October 13 is National M&M Day in the US. It’s a time to reignite the debate about whether you can taste the difference between the different colored chocolate-filled candies. If you’re like me, equally as enjoyable as eating M&Ms is taking a crack at how many of them are in

Jak firmy tracą pieniądze? Oczywiście w różny sposób. Dzisiaj przyjrzymy się stratom w procesach zakupowych. Na początek dwa przykłady. W firmie zatrudniającej 75 tysięcy pracowników i współpracującej z około 120 tysiącami dostawców zbadano 480 tysięcy zamówień i ponad 800 tysięcy faktur. Przyjrzano się również pracownikom oraz związkom pomiędzy pracownikami i

Mój kolejny artykuł chcę poświęcić roli analityki w całym procesie oceny ryzyka kredytowego klienta firmy telekomunikacyjnej – od momentu złożenia aplikacji aż do windykacji. Postaram się przedstawić, jakie wsparcie zapewnia analityka w każdym z etapów tego procesu, czego można od niej oczekiwać, aby zmaksymalizować efekty biznesowe. Schemat prezentujący poszczególne etapy

As the holiday season approaches, businesses may be bracing for what’s been all too common in recent years – supply chain disruption. Retail and consumer goods industries have been hit with disruptions from every direction: profound shifts in consumer preferences, materials shortages, weather events, and geopolitical activities, to name just

Panel data are commonly used in today’s economics research. Panel data regression stands out as a powerful tool that aids in unraveling trends and patterns that evolve over time. This tool is particularly valuable when considering hidden factors in the investigations of cause-and-effect relationships. In this post, you will be

Steam engines sparked the first Industrial Revolution, electricity energized the second, and early automation and the assembly line powered the third. Now, the fourth (often called smart manufacturing) is being shaped by artificial intelligence, advanced analytics, the internet and real-time data. Smart technologies are transforming manufacturing. It starts on the

Cancer is scary and affects most of us, either directly or indirectly. It is a complex condition with possible causes including poor diet, environmental toxins, genetics, infections, viruses, stress, tobacco use, lack of exercise and more. While no one knows the exact cause of cancer, the World Health Organization states that

Welcome to the continuation of my series Getting Started with Python Integration to SAS Viya. In this post I'll show how to create user defined functions (UDFs) for the distributed CAS server using the SWAT package. Once the UDF is created you can use it on the CAS server with programming

SAS supports a special function for the accurate evaluation of log(1+x) when x is near 0. The LOG1PX function is useful because a naive computation of log(1+x) loses accuracy when x is near 0. This article demonstrates two general approximation techniques that are often used in numerical analysis: the Taylor

SAS는 2020년 1월, LTS 2020.1 버전의 SAS Viya 4를 출시했습니다. SAS Viya 4는 기존 SAS의 솔루션인 SAS 9, SAS Viya 3.5 버전과는 달리 완전한 클라우드 네이티브 버전의 솔루션입니다. 오늘 포스팅에서는 클라우드 네이티브 SAS Viya 4의 서비스인 CAS(Cloud Analytics Service, 이하 CAS)의 라이프 사이클에 대해서 알아보겠습니다. 1. CAS란 무엇일까요? CAS는 고성능

Since 1987, the LGBTQ+ community observes and celebrates Coming Out Day on October 11, to recognize the second march on Washington when half a million people participated in a demonstration for Lesbian and Gay Rights. “Coming out” is a metaphor for people who self-disclose or announce their sexual orientation or

October 10th is World Mental Health Day. For 2023, the World Health Organization has chosen the campaign theme: Mental health is a universal human right. Per their statement: This includes the right to be protected from mental health risks, the right to available, accessible, acceptable, and good quality care, and

Prepare for the best – and the worst – when it comes to generative AI and health care fraud.

The documentation for Python's SciPy package provides a table that concisely summarizes functions that are associated with continuous probability distributions. This article provides a similar table for SAS functions. For more information on the CDF, PDF, quantile, and random-variate functions, see "Four essential functions for statistical programmers." SAS functions for
