For the past several years, efforts have been under way to recruit more women into the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) fields. I recently saw an interesting graph showing the percentage of bachelor's degrees conferred to women in the US, and I wondered if I could tweak that graph
I started my training in machine learning at the University of Tennessee in the late 1980s. Of course, we didn’t call it machine learning then, and we didn’t call ourselves data scientists yet either. We used terms like statistics, analytics, data mining and data modeling. Regardless of what you call
Artificial intelligence promises to transform society on the scale of the industrial, technical, and digital revolutions before it. Machines that can sense, reason and act will accelerate solutions to large-scale problems in myriad of fields, including science, finance, medicine and education, augmenting human capability and helping us to go further,
By now most of us have heard about grass-fed beef and dairy, but you may still be confused about what that really means and if the benefits are worth the extra cost. First let me point out that “organic” has nothing to do with whether an animal product is grass
I recently showed how to compute a bootstrap percentile confidence interval in SAS. The percentile interval is a simple "first-order" interval that is formed from quantiles of the bootstrap distribution. However, it has two limitations. First, it does not use the estimate for the original data; it is based only
This post presents some basic aspects of ODS Graphics: enabling, selecting, and displaying graphs.
Carbon Dioxide ... CO2. Humans breathe out 2.3 pounds of it per day. It's also produced when we burn organic materials & fossil fuels (such as coal, oil, and natural gas). Plants use it for photosynthesis, which in turn produces oxygen. It is also a greenhouse gas, which many claim
I don't have a big vacation planned this summer. Don't feel sorry for me... I am going to Germany for a week in October and on Friday I leave for my second weekend at the beach. I have recently been reading about what makes a vacation "restorative". There is some cool
Everyone is talking about artificial intelligence (AI). In fact, many SAS customers who've been using our analytics capabilities for years or even decades are asking: What can we do with AI? What exactly is AI from a software perspective? How can we infuse cognitive computing into our customer interactions and on the customer
Contrario a lo que se podría pensar, el dinero público es finito. Y cuando los recursos y los presupuestos son limitados, se debe asegurar que éstos se destinen a los servicios que requieren los ciudadanos. De ahí que sea sumamente importante prevenir el fraude, los errores y el abuso que
In SAS Viya 3.2, SAS Visual Data Builder provides a mechanism for performing simple, self-service data preparation tasks for SAS Visual Analytics or other applications. SAS Visual Data Builder is NOT an Extract, Transform and Load (ETL) or data quality tool. You may still need one of those tools to
Die (technologische) Veränderung kommt… und sie kommt schnell. Digitalisierung ist nicht mehr nur „in aller Munde“, sondern inzwischen in den Unternehmen angekommen. Das zeigte das SAS Forum Deutschland 2017, das am 29. Juni im World Conference Center in Bonn stattfand und das rund 1.200 Teilnehmer besuchten und etwa ebenso viele
Joyce Norris-Montanari explains why it's so important to pick the right tools to manage your big data.
I previously wrote about how to compute a bootstrap confidence interval in Base SAS. As a reminder, the bootstrap method consists of the following steps: Compute the statistic of interest for the original data Resample B times from the data to form B bootstrap samples. B is usually a large
La 3ª Convención Latinoamericana de Analítica de SAS se convirtió en el lugar en el que confluyeron las mejores historias de transformación basada en analítica. La gran conclusión de este evento, realizado en Bogotá y que contó con la participación de más de 300 C-Levels y expertos, es que los
