I often claim that the "natural syntax" of the SAS/IML language makes it easy to implement an algorithm or statistical formula as it appears in a textbook or journal. The other day I had an opportunity to test the truth of that statement. A SAS programmer wanted to implement the
Jim Harris says streaming data analytics can drive better decisions and faster adaptation to changing conditions.
올 초 애플이 미국 빅데이터 컨설팅 스타트업인 ‘실리콘 밸리 데이터 사이언스(Silicon Valley Data Science)’에서 창업자를 포함한 수십 명의 직원을 영입하며 화제를 모았습니다. 이전에는 인공지능(AI) 기반 데이터 분석 플랫폼 업체 ‘래티스(Lattice)’를 인수하고 하둡의 공동 창시자인 마이크 카파렐라를 스카웃하기도 했습니다. 구글 역시 60만 명의 데이터 과학자가 활동하는 호주 멜버른 기반의 스타트업인 ‘캐글(Kaggle)’을
Wie kann ich einem Mitarbeiter die unkomplizierte Anzeige und Bearbeitung von SAS Daten im Web-Browser ermöglichen? Diese Frage hat sich das SAS Expertenteam der mayato GmbH gestellt und den Lösungsweg in einem Whitepaper veröffentlicht. Das Whitepaper zeigt, wie mit SAS 9.4, HTML5 und JavaScript eine interaktive Web-Applikation erstellt werden kann.
Unternehmen, die Big Data nutzen wollen, um schlauer zu agieren und sich einen Wettbewerbsvorteil zu verschaffen, fangen meist bei der Modernisierung ihrer Analytics an. Schließlich verspricht eine moderne analytische Anwendung bessere Erkenntnisse und macht es möglich, neue Markttrends schneller zu erkennen. Doch mit der Implementierung einer neuen Visualisierungssoftware alleine ist
About once a month I see a question on the SAS Support Communities that involves what I like to call "computations with combinations." A typical question asks how to find k values (from a set of p values) that maximize or minimize some function, such as "I have 5 variables,
Datenmanagement ist ein alter Bekannter aus der IT – und andererseits ein neuer „Hidden Champion“ im digitalisierten Unternehmen. Warum? Weil Datenintegration und -aufbereitung einerseits eine ureigene und unverzichtbare Aufgabe der IT ist, deren Bedeutung weiter wächst. Andererseits aber stehen vor dem Hintergrund von datenbasierten Geschäftsprozessen und -modellen auch die Mitarbeiter

What message do former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, CMS Administrator Seema Verma, and White House Senior Advisor Jared Kushner have in common? They all asserted the importance of person-centered care in their respective remarks at HIMSS two weeks ago in Las Vegas. Person-centered care treats the patient/healthcare consumer as an
지난 3월 8~11일 로마 바티칸에서 교황청 최초의 해커톤(hackathon) ‘브이핵(VHacks; A Hackathon at the Vatican)’이 개최되어 세계의 이목을 끌었습니다. 전 세계의 기업, IT 개발자, 학생들이 첨단 과학 기술을 이용해 이주민, 난민과 같은 사회적 이슈와 종교간 포용, 대화 등 종교적 이슈에 대한 해결책을 찾기 위해 한자리에 모였는데요. 특히 미국 매사추세츠공과대학(MIT), 하버드대학, 조지타운대학 등
Phil Simon chimes in on a way to lock down data
One of my favorite magazines, Significance, printed an intriguing image of a symmetric matrix that shows repetition in a song's lyrics. The image was created by Colin Morris, who has created many similar images. When I saw these images, I knew that I wanted to duplicate the analysis in SAS!
Mathematik im Alltag, da denkt jeder sofort an die Rechnung im Restaurant, die man mal schnell per Kopfrechnen aufteilen will. Oder an Dreisatz, Prozentualrechnung, jaja … Für viele Leute kein Problem, aber irgendwie negativ besetzt. Das muss sich ändern! O. k., da wird nun kein gesetzlicher Feiertag rausspringen (wobei DAS jeden
En el mundo de la analítica de datos existe un campo de conocimiento llamado Aprendizaje de Máquina (Machine Learning), el cual está relacionado con la capacidad que tienen las máquinas para aprender de los humanos y ayudarlos a solucionar sus problemas en tiempos cortos y de forma favorable. Un ejemplo
My buddy Rick Wicklin recently pointed me towards an animation of some opioid prescription rate data for Illinois. And, of course, I decided we needed a similar animation for North Carolina (with a few improvements...) Here's the original, and here are the problems that jump out at me: Counties with
Welcome to my annual Pi Day post. Every year on March 14th (written 3/14 in the US), geeky mathematicians and their friends celebrate "all things pi-related" because 3.14 is the three-decimal approximation to pi. Pi is a mathematical constant that never changes. Pi is the same value today as it
We have updated our software for improved interpretability since this post was written. For the latest on this topic, read our new series on model-agnostic interpretability. Don`t jump into modelling. First, understand and explore your data! This is common advice for many data scientists. If your data set is messy,
I bet many of you didn’t even know the term machine learning five years ago. But Gartner did. The Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data Science and Machine Learning Platforms, 2018 was just released, and SAS has been in the leader’s quadrant for five years straight. According to Gartner, “This Magic
Eidtor's note: Andrew Fowkes, Head of Retail Centre of Excellence at SAS UK & Ireland, explores the factors driving some retailers to excel and others to fail in a complex environment A stark polarisation is now emerging between winners and losers on the high street. Companies that have focused on
Eine aktuelle Studie von SAS beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, wie bereit Unternehmen für die Nutzung von künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) sind. Das Ergebnis zeigt: Es gibt viel zu tun. Gerade beim Einsatz moderner Analytics-Plattformen, die Innovationen vorantreiben können, gibt es noch Nachholbedarf. Aber wer sind die Anspruchsgruppen einer solchen Analytics-Plattform,
Model Governance ist nicht die neueste Daumenschraube der EZB, sondern eine Notwendigkeit mit Effizienzpotenzial - Warum Banken bei regulatorischen Anforderungen zum Abwarten neigen – und warum das kein nachhaltiges Vorgehen ist - , habe ich meinem letzten Blogpost beschrieben. Wie aber sieht denn ein sinnvolles Vorgehen aus? Die gute Nachricht

Data analysts often fit a probability distribution to data. When you have access to the data, a common technique is to use maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) to compute the parameters of a distribution that are "most likely" to have produced the observed data. However, how can you fit a distribution

‘국영수코(co)’라는 신조어 들어보셨나요? 국어, 영어, 수학, 코딩(coding)의 약자인데요. 교육부의 ‘2015 개정교육과정’에 따라 올해 3월부터 중학생, 내년부터는 초등학교 5, 6학년 학생의 소프트웨어(SW) 교육이 의무화되면서 코딩 교육과 관련 자격증 열풍이 불고 있습니다. 미국, 영국 등 IT 선진국들은 이미 발 빠르게 코딩 교육을 의무화하며, 4차 산업혁명 시대의 인재 확보에 나섰는데요. SAS 역시 2014년, 학습이나 비상업적인
