It’s nearly impossible to avoid the debate. From politicians and pundit commentary, to dinner table discussions across the United States, the hot topic for the last several years has been the rising cost of health care. Consider that health care expenditures in the US were $3 trillion in 2014 and are
What do people have in common who have used analog clocks, vinyl records, and payphones? They were all probably born before 1980! Now, let's focus on those payphones!... A lot of young kids these days can't imagine a world where everyone doesn't have a wireless phone. My buddy Ed likes
Have you ever had problems matching data that has typographical errors in it? Because of the nature of arbitrary typos and incorrect spelled words a specific matching technique is required to tackle those cases. SAS Data Quality, with its traditional, in nature deterministic matching approach is by nature not best
Corrupción y fraude fiscal son dos temas que se encuentran en el foco de atención de la opinión pública. Casos como los “Panama Papers”, acusaciones de lavado de dinero en contra de la ex presidenta de Argentina, Cristina Fernández y la sentencia de la justicia chilena en el caso Mazza,
Meiner Meinung nach werden in Zukunft nur noch ergebnisorientierte Fragestellungen an eine Cloud gerichtet, die dann fallentsprechend beantwortet und abgerechnet werden.

The annual SAS Analytics Conference is upon us again. This year it is known by a different name, Analytics Experience 2016, but the location, Las Vegas, is the same as it has been the previous two years. Just like last year, I will be attending and presenting on analytics for panel
Hadoop has driven an enormous amount of data analytics activity lately. And this poses a problem for many practitioners coming from the traditional relational database management system (RDBMS) world. Hadoop is well known for having lots of variety in the structure of data it stores and processes. But it's fair to
Yesterday I opened up the Wall Street Journal and found the usual mix of ads from major technology vendors touting their IoT (Internet of Things) prowess, and claiming they all have the secret sauce to make all of our IoT dreams come true. Where do I sign up?! Meanwhile, back

Ob der Big Data-Hype schon vorbei ist oder nicht, sei dahingestellt: Big Data ist es jedenfalls nicht – und gibt immer noch genügend Gesprächspunkte für eine Blog-Serie. Im ersten Beitrag zum Thema Big Data Governance möchte ich auf den disruptiven Effekt von Big Data auf Unternehmen eingehen. Hier sind meiner
Often I have written articles that are motivated by some question by a user on how to create a particular graph, or how to work around some shortcoming in the feature set to create the graph you need. This time, I got a question about Clinical Graphs that were mostly working
When I attended my first SAS conference in 2003 I was not only a first-timer, I was a first time presenter. Needless to say I was a bit nervous. I did not know what to expect. Was my topic good enough for these savvy programmers and statisticians? Well my first
Some organizations I visit don’t seem to have changed their analytics technology environment much since the early days of IT. I often encounter companies with 70s-era base statistical packages running on mainframes or large servers, data warehouses (originated in the 80s), and lots of reporting applications.

First, if you landed on this topic because you encountered this SAS message: ERROR 180-322: Statement is not valid or it is used out of proper order. ...then I'll tell you right now: you've probably left off a semicolon in one of your SAS statements. If you're lucky, the SAS
