You've got a database containing the addresses of all your customers ... but how can you plot them on a map or analyze them spatially? First, you'll need to convert the address into a numeric coordinate (latitude & longitude). SAS can do that ... with Proc Geocode! But before we
Leaders in the education industry understand that when people at all levels have timely access to the right data and reports, they can generate trusted knowledge and insights that help transform programs, curriculums, student outcomes and more. That's how the industry's leaders deliver desired results faster to further student success.
지구는 여전히 많은 화산이 활동중인 ‘폭발적인 행성’입니다. 미국 워싱턴 D.C. 기반의 학술 협회 ‘스미소니언 인스티튜션(Smithsonian Institution)’은 전 세계의 화산 활동을 추적하고 데이터화하고 있는데요. 글로벌 화산 활동 프로그램(GVP; Global Volcanism Program) 데이터는 지난 10,000년 동안의 화산 및 분화 역사를 보관하고 있으며, GVP 데이터베이스는 1,500개가 넘는 화산의 명칭, 위치, 유형, 특징을 상세하게 기록하고 있습니다. 오늘은
You're sitting in a line of cars at the intersection, waiting for the light to change - when it finally turns green, the 2nd car just sits there for several seconds until someone honks at them, and then they scoot through the light ... but everyone behind them has to
Exnovation – wissen Sie was das ist? Das ist das Gegenteil von Innovation. Nein, das wollen wir nicht haben. Wir wollen Innovationen, und die bitte am laufenden Band. Koste es, was es wolle. Gerade im Zeitalter der Digitalisierung. Innovation ist irgendwie zum Zwang geworden. Denn wer sich nicht innerhalb kürzester
Restricted cubic splines are a powerful technique for modeling nonlinear relationships by using linear regression models. I have attended multiple SAS Global Forum presentations that show how to use restricted cubic splines in SAS regression procedures. However, the presenters have all used the %RCSPLINE macro (Frank Harrell, 1988) to generate
Data-driven businesses outperform competitors. Matt Magne says SAS Data Governance and SAS MDM can help you get there.
During the week when everyone hanging onto their money until the last day files their taxes here in the U.S., I find it valuable to reflect on what won’t happen this week. Based on studies from the IRS, an estimated $458 Billion WON’T be appropriately reported or paid. This is
Ok, so you know how to create multiple sheets in Excel, but can anyone tell me how to control the name of the sheets when they are all created at once? In the ODS destination for Excel, the suboption SHEET_INTERVAL is set to TABLE by default. So what does that
So you think you are smarter than the average forecaster, and can identify a trend in time series data? You now have a chance to put your trend detection skills (aka trendar) to the test, and help the cause of forecasting research in the process. Nikos Kourentzes, Associate Professor at
예술가들은 몇 가지 도구만으로도 멋진 그림을 그릴 수 있습니다. 물론, 물감, 색연필, 목탄 등 선호하는 도구는 저마다 다를 수 있겠지만 말이죠. SAS에서 멋진 그래프를 만드는 방법도 크게 다르지 않은데요, 오늘은 그 방법을 예를 들어 설명해보고자 합니다. SAS에서는 SAS/Graph Proc GMap을 사용하여 멋진 지도를 만들 수가 있습니다. GMap은 SAS가 지도 제작용으로 특별 개발한
Wie versprochen beginnt heute eine kleine Blog-Reihe, in der ich ganz konkret Studiengänge zum Thema Data Science vorstellen möchte. Meine Quellen sind dabei nicht nur die reine Web-Recherche, sondern auch persönliche Gespräche mit Dozenten oder Studenten der jeweiligen Hochschulen. Ich erhebe keinerlei Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit, im Gegenteil, jeder Hinweis, Kommentar
As Tax Week arrives, tax agencies may be overlooking fraud happening under their noses – fraud perpetrated by insider threats. While the agencies are focused on the hot fraud topics of the day – identity verification quizzing, protecting PIN files, and cybersecurity – insider threats pose a particularly insidious risk.
