According to the Price Waterhouse Cooper 2018 Global Economic Crime and Fraud Survey, the reported rate of economic crime is on the rise, up to 49% in 2018. That makes the use case I want to share particularly relevant, no matter what industry or sector you're in. This use case
Studying endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDC) using NHANES data with SAS
With NHANES data from the CDC, we can use SAS to research the impact of endocrine-disrupting chemicals. Special sampling techniques are needed when using these data.
El auge del análisis de sentimientos, la solución para que las máquinas entiendan mejor a los humanos
Los seres humanos tenemos una característica –entre muchas que nos hacen únicos– que requiere de la comprensión de nuestros interlocutores para causar el efecto deseado: somos capaces de decir una cosa queriendo expresar un sentimiento completamente diferente. Lo llamamos sarcasmo, ironía o mordacidad. Pero, si a veces es difícil para
7 ways SAS empowers startups with artificial intelligence and machine learning

Working with ever-changing CDISC standards
When Jack Shostak and I first started thinking about writing a SAS book on implementing CDISC (Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium) standards, we held one truth to be self-evident: that at least some parts of the book would be outdated before it was even published. Thanks to some lucky timing

Sounds great, but there
Analytics and life beyond age 100
The first person to live to 150 has already been born. When I first heard this controversial idea, popularized by biomedical gerontologist Aubrey de Grey of the SENS Research Foundation, it gave me chills. It’s amazing to think we could have 50 more years to spend with loved ones and
How are AI and advanced analytics transforming health and life sciences?
The potential for artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) to transform the way health care and therapies are delivered is tremendous. It’s not surprising that the health care and life sciences industries are being flooded with information about how these new technologies will change everything. While it’s
Health care convergence gets me up in the morning. Yes, really.
I love my job, but I am not a morning person so I need a bit of inspiration to get out of bed. I’ve been a marketer for more than 15 years, and that inspiration has never been easier to find than since I joined SAS as an industry marketer
Rule number one: follow your heart
Singer-songwriter David Wilcox kept me out of prison. That’s not a country song gone bad – it’s a real-life experience. Almost two decades ago, I attended a David Wilcox concert in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina. His songs have always hooked my heart, and one in particular caught my attention that
La ciencia de datos es una carrera sin límites
La llegada de la Cuarta Revolución Industrial ha significado una ruptura de paradigmas en los diferentes sectores de la economía, no solo porque se ha traducido en el nacimiento de empresas con core digital capaces de repensar las industrias en las que operan, sino porque también tiene mucho que ver con
The SGPIE Procedure - Part 2
The SAS 9.4M6 software includes a new SGPIE procedure (preproduction) as introduced in the recent article - The SGPIE Procedure. In that article, I described the basic features of the two statements supported in the procedure, the PIE and the DONUT, with some examples. It is my humble opinion that
Waterfall Graph with more data for subject - Part 2
A few days back I published an article on including more subject data in a Waterfall graph. This was motivated by the desire from many users to view more data in the same graph, thus avoiding the need to refer to different graphs for the relevant information. In this case,
La ciencia de datos como eje de la formación gerencial del futuro
El universo de los datos es una realidad que está evolucionando más rápido de lo que muchos esperaban.

DNA and your family tree ... 6-10 generations back
Any of you who are even slightly into politics, or have followed any news lately, have probably seen something about the DNA test Elizabeth Warren took to prove/disprove her Native American ancestry. The test indicates she might have had a Native American ancestor 6 to 10 generations ago. That's a
Ciudades conectadas, el camino hacia ciudades inteligentes
En los últimos 25 años las ciudades colombianas han venido expandiendo su territorio y han aumentado su demanda de recursos naturales y servicios vitales. Esto lo sustentan las cifras del DANE que muestran que en 2017, 76% de la población colombiana se concentró en ciudades frente a un 24% que
Unterstützung statt Bedrohung: Wie KI das Gesundheitswesen verbessern kann
Fest steht: Künstliche Intelligenz (KI) wird unser aller Leben verändern – und tut es schon. Weniger klar ist, in welcher Weise und in welchem Zeitrahmen diese Veränderungen passieren – und was am Ende dabei herauskommt. In vielen Bereichen gibt es wilde Spekulationen. Bei Life Sciences und im Gesundheitssektor lichtet sich
임상 시험 데이터 공유, 암 치료의 새로운 가능성을 발견하다
암 치료는 매우 힘든 과정입니다. 따라서 환자별 최적의 치료법을 선택하고, 환자가 효과 없는 치료법으로 인해 필요 이상의 고통을 받지 않도록 하는 것이 중요한데요. 검사를 통해 치료의 진척 상황을 측정할 수는 있지만, 많은 환자들이 치료 과정을 변경하기에는 너무 늦은 시기까지 처방의 효과를 알지 못합니다. 그렇다면 만약 특정 암 치료의 효과를 수일
Der neue Trend: Life Sciences mit KI
Künstliche Intelligenz wird meist mit Alexa und Siri oder Chatbots bei Banken und Callcentern assoziiert. Eher selten wird über das Potenzial der KI-Technologien in den Life Sciences und im Gesundheitswesen gesprochen – die Idee ist aber im Kommen. Das zeigt eine aktuelle Studie von Accenture: 74 Prozent der Führungskräfte in

One topic of
Proof that Southerners lie about their age!
Have you ever lied about your age? When you were younger, perhaps you exaggerated your age to watch an R-rated movie, buy cigarettes, get into a night club, or drink alcohol? And when people reach their 30s or 40s, they might subtract a few years when people ask their age.
How will IoT and AI drive transformation in health care and life sciences?
As health care evolves, its entire ecosystem – from payers and providers to pharmaceutical companies and government agencies – seeks to find common ground. More data is available than ever. But transforming information into innovation is challenging. Organizations strive to create shared goals, internally and externally, trying to improve patient
