As part of my follow-up to SAS Global Forum 2013, I've posted a few articles about how to create your own client apps with SAS Integration Technologies. This article shows how to use Microsoft .NET -- the same approach used for SAS Enterprise Guide and SAS Add-In for Microsoft Office

This week's SAS tip is from Michele Burlew and her book SAS Macro Programming Made Easy, Second Edition. Michele is the author of several extremely helpful SAS books. Visit her author page to learn more about her work and for additional free content. The following excerpt is from SAS Press

Are you going to Analytics 2013 in London?!? And if so, have you found any fun/interesting/touristy things to do while you're there? ... Being an analytics conference, I thought it would be good to apply some "analytics" to the task! So I took some locations in the British Isles that I thought

John Heaton is no stranger to the often frustrating process of migrating code between environments after software updates. While release management and version control may often be afterthoughts, Heaton cautions that ignoring them could be “time consuming and disastrous should errors occur.” His winning SAS Global Forum paper SAS® Release

At a time when information is proliferating at an unprecedented rate, companies that can effectively gather, create and use information can gain dramatic market advantages over those that don’t. SMB Group’s 2012 Routes to Market Study shows that SMBs that have deployed business intelligence and analytics solutions are 51% more

Last week I showed how to use simulation to estimate the power of a statistical test. I used the two-sample t test to illustrate the technique. In my example, the difference between the means of two groups was 1.2, and the simulation estimated a probability of 0.72 that the t

One of the great things about SAS libraries is that you can write your programs to read and write data without having to worry about where the data lives. SAS data set on a file system? Oracle table in a database server? Hadoop data in Hive? For many SAS applications,

Echtzeit? Den Algo-Tradern wird das jetzt ein Lächeln auf die Lippen zaubern. Natürlich rede ich in diesem Zusammenhang nicht über Milli- oder Mikrosekunden, aber über Antwortzeiten die für einen Fachanwender akzeptabel sind, um interaktiv mit einer analytischen Applikation zu arbeiten. In diesem Fall darf sich nämlich eine solche Anwendung schon

A SAS user told me that he computed a vector of values in the SAS/IML language and wanted to use those values on a statement in a SAS procedure. The particular application involved wanting to use the values on the ESTIMATE and CONTRAST statements in a SAS regression procedure, but

They say "Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery"... Therefore when I imitate Hans Rosling's famous world-data animation, it's not that I'm jealous, but that I'm paying homage to him! (OK, and maybe also a little bit jealous! LOL) Well, anyway, for those of you who haven't seen it,

Reading Jan Bigalke’s SAS Global Forum paper on “Hardening a SAS® Installation on a multi tier installation on Linux" reminded me of baking apple stack cake with my mother. Neither is a simple project. Both are time-consuming, and their success depends on how skillfully you handle each layer. Data security

The power of a statistical test measures the test's ability to detect a specific alternate hypothesis. For example, educational researchers might want to compare the mean scores of boys and girls on a standardized test. They plan to use the well-known two-sample t test. The null hypothesis is that the

As a marketer interested in analyzing my campaign data visually, I recently had a chance to slow down and read this TDWI checklist report entitled “Seven Steps to Deploying Visual Analytic for Improving Actionable Insight” by Dave Stodder, Director of TDWI Research for Business Intelligence. What it helped me understand is

Meine Oma sagte mal zu mir: „Gut dass du Jura studierst, das ist ein Beruf mit Zukunft. Denn betrogen wird immer.“ Zwar hatte ich zu diesem Zeitpunkt noch gar keine Entscheidung über meinen beruflichen Weg getroffen, der Satz selbst allerdings blieb mir im Gedächtnis. In all den Jahren hat sich

SAS Global Forum 2013 provided a platform for SAS to share its vision. If you couldn't make it to San Francisco, no problem, I have interviewed our key thought leaders to bring you their thoughts in a game of buzzword bingo. First up is Paul Kent, SAS' Vice President of Big Data. Paul
