In honor of Women's History Month, SAS organized various events to celebrate and empower women. Keep reading to see how we highlighted women's contributions and achievements in various fields. Fair Play discussion Fair Play makes the “invisible care” work historically held by women visible, inspiring a more balanced future for
When the SAS statistical graphics (SG) procedures were designed in the early 2000s, a goal was to create a comprehensive Graph Template Language (GTL) and leverage the GTL by using SG procedures that perform common tasks easily without having to write any GTL. This project was hugely successful, and "ODS
For several years Kim Andreaus and I have taught Powerful Tools for Caregivers, an evidence-based program that teaches skills for self-care and stress management. One of the lessons from the class that always resonates with me is the concept of guilt versus regret. Guilt is shame-based and implies there was
A previous article discusses how to compute the union, intersection, and other subsets of a pair of sets. In that article, I displayed a simple Venn diagram (reproduced to the right) that illustrates the intersection and difference between two sets. The diagram uses a red disk for one set, a
Artificial Intelligence (AI) can drive environmental innovation (EI) in sustainability and reduction of carbon emissions. However, the use of AI itself also comes with environmental costs. The high computational requirements of AI-based systems lead to significant energy consumption, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. The energy consumption of AI systems can
Retailers are always looking for ways to maximize customer interactions and develop new revenue opportunities, particularly in the face of social and economic challenges. Retail media networks (RMNs) have recently emerged as an attractive investment option for retailers and brands or consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies. Retail media refers to
The spring is a time of rebirth and renewal. The birds are singing, plants are emerging from the ground and flowers are blooming in their brightness. For me, I feel better when I'm immersed in nature. What’s even better is bringing nature inside. In honor of Earth Month, I
The fundamental operations on sets are union, intersection, and set difference, all of which are supported directly in the SAS IML language. While studying another programming language, I noticed that the language supports an additional operation, namely the symmetric difference between two sets. The language also supports query functions to
앞선 두번의 연재를 통해 자금세탁 방지 기술이 향후 어떤 방식으로 발전되어갈 것인지, 금융기관이 현재 운영중인 자금세탁 환경을 앞으로 어떻게 변화시켜 나가야 하는지를 살펴보았습니다. 이를 위해 SAS는 ‘AML Compliance Analytics Maturity Model’을 제시했고, Maturity Model의 단계를 소개함으로써 현재 각 금융기관이 AML을 위해 내부적으로 어느 정도 데이터 분석을 적용하고 있는지에 대한 자체
Analytics are vital to a safer future. As a renowned sustainability leader, SAS is committed to making a positive impact on our customers, employees, and the planet. Climate change is more important than ever, and the explosion of big data is essential to navigating this crisis. Learn how analytics is
The "Teacher’s Corner" of The American Statistician enables statisticians to discuss topics that are relevant to teaching and learning statistics. Sometimes, the articles have practical relevance, too. Andersson (2023) "The Wald Confidence Interval for a Binomial p as an Illuminating 'Bad' Example," is intended for professors and masters-level students in
Desde que en 2019 se constituyese la Red de Destinos Turísticos Inteligentes (RDI), el camino recorrido por la industria del turismo, capital para la economía española, no ha sido fácil, con una pandemia que dió de lleno en la línea de flotación de este sector. Hoy, el panorama comienza a
SAS' Scott Pope introduces you to an action set in SAS Viya called dlModelZoo that supports importing PyTorch models.
A journal article listed the mean, median, and size for subgroups of the data, but did not report the overall mean or median. A SAS programmer wondered what, if any, inferences could be made about the overall mean and median for the data. The answer is that you can calculate
A SAS user asked how to interpret a rank-based correlation such as a Spearman correlation or a Kendall correlation. These are alternative measures to the usual Pearson product-moment correlation, which is widely used. The programmer knew that words like "weak," "moderate," and "strong" are sometimes used to describe the Pearson
We're thrilled to announce that Michael Lewis, best-selling author of The Premonition, The Blind Side, Moneyball, and The Big Short, will join us at SAS Innovate: Orlando for a fireside chat. Michael Lewis has been shedding light on the inner workings of the financial world for decades. From his early work in Liar's Poker to
A previous article discusses rank correlation and lists some advantages of using rank correlation. However, the article does not show examples where an analyst might prefer to report the rank correlation instead of the traditional Pearson product-moment correlation. This article provides three examples where the rank correlation is a better
SAS' Brandon Reese the EURO Meets NeurIPS 2022 Vehicle Routing Competition, which combined efforts of operations research and machine learning experts.
I recently discussed introductory programming with a colleague who teaches Python at a university. He told me about the following introductory programming assignment: Let N be an integer parameter in the range [1, 9]. For each value of N, find all pairs of one-digit positive integers d1 and d2 that
Las organizaciones de todos los sectores iniciaron un año 2023 más conscientes de que el entorno económico, político y social no permanece estático, y que las condiciones bajo las que operan a diario pueden cambiar con relativa frecuencia. Han aprendido a ser resilientes y prestar atención a lo que sucede
SAS Hackathon team, Data Hack Freaks, created an artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) based dynamic pricing approach that allows insurance providers to adjust pricing based on the changing nature of the risk behavior of their customers. This solution has three major components: The loss ratio score, telematics score
A previous article discusses the issue of a confounding variable and uses correlation to give an example. The example shows that the correlation between two variables might be affected by a third variable, which is called a confounding variable. The article mentions that you can use the PARTIAL statement in
The SAS Resiliency Rules report explores the global resiliency landscape. This report highlights country-specific findings about the ongoing market challenges, the difference between an importance in attaining resiliency versus perceived resiliency, and the principles companies need to follow to drive business resiliency. Our research defines resiliency as the ability of
점점 더 많은 고객이 클라우드로 이동함에 따라 클라우드 인프라 비용이 중요한 요소가 되었습니다. 최초 클라우드 표준 가격 모델은 "종량제"(Pay-As-You-Go, 시간당 고정 가격) 모델이었습니다. 이 모델의 장점은 실제 사용량에 대해서만 비용을 지불하고 필요할 때 리소스를 축소할 수 있다는 것입니다. 하지만 운영환경(production environment)은 연중무휴 24시간 사용 가능한 상태를 유지해야 하는 경우가 많습니다.
A data analyst wanted to estimate the correlation between two variables, but he was concerned about the influence of a confounding variable that is correlated with them. The correlation might affect the apparent relationship between main two variables in the study. A common confounding variable is age because young people
SAS' Ali Dixon and Mary Osborne reveal why a BERT-based classifier is now part of our natural language processing capabilities of SAS Viya.
