The field of probability and statistics is full of asymptotic results. The Law of Large Numbers and the Central Limit Theorem are two famous examples. An asymptotic result can be both a blessing and a curse. For example, consider a result that says that the distribution of some statistic converges
A recent report suggests that the current state of climate change is alarming. Climate change puts billions of people at risk of events like extreme hurricane seasons and rising sea levels. However, data and analytics play a critical role in informing us about the situation, planning ahead, and raising awareness
The SAS/IML language supports lists, which are containers that store other objects, such as matrices and other lists. A primary use of lists is to pack objects of various types into a single symbol that can be passed to and from modules. A useful feature of using lists is that
Earth’s natural capital deserves protection – for our sake and for the future. Analytics can help.
In this Q&A with MIT/SMR Connections, Iain Brown, SAS’s head of data science for the United Kingdom and Ireland, discusses technical readiness for AI, customer adoption trends, IT’s changing role, and mission-critical considerations for technology and talent. Q: What does it mean, from both a technology and a cultural standpoint,
I’m a Leo and love the sun and the sea! There is something magical about the ocean breeze, the sand between my toes and the glistening sun on the ocean waves as they easily flow in and out in a rhythmic, calm manner. I imagine the seaweed beneath the water’s
I previously wrote about one way to solve the partition problem in SAS. In the partition problem, you divide (or partition) a set of N items into two groups of size k and N-k such that the sum of the items' weights is the same in each group. For example,
As organizations increasingly use artificial intelligence to collect and analyze data and identify individuals, the topic of ethical AI often rears its head. Last year, Michigan's Integrated Data Automated System flagged more than 540,000 unemployment claims as possibly fraudulent. Thousands of state residents’ accounts were inaccurately flagged, making it almost
The partition problem has many variations, but recently I encountered it as an interactive puzzle on a computer. (Try a similar game yourself!) The player is presented with an old-fashioned pan-balance scale and a set of objects of different weights. The challenge is to divide (or partition) the objects into

In an episode of The Health Pulse hosted by Greg Horne, we learn about Dawnté Early, PhD, whose idea and mission is to transform the mental health system so that everyone who needs care receives high-quality and culturally competent care. Early's work focuses on bringing together individual mental health data
SAS는 마이크로소프트에 이어 아마존, 구글, 레드햇 등 파트너십을 확대하고 있으며, 50여 IoT기술 기업과 협력하고 있습니다. SAS 브라이언 해리스 CTO는 이번 SAS 글로벌 포럼에서 SAS가 파트너십을 확장하는 이유, 그로 인해 고객이 누리게 될 혜택을 간단히 소개했습니다. 마이크로소프트, 아마존, 구글, 레드햇 지원 변화는 리스크가 아닙니다. 오랜 시간이나 엄청난 비용이 드는 것도 아닙니다.
A statistical programmer asked how to simulate event-trials data for groups. The subjects in each group have a different probability of experiencing the event. This article describes one way to simulate this scenario. The simulation is similar to simulating from a mixture distribution. This article also shows three different ways
The need for agile, accurate demand planning has never been greater. When considering migrating your demand management application to a cloud-native solution, you might experience platform management challenges ranging from lacking the resources needed to oversee application operations, to manipulating maintenance tasks that may distract from growing the business. Why
뉴노멀 시대에서는 데이터의 복잡성, 다양성, 규모가 극적으로 증가합니다. 분석 에코시스템은 그 어느 때보다 거대하며, 훨씬 복잡해졌습니다. SAS 브라이언 해리스 CTO는 이번 SAS 글로벌 포럼에서 이 같은 새로운 변화에 맞서는 SAS의 노력을 소개했습니다. 2021년의 화두는 ‘한 발 앞선 행동과 뉴노멀 시대에서의 번영’입니다. 이미 많은 기업이 시장의 기대에 부응하기 위해 적응하며 비즈니스
Jim Harris takes a deep dive into data lakes and how they relate to the cloud.
Catching up to the consumers Using technology and analytics to support marketing is not especially new. It is fair to say that it has been possible for some time. Many organisations have invested in marketing platforms, for example. However, there is a niggling problem. The investment may have been made, but few marketers are
SAS' Xilong Chen introduces the new DEEPCAUSAL procedure in SAS Econometrics for causal inference and policy evaluation and much more.
A colleague spent a lot of time creating a panel of graphs to summarize some data. She did not use SAS software to create the graph, but I used SAS to create a simplified version of her graph, which is shown to the right. (The colors are from her graph.)

싱가포르에 본사를 둔 ADDO AI사는 인공 지능으로 세계를 변화시키고 있는 기술 기업으로, 세계 유수의 기업을 고객으로 두고 있는 있습니다. 이 회사의 공동 설립자 겸 대표 아예사 칸나(Ayesha Khanna)가 지난 SAS 글로벌 포럼에서 실제 기업의 사례를 중심으로 AI 트렌드를 소개하며, AI를 이용하여 경쟁에 앞서갈 수 있는 방법을 소개했습니다. 기계는 우리를 어떻게
펜실베니아대학교 와튼스쿨 교수이자 조직심리학자, 저자인 애덤 그랜트(Adam Grant)는 싱크 어게인이 필요한 이유, 과학자처럼 생각하기, 겸손한 자신감, 가면증후군적 경향을 강점으로 바꾸는 방법, 배움 네트워크 구축 방법, 다시 생각하기와 다시 학습하기를 실천에 옮기는 방법, 직장 내 정신적 안전, 멘탈 피트니스 등 다채로운 주제로 SAS 글로벌 포럼에서 발표했습니다. 그 중 일부를 소개합니다.
Many cities have Open Data pages. But once you download the data, what can you do with it? This is my sixth in a series of blog posts where I download public data about Cary, NC, and demonstrate how you might analyze that type of data (for Cary, or any
Technological advancements in connectivity and global positioning systems (GPS) have led to increased data tracking and related business use cases to analyze such movements. Whether analyzing a vehicle, an animal or a population's movements - each use case requires analyzing underlying spatial information. Global challenges such as virus outbreaks, deforestation
Plant control is key for manufacturers to run their operations. Since the advent of computers, process industries have witnessed the impact of new technologies in terms of safety, stability and resiliency. Here is a five-decade overview of those technologies: 1950s: Electromechanical systems set the basis of modern process control by
This virus is very scary and it changes constantly. So when you let a virus like that infect millions and millions of people, it's going to make all of those mistakes in copying itself over and over again. - Meghan Schaeffer, Epidemiologist, SAS Meghan Schaeffer, EdD, MPH, MPA, is a
The number of possible bootstrap samples for a sample of size N is big. Really big. Recall that the bootstrap method is a powerful way to analyze the variation in a statistic. To implement the standard bootstrap method, you generate B random bootstrap samples. A bootstrap sample is a sample

You can use the bootstrap method to estimate confidence intervals. Unlike formulas, which assume that the data are drawn from a specified distribution (usually the normal distribution), the bootstrap method does not assume a distribution for the data. There are many articles about how to use SAS to bootstrap statistics
