With the recent addition of custom polygon support in SAS Visual Analytics 8.2, customers wondered if this feature can be utilized to render different types of regional overlays.

The flu seems to be especially potent this year. "How potent is it," you might ask? ... Well, let's plot some data on a map to help find out! Here in the US, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) compiles data about diseases, and provides reports and graphs
금융감독원에 따르면 2017년 상반기 적발된 보험 사기 금액은 전년 동기 대비 6.4% 증가한 3,703억원으로 역대 최고치를 기록했습니다. 또한 보험연구원은 2014년 기준 보험 사기로 인한 누수 금액이 무려 4조5,000억원에 달하는 것으로 발표했는데요. 특히 전문 브로커가 연루되는 등 사기 수법 또한 지능적, 조직적으로 진화함에 따라 보다 체계적인 조사 방식과 분석 시스템의 필요성이 높아지고

Sometimes we social worker types in Work/Life forget that other people don't use phrases like "love languages" with the same ease that the typical SAS employee might talk about "data-driven customer experience." In Work/Life we are kicking off a February series on relationships, so I wanted to take a moment to tell
Have you, or someone you know, gotten the flu this year? Word on the street is that this year's flu might be particularly bad, and the data seem to be corroborating that so far. You don't want to take my word for it? -- well then, let's have a look
I ran across an interesting conundrum the other day. The intent was to compare the value of X to a list of desired values, and if X matched one of the values in the list, set Flag to 1, otherwise set Flag to 0. I wrote and executed this test program,
Enochlophobia. It means “fear of crowds,” and I have it. I wouldn’t be caught dead anywhere near Times Square on New Years’ Eve, and how did I ever endure the stadium-sized rock concerts of my youth? I’m thinking all this as I navigate the sea of people at the National
What is a random number generator? What are the random-number generators in SAS, and how can you use them to generate random numbers from probability distributions? In SAS 9.4M5, you can use the STREAMINIT function to select from eight random-number generators (RNGs), including five new RNGs. After choosing an RNG,
SAS University Edition や SAS OnDemand for Academics は、教育・研究・学習目的に無償で使えるソフトウェアですが、使い方の学習には教材が必要だという方もおられると思います。もちろん、SASはソフトウェアに関する膨大なドキュメントをご用意していますが、「どこから始めたらいいの？」「英語ではちょっと…」という声もあるでしょう。 SAS Japanでは、SAS入門者の方向けに日本語字幕をつけたチュートリアル・ビデオ群をご用意しています。このビデオは、ほとんどが5～10分の短いもので、SASとは何かから始まり、SAS University Edition や SAS OnDemand for Academics のインターフェイスである SAS Studio の解説、他の環境との差、データへのアクセス、データの操作、グラフの作成、基本的な統計解析、時系列分析の手法をサンプルデータを使いながら説明しています。サンプルデータは、標準でSASに付属しているものや、オンラインドキュメントを参考にして作成するものなどがあり、どなたでも、どんな環境でも学習を開始することができます。 これらの SAS Studio の使用法の解説では、主に「タスク」とよばれる機能を用いた操作を行います。「タスク」は、「棒グラフの描画」や「分散分析」などの機能をプログラミングなしで利用するためのインターフェイスで、データやパラメータをマウス等で指定することで、SASのプログラム・コードが自動生成されます。もちろん、SASの機能を最大限引き出すために、ゼロからプログラムを書くことも可能です。自動生成されたプログラムを参考にしながら、SASプログラミングを学習することにも適しています。 実は、これらの日本語字幕付きのビデオは、SASのチュートリアル・ビデオのごく一部で、SAS Video Portal にはより多くのビデオが用意されています。ここでは、SAS製品の紹介や、操作法・プログラミングのチュートリアルに加え、SASのアナリティクスが実際の活用事例を紹介する Analytics in Action ビデオもご覧になれます。音声は英語のみですが、英語や日本語の字幕を表示できるものもあります。まずはビデオから、SASアナリティクスの世界を覗いてみませんか？
