The wind chill chart
In cold and blustery conditions, the weather forecast often includes two temperatures: the actual air temperature and the wind chill temperature. The wind chill temperature conveys the cumulative effect of air temperature and wind on the human body. The goal of the wind-chill scale is to communicate the effect of
SAS graphs for R programmers - paneled graphs
This is another in my series of blogs where I take a deep dive into converting customized R graphs into SAS graphs. Today I show how to combine several graphs with shared axes, which we'll call paneled graphs. This time I'll be plotting the Job Openings Rate by Industry, similar
A year of COVID-19: grief and resources for support
As I write this blog post, we are nearing the milestone of 500,000 deaths in the U.S. and 2.5 million worldwide. In the U.S. we are also nearing the one-year anniversary of that week in March where the realities of the pandemic set-in and everything changed. We are all caught
Así pueden las marcas hacer un diagnóstico inicial de sus capacidades de marketing y analítica en línea y gratis
Lo vivido en el último tiempo ha significado tiempos de incertidumbre para muchos y unos de ellos son los profesionales de marketing en las empresas. No era para menos: los comportamientos de los clientes (B2C y también B2B) cambiaron abruptamente: valores, lugares, canales, frecuencias… todo lo que conocíamos anteriormente y

The strange bedfellows of AI and ethics
Organisations also need to ensure diversity when developing assets—those diverse teams that I mentioned before.
How to use the #BYVAR and #BYVAL keywords to customize graph titles in SAS
A previous article describes how to use the SGPANEL procedure to visualize subgroups of data. It focuses on using headers to display information about each graph. In the example, the data are time series for the price of several stocks, and the headers include information about whether the stock price
Taking initiative leads to rewards for this young data scientist
This post is part of our Young Data Scientists series, featuring the motivation, work and advice of the next generation of data scientists. Be sure to check back for future posts, or read the whole series by clicking on the image to the right. This July, the inaugural Academic SAS
Little Life Hacks: Dry Brushing
The skin is the largest organ in the body. Although many might not think of it as an organ, it accounts for ~15 percent of our body weight and it protects us. We may consider just the outer layer since that's what we see, but there are two main layers
Data-driven titles for graphs
Many characteristics of a graph are determined by the underlying data at run time. A familiar example is when you use colors to indicate different groups in the data. If the data have three groups, you see three colors. If the data have four groups, you see four colors. The
SAS graphs for R programmers - diverging bars
This is another in my series of blogs where I take a deep dive into converting a customized R graph into a SAS graph. Today I'm focusing on a diverging bar chart (where one bar segment is above the zero line, and the other is below). What type of data
Using the cloud to unlock business value and comply with IFRS 17 and LDTI
4 tips to help insurers comply with regulatory reporting requirements as they move to the cloud.
Generate all quadratic interactions in a regression model
I've previously written about how to generate all pairwise interactions for a regression model in SAS. For a model that contains continuous effects, the easiest way is to use the EFFECT statement in PROC GLMSELECT to generate second-degree "polynomial effects." However, a SAS programmer was running a simulation study and
Mathematical optimization at SAS
Note from Udo Sglavo on mathematical optimization: When data scientists look at the essence of analytics and wonder about their daily endeavor, it often comes down to supporting better decisions. Peter F. Drucker, the founder of modern management, stated: "Whenever you see a successful business, someone once made a courageous decision."
We are joining forces with the SAS Data Science blog!
It's been a great ride Since 2014, the Operations Research Blog has covered a broad range of topics related to real applications of operations research. Paraphrasing Principal Product Manager for Optimization Ed Hughes' first post - this blog covered how OR methods could be applied to organizational and business planning
Print the top rows of your SAS data
One of the first things I learned in SAS was how to use PROC PRINT to display parts of a data set. I usually do not need to see all the data, so my favorite way to use PROC PRINT is to use the OBS= data set option to display
SAS graphs for R programmers - U.S. choropleth map
This is another in my series of blogs where I take a deep dive into converting a customized R graph into a SAS ODS Graphics graph. Can you guess what data I'll be using this time? Here's a photo with a hint. This is Keeler, California (just west of Death
Innovation: The one and only goal for enterprises
"With #HackinSAS, we want to build on the best of many young ideas into innovative products on one platform."
UpSet Plot using GTL
An UpSet plot is used to visualize intersections of sets. In this post, we will illustrate techniques to create this plot using the Graph Template Language (GTL). We assume that you are familiar with GTL. From the point of view of construction, we leverage the LATTICE layout available in GTL

Modernize the risk modeling life cycle by moving to cloud
Go from gridlocked model development to accelerated innovation by moving to the cloud.
A matrix is singular if its rows are arithmetic sequences
Look at the following matrices. Do you notice anything that these matrices have in common? If you noticed that the rows of each matrix are arithmetic progressions, good for you. For each row, there is a constant difference (also called the "increment") between adjacent elements. For these examples: In the
SAS graphs for R programmers - needle plots
This is another in my series of blogs where I take a deep dive into converting a customized R graph into a SAS ODS Graphics graph. This time the example is a needle plot (that's essentially like a bar plot, with lots of tiny bars, plotted along a continuous xaxis).
Generate random points on a sphere
In a previous article, I showed how to generate random points uniformly inside a d-dimensional sphere. In that article, I stated the following fact: If Y is drawn from the uncorrelated multivariate normal distribution, then S = Y / ||Y|| has the uniform distribution on the unit sphere. I was
AI Research Above the Supermarket
Globus (Rouven Dörr) and DFKI (Frederic Kerber) tackle the big questions about the future of AI in supermarkets.
Should teams draft more offensive linemen?
I previously blogged about the impact drafting offensive linemen has on winning and making the playoffs. Since I wrote that, we have new data points to add to the analysis and an exciting finale to this NFL season. In this blog post, I’ll explore a few more arguments both in
Gaussian random walks and Levy flights
Imagine an animal that is searching for food in a vast environment where food is scarce. If no prey is nearby, the animal's senses (such as smell and sight) are useless. In that case, a reasonable search strategy is a random walk. The animal can choose a random direction, walk/swim/fly
