Many intervals in statistics have the form p ± δ, where p is a point estimate and δ is the radius (or half-width) of the interval. (For example, many two-sided confidence intervals have this form, where δ is proportional to the standard error.) Many years ago I wrote an article
Earth is an explosive world! Data from the Smithsonian Institution's Global Volcanism Program (GVP) documents Earth's volcanoes and their eruptive history over the past 10,000 years. The GVP database includes the names, locations, types, and features of more than 1,500 volcanoes. Let's look closer into volcanic eruptions across the globe
Thanks to a new open source project from SAS, Python coders can now bring the power of SAS into their Python scripts. The project is SASPy, and it's available on the SAS Software GitHub. It works with SAS 9.4 and higher, and requires Python 3.x. I spoke with Jared Dean
매년 봄, 농구의 본고장 미국은 대학 농구 최대의 토너먼트 ‘미국대학스포츠협회(NCAA)’ 경기로 전역이 들썩입니다. 특히 올해에는 NCAA 남자 농구 토너먼트 2차전이 대중을 사로잡았는데요. 전년도 챔피언인 빌라노바 와일드캐츠가 올해도 결승에 진출할 것이란 전문가 예측을 깨고, 8번 시드를 받은 위스콘신에게 진 것이죠! 또 정규 시즌 동안 SEC(South Eastern Conference)에서 24승 10패를 기록한 사우스

For those of you who don't have SAS/Graph's Proc GMap, I recently showed how to 'fake' a variety of maps using Proc SGplot polygons. So far I've written blogs on creating: pretty maps, gradient shaded choropleth maps, and maps with markers at zip codes. And now (by special request from
The widespread adoption of the term "analytics" reminds me of the evolution of the term "supply chain management." Initially the term focused on supply chain planning. It involved demand and supply balancing and the heuristics and optimization tools that came out of advanced planning and scheduling. Over time practically everything was included
1901 prognostizierte Gottlieb Daimler: „Die weltweite Nachfrage nach Kraftfahrzeugen wird eine Million nicht überschreiten – allein schon aus Mangel an verfügbaren Chauffeuren." Heute fahren die meisten selber und das selbstfahrende Auto scheint auch greifbar nah. Chauffeure braucht heute kein Mensch mehr. Wie sieht das, bei immer mehr Self-Service-Analytics und Machine

Via streaming data, Jim Harris says machines can learn some amazing things without being programmed with domain knowledge.
Most regression models try to model a response variable by using a smooth function of the explanatory variables. However, if the data are generated from some nonsmooth process, then it makes sense to use a regression function that is not smooth. A simple way to model a discontinuous process in
Success in the retail space boils down to one simple function: the conversion of sales. However, retailers can only do this if they have stock readily available. Missing a sales opportunity due to poor stock management just won’t cut it in today’s marketplace. How can we resolve this basic problem
In an industry full of word people, it's not uncommon to hear journalists lament, “Data, what are you doing here!?” But today, data is a tool in the newsroom, and reporters often need to know how to analyze and present data to readers as part of their role in communicating information to the public.
Two minutes in, I knew the 2017 SAS Global Forum Technology Connection would not be typical or average. For one thing, it was SAS Chief Technology Officer Oliver Schabenberger's show, and nothing he does is ever typical or average. The first surprise of the morning was his entrance. He zoomed onto the stage on a Segway, using slight

Auch wenn der Hype von Gartner für beendet erklärt wurde: An Big Data und der Auswertung entsprechender (oftmals unstrukturierter) Datenmengen kommt kein Unternehmen vorbei. Doch welche Herausforderungen stellen Big Data und damit einhergehende Entwicklungen an das Data Management? Wie können Data Scientists, IT und Fachabteilung heute zusammenarbeiten? Und wo prallen
What is SAS Global Forum if it isn't a conference that celebrates the ways that individuals can make a difference with data and analytics?

Dieser Weg … Kann er leichter sein? Regelmäßig begeben wir uns in ein Hamsterrad. Für die Erfüllung von Regulatorik und Compliance sind auf dem Weg bis zum Reporting viele vorgelagerte Schritte notwendig. Diese zu bewältigen, ist sehr mühsam: Die beteiligten Fachbereiche und Systeme sind meist sehr heterogen aufgestellt, die Prozessschritte

제조 업체들은 정치, 경제, 재무, 경쟁사 등 다양한 당면 과제 속에서 비즈니스를 운영하고 있습니다. 앞으로의 제조 환경도 글로벌 경제 위기 때만큼이나 불확실해 보이는데요. 그렇지만 제조업의 성장 기회는 분명 있을 것입니다. 최근 제조 산업에는 ‘인더스트리 4.0’이라는 새로운 시대의 막이 오르고 있습니다. 새 시대에는 자동화, 대규모 데이터, 분석이 사물인터넷(IoT), 클라우드 컴퓨팅과 융합하고, 가상 및
