The amount of data collected and analyzed by hospitals and health care organizations across the world was already on the rise, but the global pandemic has sharpened the focus on data even more. With trends changing not daily, but hourly, during the pandemic, health care professionals struggle to monitor larger
You can represent every number as a nearby integer plus a decimal. For example, 1.3 = 1 + 0.3. The integer is called the integer part of x, whereas the decimal is called the fractional part of x (or sometimes the decimal part of x). This representation is not unique.
Starting your data scientist journey? Want to build your own predictive models? SAS' Xavier Bizoux shows you how to use SAS Visual Analytics to identify which model likely to perform the best.
Fraud is a major issue for businesses across all industries, regardless of their size and industry in which they operate. The costs can be enormous (in extreme cases, even fatal) and include far more than the direct costs of any particular type of fraud. Companies must also deal with the
While Brexit has distracted us for the past few years, a far more subtle but important revolution has been happening right under our noses. Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a crucial part of our day-to-day. Self-learning machines are embedded in services or devices used by three-quarters of global consumers. And
The digital world around us is full of data that needs analysing. Maths has become visibly more important.
This blog is a part of a series on the Data Science Pilot Action Set. In this blog, we discuss updates to Visual Data Mining and Machine Learning with the release of Viya 3.5. In the middle of my blog series, SAS released Viya 3.5. Included in Viya 3.5 was the
A SAS programmer wanted to create a graph that illustrates how Deming regression differs from ordinary least squares regression. The main idea is shown in the panel of graphs below. The first graph shows the geometry of least squares regression when we regress Y onto X. ("Regress Y onto X"
Cancer touches nearly everyone. You probably know at least one person who's been diagnosed with cancer -- many of us know many more than one. It's the second leading cause of death worldwide, behind cardiovascular disease. World Cancer Day is observed this year on February 4, and is meant to
요즘 네이버, 구글 등 각종 검색 포털 창에 ‘데이터’를 입력하면 어떤 키워드가 가장 먼저 완성될까요? 빅데이터? 데이터 분석? 물론 두 단어의 인기는 산업을 불문하고 여전히 뜨겁지만😊 그 못 지 않게 2020년 1월, 화제의 중심에 선 키워드가 있죠. 최근 뉴스 기사들을 통해 모두가 짐작했을 주인공, 바로 ‘데이터 3법’입니다. 지난 1월 9일,
The COVID-19 Coronavirus outbreak has been in the news a lot lately, and everyone is probably looking for a quick/easy way to see the data. The best visualization I've seen so far is this dashboard by Johns Hopkins. Here's a screen-capture: But before we dive into the data analysis, let's
Recent high-profile money laundering cases have affected the reputation of the EU's financial system. In response, the European Commission is taking immediate action – faster than ever – to close the gaps. On November 2018, only six months after the adoption of the Fifth EU Anti-Money Laundering Directive (5AMLD), the
Almost everyone enjoys a good glass of wine after a long day, but did you ever stop to wonder how the exact bottle you're looking for makes its way to the grocery store shelf? Analytics has a lot to do with it, as SAS demonstrated to attendees at the National
Recently someone on social media asked, "how can I compute the required sample size for a binomial test?" I assume from the question that the researcher was designing an experiment to test the proportions between two groups, such as a control group and a treatment/intervention group. They wanted to know
Data science can be a bit of a lonely job. It’s a shortage specialty, so many data scientists may be the only ones employed by their company. But they still need to learn about what’s new and exciting in the data science world. I caught up with Josefin Rosén about
I've read several articles that mentioned the north magnetic pole has been moving more in the past few decades, than in the previous few hundred years. And as a Map Guy, I knew I just had to plot this data on a map, and see it for myself! I provide
Everyone is talking about artificial intelligence (AI) and how it affects our lives -- there are even AI toothbrushes! But how do businesses use AI to help them compete in the market? According to Gartner research, only half of all AI projects are deployed and 90% take more than three
올해 1월 IDC에서 발표한 ‘IDC 마켓스케이프: 2019-2020년 전 세계 범용 인공지능 소프트웨어 플랫폼 벤더 평가(IDC MarketScape: Worldwide General-Purpose Artificial Intelligence Software Platforms 2019–2020 Vendor Assessment)’ 보고서에서 SAS가 리더로 선정되었습니다🙌🙌 IDC에서 인공지능(AI) 플랫폼 공급업체들을 평가한 것은 이번이 처음이었는데요. IDC 마켓스케이프 보고서는 수익 및 시장성을 비롯해 기업별 AI 전략 및 기능에 대한
Today’s business banking models are changing. Internal rating models enjoyed the spotlight for a long time, but new topics are already catching on. Machine learning and artificial intelligence are key new elements in addition to traditional techniques for model development. EU and international regulators have also taken an active interest
How do you convince busy IT integration partners to take a deep dive into new technology without asking them to also first sell a solution to a client? After all, time is money for implementation partners. At SAS, we are keen to introduce our partners and, through them, more clients
In a previous article, I showed how to perform collinearity diagnostics in SAS by using the COLLIN option in the MODEL statement in PROC REG. For models that contain an intercept term, I noted that there has been considerable debate about whether the data vectors should be mean-centered prior to
Meet Stefan Stoyanov. He’s an MSc Business Analytics student with a passion for emerging technologies, ranging from artificial intelligence to augmented and virtual reality.
Oggi i modelli di business nel settore bancario stanno cambiando: i modelli di internal rating sono stati a lungo sotto i riflettori, ma nuove tecniche di modellazione stanno già prendendo piede. Machine Learning e Intelligenza Artificiale sono nuovi elementi chiave che si aggiungono alle tecniche tradizionali per lo sviluppo dei
O ano 2019 foi especial para o SAS Portugal, porque comemorámos o nosso 25º aniversário. Foram vários os momentos de celebração, não só no SAS Fórum Portugal, como em alguns momentos especiais com clientes de vários anos. Para fechar este ano, e depois de uma série de artigos aqui publicados
Natural Language Processing can offer invaluable benefits to councils and increase resident satisfaction.
The Johnson system (Johnson, 1949) contains a family of four distributions: the normal distribution, the lognormal distribution, the SB distribution (which models bounded distributions), and the SU distribution (which models unbounded distributions). Note that 'B' stands for 'bounded' and 'U' stands for 'unbounded.' A previous article explains the purpose of
The coronavirus has been a big item in the news lately - it's a pneumonia-like illness that has killed several people. It's thought to have started in China, and has spread to several other countries (including at least one case in the U.S.). The World Health Organization says the coronavirus
Mathematics and artificial intelligence (AI) are natural partners. I can only apologise to anyone who hated maths at school for this statement, but to my mind, it’s impossible to engage with AI without understanding some maths. One commentator summed it up: “A person working in the field of AI who
In my previous post, I shared how I’ve been working on a fascinating project with one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies. The company is applying SAS Viya computer vision capabilities to an advanced medical device to help identify potential quality issues on the production line. By providing 100% visual
The flu season has started here in the U.S., and according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data it has caused 214 deaths in the first week of 2020. Is this number higher, or lower, than usual? When does the flu season start, and how long does