A new prospective customer enters their personal information on your web page, and they want to have a sales rep contact them ... but you need to know which sales region they're in, so you can assign them to a sales team. Now, multiply that by thousands of prospective customers!
Dylan Jones says spend time setting a vision of how to transform your data landscape – not debating definitions.
유럽 연합(EU)의 자금세탁방지(AML; Anti-Money Laundering)와 고객 위험 평가에 대한 새로운 컴플라이언스 요구가 거세지고 있습니다. 이에 따라 앞으로 6개월 후 유럽 금융 업계는 큰 도전 과제에 부딪힐 것으로 보이는데요. 바로 유럽 연합의 ‘4차 자금세탁방지 지침(Fourth Anti-Money Laundering Directive)’ 때문입니다. 해당 지침과 관련된 모든 변경 사항들이 전면 시행되기까지 6개월도 채 남지 않았습니다.
A reader commented on last week's article about constructing symmetric intervals. He wanted to know if I created it in SAS. Yes, the graph, which illustrates the so-called 68-95-99.7 rule for the normal distribution, was created by using several statements in the SGPLOT procedure in Base SAS The SERIES statement
Every day before I even wake up, I have little "SAS robots" that do work for me. These are SAS batch jobs that gather data from external services and build data marts, generate reports, and send e-mail. One of those SAS jobs gathers Google Analytics data about our SAS blogs
You've probably all seen the images of the passenger being forcibly removed from a United Airlines flight, to make room for airline staff flying on standby. The incident caused quite a bit of negative publicity, and quickly wiped out a quarter billion $ of the airline's market value. But did
SAS provides a map for each country, but there are likely other maps you want to use that SAS does not provide. If you have other maps in the Esri shapefile format, you're in luck - you can import those maps and use them! In this blog post I share
I recently asked a SAS user, “Which interface do you use for SAS?” She replied, “Interface? I just install SAS and use it.” “You’re using the SAS windowing environment,” I explained, but she had no idea what I was talking about. This person is an extremely sophisticated SAS user who
Jim Harris discusses how the lines between data management and analytics are fading.
In recent versions of SAS/Graph, we have been shipping new/updated maps of each country, with 2 levels of detail (such as state & county, or province & division). But what if you only want a map showing the higher level of detail? In this blog post I share my third
At SAS Global Forum last week, I saw a poster that used SAS/IML to optimized a quadratic objective function that arises in financial portfolio management (Xia, Eberhardt, and Kastin, 2017). The authors used the Newton-Raphson optimizer (NLPNRA routine) in SAS/IML to optimize a hypothetical portfolio of assets. The Newton-Raphson algorithm
Family-owned and operated for more than 35 years, Twiddy & Company prides itself on exceptional real estate services to homeowners and vacationers in northeast North Carolina and the Outer Banks. Whether a customer is thinking of putting their house up for rent or planning their next vacation, Twiddy makes the
Have you ever seen a map that just didn't look right to you? Perhaps the map area seemed squished or stretched? Perhaps this was because they used a different map projection than you were accustomed to. Or maybe the map coordinates weren't projected at all. In this blog post I
With the advent of things like car GPS & Google Maps, and a steady supply of nice maps from certain news sources (such as the New York Times), people have finally embraced the idea that mapping data can be very useful. And if you are into data visualization, you have
David Loshin explains why MDM is such a valuable tool in helping to detect fraud.
Lenin und ich sitzen im Publikum und applaudieren heftig: Seine Chefin hat ihren Vortrag beendet über „Datenqualität als Erfolgsfaktor im Internet of Things“. „Kein Datenqualitätsprojekt ohne Hilfe von oben“, raunt Lenin mir zu, "Unterstützung vom Boss ist manchmal wichtiger als tolle Software." Ich will beleidigt darauf hinweisen, dass seine Chefin
