We hear a lot about how various industries are using data visualization and analytics. But what about the education industry? The institutional research office (IR) at universities is the center for data, reports and analytics and provides decision makers with information about the university. The IR teams are working on

사물인터넷(IoT)이 보험사의 운영 방식은 물론 보험 가입자 개개인의 삶의 방식을 변화시키면서 보험 업계에 새로운 세계가 열렸습니다. 기술이 더욱 더 스마트해지고 연결되면서 예방 가능한 비즈니스 모델로 빠르게 전환되고 있는데요. 사물인터넷 시대에 적응하지 못하는 보험사는 새로운 진입자 그리고 새로운 생태계 및 시장 수요에 성공적으로 대응한 기업들에 밀려 토이저러스(Toys R Us)와 같은 신세를 피하기 힘들

Our company talks to utilities all over the world about the value of analytics. We help utility executives understand what the "digital utility company" looks like and share use cases to illustrate how these companies are using analytics across: assets and operations; customers; portfolio, and corporate operations (see diagram below).

The Authoritative Feeding Style is considered the gold standard when it comes to feeding children (read more about feeding styles in our last post). This approach is simply summed up as love with limits, meaning you are a coach and teacher, firm yet understanding and considerate. However, with a

This article describes how to obtain an initial guess for nonlinear regression models, especially nonlinear mixed models. The technique is to first fit a simpler fixed-effects model by replacing the random effects with their expected values. The parameter estimates for the fixed-effects model are often good initial guesses for the

In May the Work/Life Team set out with questions for Global Employee Health and Fitness Month. If you answered a question, you got bubbles. Yes, bubbles for adults! They are a great reminder to stop and take a deep breath. Now, I can't inter-office you bubbles if you answer these

Para desarrollar nuestra inteligencia, los seres humanos tenemos que aprender. Comenzamos por percibir el entorno, perfeccionar nuestras capacidades de comunicación (hablar, leer, transmitir pensamientos abstractos) y absorber una gran cantidad de conocimientos a medida que crecemos. La máquinas y computadoras siguen un camino parecido. Para que Siri o Alexa, por

I have lived in the Town of Cary for more than twenty years; two of my three children were born at the local WakeMed Cary Hospital. I’m a big fan of my city, or town as it prefers to be called – even though the population is over 160,000. That’s

One of my favorite Eddie Murphy movies when I was growing up was Coming to America. And speaking of coming to America, there's been a lot in the news recently about people doing just that. So I thought I'd use my SAS skills to help people wanting to come to

It seems only a few months back I posted an article on creating Pie Charts using a GTL based macro. Well, looking back, that was almost 6 years ago!! Recently, a colleague here at SAS needed to create Pie Charts in his report along with other plots created using SGPLOT

Una sucursal bancaria y un campo de fútbol. Un contragolpe y una compra de cartera. Los nuevos banqueros y las estrellas nacientes del balompié. Parecen palabras apenas puestas juntas, elementos de dos mundos muy diferentes, comparaciones imposibles. Sin embargo, durante la 4ª Convención Latinoamericana de Analítica organizada por SAS en

Joyce Norris-Montanari talks about how to implement data privacy policies, procedures and guidelines.

Retailers don’t need to be reminded about the importance of customer experience. It’s critical – and that’s been true since the dawn of retail. But the nature of that experience has been changing at a rapid clip in recent years, due in large part to well-documented shifts in technology and

When you fit nonlinear fixed-effect or mixed models, it is difficult to guess the model parameters that fit the data. Yet, most nonlinear regression procedures (such as PROC NLIN and PROC NLMIXED in SAS) require that you provide a good guess! If your guess is not good, the fitting algorithm,

La economía digital surgió a raíz del avance de la tecnología en la informática y las telecomunicaciones. El último Modelo de Gestión de Riesgos de Seguridad Digital entregado por el Ministerio de Tecnologías de la Información y las Comunicaciones -MinTIC-, afirma que en los últimos 20 años el acceso a
