Finding time to make a home cooked breakfast can be tough…really tough! Especially when you’re bleary-eyed, trying to make sure your socks match and get out of the door on time. And as much as many of us love a warm bowl of tender, creamy and delicious steel cut oats,
At SAS Global Forum last week, I saw a poster that used SAS/IML to optimized a quadratic objective function that arises in financial portfolio management (Xia, Eberhardt, and Kastin, 2017). The authors used the Newton-Raphson optimizer (NLPNRA routine) in SAS/IML to optimize a hypothetical portfolio of assets. The Newton-Raphson algorithm
La detección de fraudes actualmente radica en la capacidad de observar grandes volúmenes de datos (devoluciones Fiscales) y reconocer patrones en ellos. Una sola devolución de impuestos que reclama el Crédito por Ingresos del Trabajo podría no parecer sospechosa, sin embargo, si 1,500 devoluciones solicitando el crédito son presentadas por

With the advent of things like car GPS & Google Maps, and a steady supply of nice maps from certain news sources (such as the New York Times), people have finally embraced the idea that mapping data can be very useful. And if you are into data visualization, you have
You can expand on the functionality of SAS Visual Data Builder in SAS Visual Analytics by editing the query code, adding code for pre- and post-processing, or even writing your own query. You can process single tables or join multiple tables, writing the output to a LASR library, a SAS library, or a
David Loshin explains why MDM is such a valuable tool in helping to detect fraud.
Many intervals in statistics have the form p ± δ, where p is a point estimate and δ is the radius (or half-width) of the interval. (For example, many two-sided confidence intervals have this form, where δ is proportional to the standard error.) Many years ago I wrote an article
Earth is an explosive world! Data from the Smithsonian Institution's Global Volcanism Program (GVP) documents Earth's volcanoes and their eruptive history over the past 10,000 years. The GVP database includes the names, locations, types, and features of more than 1,500 volcanoes. Let's look closer into volcanic eruptions across the globe
Thanks to a new open source project from SAS, Python coders can now bring the power of SAS into their Python scripts. The project is SASPy, and it's available on the SAS Software GitHub. It works with SAS 9.4 and higher, and requires Python 3.x. I spoke with Jared Dean
In his recent blog article on Drawing Paths on a Map using SGPLOT, Robert Allison showed us visually the path computed by the captain of his return flight from Orlando. As usual, one can rely on Robert to put in visual form some interesting bit of information. Thanks, Robert. I
