2월의 마지막 주, 전 세계의 정보통신기술(ICT) 업체, 스타트 업, 벤처캐피털(VC)이 스페인 바르셀로나에 모입니다. 바로 2월 26일부터 3월 2일까지 개최되는 세계 최대 모바일 전시회 '2018년 모바일 월드 콩그레스(MWC; Mobile World Congress)' 때문인데요. MWC는 4차 산업혁명의 핵심 기술인 사물인터넷(IoT)이 통신, 도시, 자동차, 제조, 여행, 헬스케어, 에너지, 유통 등 전 산업에 걸쳐 어떻게 세상을 변화시키고 있는지에 대해 확인할 수

Unless you live under a rock, you've probably seen news reports that Russian trolls have been posting on social media to allegedly conduct "what they called information warfare against the United States, with the stated goal of spreading distrust toward the candidates and the political system in general," according to

Survival plots are automatically created by the LIFETEST procedure. These graphs are most often customized to fit the needs of SAS users. One way to create the customized survival plot is to save the generated data from the LIFETEST procedure, and then use the SGPLOT procedure to create your custom

When using conventional methods to access and analyze data sets from Teradata tables, SAS brings all the rows from a Teradata table to SAS Workspace Server. As the number of rows in the table grows over time, it adds to the network latency to fetch the data from a database

予測モデル生成において、従来は、人が考えてデータの中から特徴を抽出する必要がありましたが、ディープラーニングでは、この特徴を自動的に抽出して学習することが可能になっています。 半面、どのように特徴が抽出されているのかに関しては、基本的にはブラックボックスであり、説明責任が求められるような業務要件では、その分析結果を業務に活用することが難しい場合もあります。 しかし、近年ディープラーニングから出てきた結果の根拠=判断根拠を可視化する手法がいくつか考案されてきています。 関連情報サイト: https://qiita.com/icoxfog417/items/8689f943fd1225e24358 https://pair-code.github.io/saliency/ http://blog.brainpad.co.jp/entry/2017/07/10/163000 SAS Viyaでは、各種のディープラーニング(DNN, CNN, RNN)を用いた学習が可能ですが、今回はCNNを用いた画像認識において、判断根拠となり得る情報の出力に関してご紹介します。 この例は、複数のイルカの画像をCNNで学習し、対象の画像(写真)がイルカなのかどうかを判別するものです。 モデルを作成後、以下の画像をモデルに当てはめてスコアリングを実施。 この画像は「イルカ」だと判定されたのですが、その判断根拠の一つとして、以下のように、この画像のどの部分がより重要であると判断されているのかを可視化することが可能になっています。 【レイヤー1のfeature map】 【レイヤー18のfeature map】 SAS Viyaでは、モデルのスコアリング時のオプションとして、指定したレイヤ(層)の特徴マップ(feature map)を画像として指定ライブラリに出力することが可能です。 >> スコアリング用のアクション:”dlScore” の layerOut={出力先ライブラリとテーブル名} オプションと layers={出力対象レイヤ名} オプション >> 上図はライブラリに出力された画像(feature map)を表示したものです。

Your statistical software probably provides a function that computes quantiles of common probability distributions such as the normal, exponential, and beta distributions. Because there are infinitely many probability distributions, you might encounter a distribution for which a built-in quantile function is not implemented. No problem! This article shows how to

It is not laziness—it is efficiency!!! Programmers are often called lazy; we even call ourselves lazy. But we are not lazy, we are just being efficient. It makes no sense to type the same code over and over again or use more keystrokes than are absolutely necessary. Keyboard Macros You

The consumer packaged goods (CPG) and Retail industry are going through a period of significant change. Both retailers and manufacturers are struggling to find growth and improve profitability. One strategy is through consolidation - e.g., Kraft-Heinz, Keurig- Dr Pepper Snapple Group on the manufacturer side, as well as Safeway-Albertsons, Ahold-Delhaize,

How effective is your organization at leveraging data and analytics to power your business models? This question is surprising hard for many organizations to answer. Most organizations lack a roadmap against which they can measure their effectiveness for using data and analytics to optimize key business processes, uncover new business

In this article, I will set out clear principles for how SAS Viya 3.3 will interoperate with Kerberos. My aim is to present some overview concepts for how we can use Kerberos authentication with SAS Viya 3.3. We will look at both SAS Viya 3.3 clients and SAS 9.4M5 clients.

What is Forecast Value Added? Please enhance your Valentine's Day with this treat offered up by the Journal of Business Forecasting. Eric Wilson's very nice discussion of Forecast Value Added, originally published in the Spring 2016 issue of JBF, is now available online: "What is Forecast Value Added?" Eric also

You might have seen a SAS Global Forum infographic floating around the web. And maybe you wondered how you might create something similar using SAS software? If so, then this blog's for you - I have created my own version of the infographic using SAS/Graph, and I'll show you how

When I first learned to program in SAS, I remember being confused about the difference between CLASS statements and BY statements. A novice SAS programmer recently asked when to use one instead of the other, so this article explains the difference between the CLASS statement and BY variables in SAS
