How can a solar farm ensure peak energy production? And what factors can be adjusted to optimize production throughout the day, the week and season-by-season? These are just some of the questions that a team of data scientists have asked and answered about the SAS solar farm using data, drones
A 2-D "bin plot" counts the number of observations in each cell in a regular 2-D grid. The 2-D bin plot is essentially a 2-D version of a histogram: it provides an estimate for the density of a 2-D distribution. As I discuss in the article, "The essential guide to
I saw an article that claimed Donald Trump recently tweeted 123 times in one day. This got me wondering how many times he typically tweets during a day, and whether this number has changed over the years. This seems like it might be a good topic to analyze with a
Data scientists naturally use a lot of machine learning algorithms, which work well for detecting patterns, automating simple tasks, generalizing responses and other data heavy tasks. As a subfield of computer science, machine learning evolved from the study of pattern recognition and computational learning theory in artificial intelligence. Over time, machine learning has borrowed from many
Rockin' around the Christmas tree At the Christmas party hop. – Brenda Lee Last Christmas, I saw a fun blog post that used optimization methods to de-noise an image of a Christmas tree. Although there are specialized algorithms that remove random noise from an image, I am not going to
Stuttgarter Zukunftssymposium - was werden Maschinen in Zukunft wirklich sein - Angst also vorbei?
Gespräch mit Johannes Fuhr über Bedeutung vom Netzwerken: Meetups sind Jobbörsen und Wissensvermittlung für Startups in einem.
Gespräch mit Helmut Linde von Merck über seine Meetup-Ambitionen. Helmut ist ein begehrter Gastredner in der Data Science Szene Rhein-Main.
I can tell that my area (Wake county, NC) has a growing population, because the traffic keeps getting worse and worse. But it's a little difficult to quantitatively gauge growth by looking at traffic congestion. Therefore let's have a look at a more direct measurement - the actual population data!

I caught up with Ioannis Tsiliras, Director at OTE-COSMOTE, to discuss innovation, real-time and customer contact.
Jeff Stander helps us understand the different options of preparing data for analytics.
Binary matrices are used for many purposes. I have previously written about how to use binary matrices to visualize missing values in a data matrix. They are also used to indicate the co-occurrence of two events. In ecology, binary matrices are used to indicate which species of an animal are
If you have an interesting topic for a 20 minutes lightning talk, please feel free to contact us.
As we're getting into December, and the weather is getting colder, I thought it would be cool to plot some Antarctica data. You might remember I did this about 1.5 years ago, using good-old Proc Gmap, a special projection, and lots of tricky annotation. Well, this time let's use the
A tecnologia moderna mudou a maneira como as marcas e os consumidores se conectam. Como será a experiência do cliente em 2030? De que forma vão as marcas evoluir para satisfazer as expectativas dos futuros consumidores? Estas são algumas das questões abordadas num estudo recente intitulado "Experience 2030: The Future
Recently I showed how to visualize and analyze longitudinal data in which subjects are measured at multiple time points. A very common situation is that the data are collected at two time points. For example, in medicine it is very common to measure some quantity (blood pressure, cholesterol, white-blood cell
Another year, another traditional Christmas song or carol turned into a fun technology-related version! This is the sixth year and my ninth song. I hope you enjoy your 2019 holiday song, based on this famous tune. The Data Science and AI Song Computer vision processing on an open stack The
One analysis suggests that in the first year of using process mining, the telecoms company had decreased its cost per process order by almost 40% and improved its productivity.
Gastbeitrag von Christina Eckhardt, CINTELLIC Consulting Group, über die richtige Implentierung von CRM-Strategien.
This is a second article about analyzing longitudinal data, which features measurements that are repeatedly taken on subjects at several points in time. The previous article discusses a response-profile analysis, which uses an ANOVA method to determine differences between the means of an experimental group and a placebo group. The
SAS Viya is a cloud-enabled, in-memory analytics engine which allows for rapid analytics insights. Viya utilizes the SAS Cloud Analytics Services (CAS) to perform various actions and tasks. Best of all, CAS is accessible from various interfaces including R. In this blog, I will go through a few blocks one of my notebooks, which moves through an analytics workflow using R and SAS.
A Transformação Digital deixou para trás muitas lacunas processuais e documentais, e trouxe novos desafios à comunidade científica e ao mundo dos Dados de organizações de Tecnologia e de quem dela faz uso para governação de Informação. Neste artigo o paradigma sai do campo do hardware, do storage e do
If you don't have a SAS/Graph license, then you're probably using the ODS Graphics 'sg' procedures that come with Base SAS to create your graphs and maps. And if you've tried plotting data on a map, you probably noticed that SGmap lets you overlay point-data on an OpenStreetmap, but you
Longitudinal data are used in many health-related studies in which individuals are measured at multiple points in time to monitor changes in a response variable, such as weight, cholesterol, or blood pressure. There are many excellent articles and books that describe the advantages of a mixed model for analyzing longitudinal
In just over six months, football fans across Europe face a logistical maze: how to follow their favourite teams from stadium to stadium as games are played all over the continent. We described the challenge and optimisation approach we took in a separate piece. In this gallery, we walk
Football fans around the world have something exciting to look forward to, with the European Championship scheduled to take place in June and July 2020. Twenty teams out of 24 have already qualified for the tournament, and after last Saturday's draw, the teams and fans are now getting ready to
The Local Government Association has concluded that in the last 10 years, there has been a reduction in funding of 60p for every £1.
This article discusses how to restrict a multivariate function to a linear subspace. This is a useful technique in many situations, including visualizing an objective function that is constrained by linear equalities. For example, the graph to the right is from a previous article about how to evaluate quadratic polynomials.
If you are a caregiver, the holiday season may bring less Peace and Good Tidings, and more Stress and Frustration. If you are already feeling overwhelmed with caregiving responsibilities, the holidays may feel more of a burden than a joy. I think it is fair to say that the holidays are
