data, it is important to check that the statistical properties of the simulated (synthetic) data match the properties of the model. As a first step, you can generate a large random sample from the model distribution and compare the sample statistics to the expected
Imagine stuffing a 500,000-square-foot event space into a 5,000-square-foot hallway. That was the crazy idea I had when I checked out the Innovation Hub. The Innovation Hub was the center of the action at SAS Innovate in Las Vegas. Attendees saw demos of the hottest new SAS solutions, met the technical
桜が散ったと思うと、いつの間にかツツジの季節がやってきた。ツツジは、4月中旬から5月中旬にかけて咲く、日本で最も親しまれている植物の一つであり、桜の散る頃から北海道から沖縄まで全国各地の様々な場所で楽しめる花でもある。歴史的には、徳川家のツツジ好きもあって江戸幕府が植栽に力を入れ、大名たちの間で庭園づくりブームが起きたとか。 さて、統計学のコースだが、多くの良質な書籍やコンテンツがあり、感心するものも多いが、しかし、入門としては物足りなさを否めない。特に、「社会人のための・・・」をうたったコースにおいては、統計学を長年体系的に勉強した者として、大学（統計学部）の授業のようなものが多く一般人にはレベルが高い印象を受ける。また、日本独自の事情やニーズに合った教材が必要ではないかと思う。 前述したツツジのように統計学が日本中に広まってほしい、データリテラシーの底上げに貢献したいという気持ちから、「統計学入門」コースを新設した。このコースは、統計の勉強をしたことがない社会人向けに分かりやすく統計の基礎を解説し、かつ実務へのつながりを意識した質問、例を盛り込むことで、統計学の概念の定着につながるように構成している。実務に統計学がどのように活用されているのかなどをより意識したコース内容となっている。また、本コースはSAS製品を使用していない方でも受講可能である。この機会にぜひ受講を検討いただきたい。 2024年5月初旬 相吉

Has your organization invested in a customer data platform (CDP) only to find that it's not living up to its promise? You're not alone. In fact, Digiday reports that only 10% of marketers who have a CDP believe it’s fit for purpose while an even smaller amount (1%) feel certain
A SAS programmer was trying to implement an algorithm in PROC IML in SAS based on some R code he had seen on the internet. The R code used the rank() and order() functions. This led the programmer to ask, "What is the different between the rank and the order?
As a child therapist, and as a parent, I believe in the power of bibliotherapy. Reading about worries, social challenges, and big life changes is one of the most effective strategies to help your child learn about and cope with their feelings. May is Mental Health Awareness Month and reading
