A long time ago, I worked for a company that had positioned itself as basically a third-party “data trust” to perform collaborative analytics. The business proposition was to engage different types of organizations whose customer bases overlapped, ingest their data sets, and perform a number of analyses using the accumulated
What would come to mind if you were told that you have to attend a SAS training course? Perhaps, you have a vision of an instructor sitting at the front of a classroom, endlessly reading PowerPoint slides verbatim in a monotonous voice while you sit there baffled, wondering what is
I’m an avid open water swimmer. In order to succeed in open water races I must do two things: I must sight properly in order to swim the straightest line possible in the right direction. The straighter the line, the less I have to swim. I must use a powerful,
Were you the kid who sat there analyzing the amusement park map before entering the park, planning out how you could visit the most rides in the least amount of time? If so, then this blog's for you, my data analyst kindred spirit! And to get you in the mood,
The way your graph looks can make all the difference ... two people can graph the exact same data in essentially the same way, but one of the two graphs can be perceived as much better than the other. Hopefully reading my blogs will help you create the better graph!
Why they will still play a valuable role in organizational data-management and -integration efforts.
First it was the patriarch of my favorite family. That shocking Red Wedding scene meant I could cross off several more characters I’d grown to love. When the season finale of Season 5 left me asking if we’d lost yet another one of my favorites, I wasn’t sure how much
Today, I was in a conversation about using Hadoop (a big data platform) for master data management (MDM). I still find it amazing when we have the discussion of what systems feed another system. Many of our friends have spent years creating MDM for customer, product, etc. with success. I'm a
¿Es posible optimizar el uso de los recursos públicos? Una pregunta interesante para aquellos líderes de Gobierno que están orientados a resultados y preocupados por alcanzar el máximo potencial de su gestión, sobre todo al momento de rendir cuentas de manera clara y oportuna a la ciudadanía.

In the spirit of our “40 and forward” theme to celebrate 40 years of SAS, this blog focuses on David Dickey, an accomplished SAS user since 1974 and a SAS instructor since 1981. He actually co-wrote the original Time Series SAS course in 1981, and helped with the most recent

A kernel density estimate (KDE) is a nonparametric estimate for the density of a data sample. A KDE can help an analyst determine how to model the data: Does the KDE look like a normal curve? Like a mixture of normals? Is there evidence of outliers in the data? In
El concepto de Big Data ha revolucionado la forma de entender el manejo de la información de forma global y estratégica, comprendido hoy en día en dos variantes: el volumen en el manejo de la información, y su velocidad de generación. Para entenderlo y conceptualizarlo, hay que tomar en cuenta

Jupyter Notebookとは？ Jupyter Notebookとは、ノートブック形式のインターフェースでコードの開発（記述や実行）ができるWebアプリケーションです。約50ほどの世の中のプログラミング言語に対応しています。 http://jupyter.org/ Jupyter and SASとは？ Jupyterの環境に、オープンソースのSAS kernel for Jupyterを追加することで、Jupyter Notebook上でSAS言語を使用（シンタックスのハイライト、実行、ログの確認、アウトプットの表示）することが可能になります。 Jupyter Notebookでは、作業の内容は、ノートブック（*.ipynb）形式で保存されます。Jupyter Notebookでは、SASコードや実行結果だけでなく、リッチテキスト形式で文章を記載することが可能です。ノートブックはHTML形式や、PDF、あるいはSASコードとして出力することも可能です。 SAS 9.4とLinux環境があれば、ほとんどの方が導入・ご利用いただくことが可能です。 Jupyter Notebookを開くと、Notebookダッシュボードが表示されます。ここに、ノートブックや他のファイルの一覧が表示されます。 SAS University Editionでも使えますか？ 2016の7月から、Jupyter NotebookとSAS Kernel for JupyterがSAS University EditionのvAppに含まれることになりました。従来、SAS University Editionのインターフェースは、SAS Studioのみでしたが、今後はJupyter Notebookもご利用いただくことが可能となります。 https://support.sas.com/software/products/university-edition/faq/jn_whatis.htm
