Health care is facing an unprecedented need to reform, drive quality and cut costs. Growth in targeted, specific treatments and diagnostic technology, coupled with a rise in people with long-term and multiple chronic conditions, is creating unsustainable demand on the system. To thrive – or even merely survive – health
Mein Name ist Daniel und ich bin in der vierten Klasse. Diese Woche wurden die Eltern in meine Schule eingeladen, um uns etwas über ihre Arbeit zu erzählen. Und mein Vater war mit dabei. Am Anfang war ich etwas unsicher, ob ich mich darüber freuen sollte. Denn wenn sein Vortrag
SASでは、従来からオープン・AIプラットフォームであるSAS Viyaの機能をPythonから効率的に活用いただくためのハイレベルなPython向けAPIパッケージであるDLPyを提供してきました。 従来のDLPyは、Viya3.3以降のディープラーニング（CNN）と画像処理（image action set）のために作成された、Python API向けハイレベルパッケージです。 DLPyではKerasに似たAPIを提供し、より簡潔なコーディングで高度な画像処理やCNNモデリングが可能でした。 そして、この度、このDLPyが大幅に機能拡張されました。 最新版DLPy1.0では、以下の機能が拡張されています。 ■ 従来からの画像データに加え、テキスト、オーディオ、そして時系列データを解析可能 ■ 新たなAPIの提供: ・ RNN に基づくタスク: テキスト分類、テキスト生成、そして 系列ラベリング（sequence labeling） ・ 一般物体検出（Object Detection） ・ 時系列処理とモデリング ・ オーディオファイルの処理と音声認識モデル生成 ■ 事前定義ネットワーク（DenseNet, DarkNet, Inception, and Yolo）の追加 ■ データビジュアライゼーションとメタデータハンドリングの拡張 今回はこれらの拡張機能の中から「一般物体検出（Object Detection）」機能を覗いてみましょう。 SAS Viyaでは従来から画像分類（資料画像1.の左から２番目：Classification）は可能でした。例えば、画像に映っている物体が「猫」なのか「犬」なのかを認識・分類するものです。 これに加えて、DLPy1.0では、一般物体検出（資料画像1.の左から３番目：Object Detection）が可能になりました。 資料画像１.

I've worked at SAS for over 27 years and have often been asked: What does SAS do? or Why should I choose SAS? It all boils down to one question: Why SAS? While there are many approaches to answering this question, I recently came up with three short, yet powerful,
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. While some machine learning models – like decision trees – are transparent, the majority of models used today – like deep neural networks, random forests, gradient boosting
Artificial intelligence often seems misunderstood, especially in fraud. The same is true of machine learning. One of the amazing things about them is they ask the unasked questions. This occurs as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) go about their daily work. So, what is the unasked question? Too
President Donald Trump - people seem to either love him or hate him. Which makes for an interesting data-analysis topic ... tracking Trump's approval rating. Follow along as I explore some data! I'll start with what I consider the 'best' approval-rating graph I've found so far. Here's a screen-capture of
Jim Harris says people still play a pivotal role in data-driven decision making.
What skills will students need in order to pursue a lucrative career in analytics? I recently interviewed two professors to find out. In my first post, the professors discussed the importance of teaching and learning analytics. Today, we'll hear their top advice for students studying analytics, such as: get a
A useful feature in PROC SGPLOT is the ability to easily visualize subgroups of data. Most statements in the SGPLOT procedure support a GROUP= option that enables you to overlay plots of subgroups. When you use the GROUP= option, observations are assigned attributes (colors, line patterns, symbols, ...) that indicate
Vor ein paar Wochen hat das erste deutsche SAS User Group Meetup in Berlin stattgefunden. Dort hatte ich die Gelegenheit, mit Igor Khorlo, Senior Statistical Programmer bei Syneos Health Deutschland und Gründer der SAS User Group Germany (SUGG), über seine Motivation zu sprechen, die Gruppe ins Leben zu rufen –

This post is the second in a three-part series looking at how analytics are helping utilities navigate this challenging landscape and find new opportunities for improvements in operations,
FRTB(Fundamental review of the trading book)는 은행의 시장 리스크 관리 방식을 바꿀 것입니다. 바젤은행감독위원회(BCBS)가 FRTB를 발표하고 이 기준에 따라 전세계적으로 시장 리스크를 측정해 공시하도록 한 것인데요. 대다수 은행은 2020년 12월 데드라인과 바뀌고 있는 요구 사항을 보며 ‘기다려야 한다’는 결론을 내리고 있지만, 그저 기다리기만 하는 것은 위험한 전략이 될 수 있습니다. 금융
I’m on day 8 of my 10 day sabbatical from running. By day 3, I already felt anxious about not lacing up my shoes and heading out to feel the wind in my face, never mind the fact that I was still exhausted and sore from the previous week’s races.
GAHHHHHHHHH! My screams filled the office hallways on a Sunday afternoon. In agony, I hopped to the ice machine to find relief for my crushed toe. Moments before, while hanging my shiny new patent plaque on the wall, it dropped six feet and landed on my big toe joint. Since
Erst kürzlich habe ich mich mit Thomas Gartzen, Geschäftsführer des European 4.0 Transformation Center, unterhalten. Dabei ging es neben Innovation Labs auch um Change Management und darum, wie sich ein analytischer Ansatz in Unternehmen umsetzen lässt. Andreas Gödde: Thomas, kann man sagen, dass jetzt alle Unternehmen Softwareunternehmen sind? Thomas Gartzen:
If you want to bootstrap the parameters in a statistical regression model, you have two primary choices. The first, case resampling, is discussed in a previous article. This article describes the second choice, which is resampling residuals (also called model-based resampling). This article shows how to implement residual resampling in

기업의 마케팅 전략도 인공지능(AI), 사물인터넷(IoT)과 같은 혁신적인 기술이 등장하며 함께 발전하고 있습니다. 고객 중심의 IT 환경에서 많은 기업은 높은 고객 충성도를 달성하고자 고객 여정(customer journey) 최적화에 많은 노력을 기울이고 있는데요. 인공지능 역시 고객 여정을 최적화하기 위한 기술로 많은 비즈니스에 도입되고 있습니다. 인공지능 강화학습(Reinforcement learning) 모델을 적용한 대표적인 예로는 미국 게임 개발사 아타리(Atari)가 선보인
If you want to bootstrap the parameters in a statistical regression model, you have two primary choices. The first is case resampling, which is also called resampling observations or resampling pairs. In case resampling, you create the bootstrap sample by randomly selecting observations (with replacement) from the original data. The
In my 15+ years working in clinical research, I've not seen significant evolution in the way we do clinical trials and apply advanced analytics to clinical trial data. A personal story demonstrates that a similar problem is at play in health care. Each year my daughter visits the children’s cardiology
