As the old saying goes, the only constant is change. The corollary that I’ll add is this: and the pace of change feels like it's directly proportional to Moore’s Law. Utilities used to be favorites for conservative investors. Smooth. Steady. When there was change, it was incremental. But today, uncertainty
This is a guest blog by Hayden Dawes, LCSW, LCAS-A, as part of the Work/Life February Relationships Series. We offer our sincere thanks to Hayden for volunteering to contribute! As we head into Valentine's week of 2018, I am struck at the differences as to how children and adults typically celebrate
Want to see my newly minted certified professional badge? Scroll down to take a peek. Yes, I managed to successfully complete the Base SAS Programmer certification exam… with, ahem, flying colors I might add. Here are my tips to tackle the Base SAS certification exam: 1. Get clear on the
우리 모두가 개인 비서의 도움을 받는 세상, 상상이 가시나요? 어쩌면 빠르게 다가올지도 모르겠습니다. 바로 가상 비서, 챗봇 기술의 발전 덕분인데요! 챗봇(chatbot)은 채팅(chatting)과 로봇(robot)의 합성어로 자연어 처리(NLP; Natural Language Processing)와 인공지능(AI)을 이용해 사람과의 대화를 시뮬레이션하고 응답을 도출하는 컴퓨터 프로그램입니다. 쉽게 말해 사람의 이야기에 알맞은 답이나 정보를 제공할 수 있는 기계죠. 단순하고 자동화된 작업을 처리할
In my last article, I worked with an example of using custom polygon data to create a regional geo map in SAS Visual Analytics 7.4. In this article, I will use almost the same example to illustrate the ease of implementing custom polygons to produce the same regional map in
By default, SAS Visual Analytics 7.4 supports country and state level polygons for regional geomaps. In SAS Visual Analytics 7.4, custom shape files are now supported, as well. This means that if a site has their own custom polygon data that defines custom regions, it’s possible to create a region
Jim Harris considers the technical infrastructure challenges of data preparation for streaming data.
With Valentine’s Day just a week away, many of you might already be thinking about the treats that tend to come along with this holiday. Whether or not you celebrate Valentine’s Day, we all love a little special treat now and then. While I don’t believe that you have to
If N random people are in a room, the classical birthday problem provides the probability that at least two people share a birthday. The birthday problem does not consider how many birthdays are in common. However, a generalization (sometimes called the Multiple-Birthday Problem) examines the distribution of the number of
Imaginemos lo que se podría hacer si pudiésemos entrar en la mente de un comprador y conocer a detalle sus gustos, patrones de compra y estados de ánimo. Y a partir de esa información presentarle de inmediato productos y ofertas que satisfagan sus necesidades y se adecuen a su estilo
In an earlier blog, I asked you to participate in CertMag/GoCertify’s Annual IT Salary survey. The response was fantastic and I’m happy to report that we made the list of the Top 75 IT certifications out of more than 900. This marks the first time SAS has been part of
Jazz up your Geo Map or Network Analysis graph by applying icon-based display rule markers instead of color markers on the map. With SAS Visual Analytics, you may have already used display rules by populating intervals or adding color-mapped values for report objects. Now, you can jazz up your Geo
Next week I am offering a lunch-and-learn called "Successfully Single: In and out of relationships", but I think I should have titled it "Attractiveness and Self-investment". I am not sure how many people want to be "successfully single", particularly this month when our collective attention is focused on love and
A dual response axis chart is useful when the data type for the multiple measures are not compatible. For example, when overlaying measures like "This Year" sales with "Last Year" sales, the format and magnitudes of the two measures (or values for two groups) may be compatible, and it is
This article simulates the birthday-matching problem in SAS. The birthday-matching problem (also called the birthday problem or birthday paradox) answers the following question: "if there are N people in a room, what is the probability that at least two people share a birthday?" The birthday problem is famous because the
