If the answer is yes then you’re definitely not alone. Whilst most organisations today recognise the benefit of analytics and data science, many are still struggling to kick
In a previous article, I showed how to use SAS to perform mean imputation. However, there are three problems with using mean-imputed variables in statistical analyses: Mean imputation reduces the variance of the imputed variables. Mean imputation shrinks standard errors, which invalidates most hypothesis tests and the calculation of confidence
With SAS Data Management, you can setup SAS Data Remediation to manage and correct data issues. SAS Data Remediation allows user- or role-based access to data exceptions. Last time I talked about how to register and use a Data Remediation service. This time we will look at how to use
Finding a pattern like a phone number or national ID number embedded in text can be difficult and time consuming.

Cintas icónicas de la época
In my previous post, I described a new options to control the widths of the caps for Whiskers, Error and Limit bars. This topic could have been titled "Little things go a long way", as such details really make for a good graph. In a similar manner, another detail issue
The internet is rich with data, and much of that data seems to exist only on web pages, which -- for some crazy reason -- are designed for humans to read. When students/researchers want to apply data science techniques to analyze collect and analyze that data, they often turn to
데이터 매니지먼트가 중요한 이유 우리는 지금 데이터가 사회와 경제를 움직이는 ‘데이터 이코노미’ 시대에서 살고 있다. 시장조사업체 IDC는 전 세계 데이터 양은 매년 약 30% 증가해 2025년에는 현재보다 10배 늘어난 163제타바이트(ZB)에 이를 것으로 전망했다. 이처럼 폭증하는 빅데이터를 가트너(Gartner)에서는 ‘21세기 원유’로 규정하기까지 했다. 하지만 이제는 빅데이터를 단순한 ‘콘텐츠’가 아닌 ‘프로세스’와 ‘인프라’ 관점에서
During my 35 years of using SAS® software, I have found the CNTLIN and CNTLOUT options in the FORMAT procedure to be among the most useful features that I routinely suggest to other SAS users. The CNTLIN option enables you to create user-defined formats from a SAS data set (input
Imputing missing data is the act of replacing missing data by nonmissing values. Mean imputation replaces missing data in a numerical variable by the mean value of the nonmissing values. This article shows how to perform mean imputation in SAS. It also presents three statistical drawbacks of mean imputation. How
