While some machine learning models – like decision trees – are transparent, the majority of models used today – like deep neural networks, random forests, gradient boosting
Artificial intelligence often seems misunderstood, especially in fraud. The same is true of machine learning. One of the amazing things about them is they ask the unasked questions. This occurs as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) go about their daily work. So, what is the unasked question? Too

A useful feature in PROC SGPLOT is the ability to easily visualize subgroups of data. Most statements in the SGPLOT procedure support a GROUP= option that enables you to overlay plots of subgroups. When you use the GROUP= option, observations are assigned attributes (colors, line patterns, symbols, ...) that indicate
Vor ein paar Wochen hat das erste deutsche SAS User Group Meetup in Berlin stattgefunden. Dort hatte ich die Gelegenheit, mit Igor Khorlo, Senior Statistical Programmer bei Syneos Health Deutschland und Gründer der SAS User Group Germany (SUGG), über seine Motivation zu sprechen, die Gruppe ins Leben zu rufen –
