In SAS, the easiest way to draw random sampling from data is to use PROC SURVEYSELECT or the SAMPLE function in SAS IML software. I have previously written about how to implement four common sampling schemes by using PROC SURVEYSELECT and the SAMPLE function. The DATA step in SAS is
What sets the SAS Model Card apart from previous model cards is the use of descriptive visuals, to make model cards accessible to all personas involved in the analytics process, including data scientists, data engineers, MLOPs engineers, managers, executives, risk managers, business analytics, end-users, and any other stakeholder with access to the SAS Viya environment.
La Inteligencia Artificial (IA) y la analítica se han convertido en herramientas esenciales para las organizaciones que buscan mantenerse competitivas y relevantes en el mercado. La capacidad de analizar grandes volúmenes de datos y obtener información valiosa en tiempo real es ahora más importante que nunca. Acompáñenos en este blog
This article shows how to simulate data from a Poisson regression model, including how to account for an offset variable. If you are not familiar with how to run a Poisson regression in SAS, see the article "Poisson regression in SAS." A Poisson regression model is a specific type of
Fantasy sports are all about making the right calls—do you trust your gut, or do you trust the data? In fact, sports and data are a powerful combination and nowhere is that more evident than in the world of fantasy sports. Whether it's the excitement of the Premier League or
When using LLMs, managing toxicity, bias, and bad actors is critical for trustworthy outcomes. Let’s explore what organizations should be thinking about when addressing these important areas.
This article demonstrates how to use PROC GENMOD to perform a Poisson regression in SAS. There are different examples in the SAS documentation and in conference papers, but I chose this example because it uses two categorical explanatory variables. Therefore, the Poisson regression can be visualized by using a contingency
En el contexto de la responsabilidad fiscal de los ciudadanos, como lo estipula el artículo 31, fracción IV, de la Constitución Política de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos, es evidente que la evasión y las deducciones no justificadas siguen siendo un obstáculo importante para la recaudación de impuestos. Sin embargo, la
Who has time to be a nutritionist between work deadlines and swim practice? Not this working mom! But my tiny human needs her fuel, you know? This is why I’m thankful for nutrition labels. A quick scan at the grocery store tells me if that cereal is all sugar bombs
Learn how an intern integrated SAS Viya® and open-source code (Python) into a Machine Learning project to combine their strengths within the context of predictive modeling, and to show off the variety of ways this integration can be accomplished.
An article published in Nature has the intriguing title, "AI models collapse when trained on recursively generated data." (Shumailov, et al., 2024). The article is quite readable, but I also recommend a less technical overview of the result: "AI models fed AI-generated data quickly spew nonsense" (Gibney, 2024). The Gibney
Os eventos climáticos extremos, como furacões, inundações e incêndios florestais, têm se tornado mais frequentes e intensos ao redor do mundo, colocando um holofote em diversos setores da economia, tanto na esfera pública quanto nas empresas. No âmbito privado, o mercado de seguros é um exemplo de como está sendo
Dez anos de SAS é uma marca que merece uma comemoração especial e, por isso, quem vem contar sua história hoje na série #OrgulhodeSerSAS é Fabio Fogaça, diretor de consultoria. Ele se formou em ciência da computação na PUC-SP e não sabia o que significava atuar em uma área de
Health care payers stand at a crucial moment in balancing expenses with the imperative of providing high-quality care. Rising medical expenses – driven by new technologies, aging populations and the surge in chronic diseases – present an ongoing challenge. Whether they are insurance companies, government programs or employers, payers must
A previous article shows that you can run a simple (one-variable) isotonic regression by using a quadratic programming (QP) formulation. While I was reading a book about computational geometry, I learned that there is a connection between isotonic regression and the convex hull of a certain set of points. Whaaaaat?
