We'll take a deeper dive into understanding item stores--the files in which compiled templates are stored--and ways in which you can access them. At the end, I will show you one of my new examples: displaying percentages in the Kaplan-Meier failure plot.
노벨상의 유래 매년 10월 초, 전 세계의 이목이 스웨덴과 노르웨이로 쏠립니다. 바로 세계에서 가장 권위 있는 시상식 '노벨상(The Nobel Prize)'이 열리기 때문인데요. 노벨상은 다이너마이트를 발명해 거대 재벌이 된 스웨덴 화학자 알프레드 노벨(Alfred Nobel)의 유언에 따라 그가 남긴 재산으로 노벨 재단을 설립하며 시작됐습니다. 최초의 노벨상은 1901년 물리학, 화학, 생리학 및 의학, 세계

De hecho, como parte de la agenda de países desarrollados en la que las organizaciones privadas y entidades públicas se diferencian, hace más eficientes sus labores y ayuda a alcanzar nuevos niveles de éxito con una combinación de gestión de
Esta es una historia típica en la solución de problemas en las industrias de cualquier giro, con una solución que todos han escuchado, pero no lo aplican por falta de información. Hoy conocerá a SAS VIYA, el complemento perfecto que lo introducirá en un mundo completamente nuevo de analítica para
Blockchain technology and payment integrity in health care Blockchain technology has arrived in the health care space, bringing anticipation of revolutionary change in operational efficiency, data management, security, fraud prevention, disease prevention, and perhaps even in payments. While these are not new goals, I am ever the optimist. As almost
When I shared a status update a few months ago that I would spend my Sunday morning "trying to solve an asymmetric prize-collecting traveling salesman problem with uncertain data and side constraints" my colleagues knew that I wouldn't be working.

The whites of her eyes turning yellow was the first sign that something was wrong. After working in a neonatal intensive
As a SAS Viya user, you may be wondering whether it is possible to execute data append and data update concurrently to a global Cloud Analytic Services (CAS) table from two or more CAS sessions. (Learn more about CAS.) How would this impact the report view while data append or
Any look back at analytics in 2017 makes it clear that machine learning and artificial intelligence appear to be the ‘next big things’ that can solve just about any problem, from writing new hit songs to curing disease. Not one to buy into the hype, I became curious as to
Did you know that a SAS/IML function can recover from a run-time error? You can specify how to handle run-time errors by using a programming technique that is similar to the modern "try-catch" technique, although the SAS/IML technique is an older implementation. Preventing errors versus handling errors In general, SAS/IML
In the previous post, I discussed creating a 2D grid of spark lines by Year and Claim Type. This graph was presented in the SESUG conference held last week on SAS campus in the paper ""Methods for creating Sparklines using SAS" by Rick Andrews. This grid of sparklines was actually the
As the banking industry continues to combat increasing fraud challenges, payment fraud is growing exponentially. This growth stems from a shifting payment landscape with new and varied payment options. Globally, governments are introducing new initiatives like faster payments and real-time payments which compress turnaround times. These initiatives are altering the
SAS Visual Analytics 7.4 has added the support for date parameters. Recall from my first post, Using parameters in SAS Visual Analytics, a parameter is a variable whose value can be changed at any time by the report viewer and referenced by other report objects. These objects can be a
