SAS' Shawn Romero introduces you to the SAS Payment Integrity for Food Assistance model.
With a new year around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about what tech trends are coming in the months ahead. 2025 will be interesting, because now that AI has been around long enough to go from novel to normal, we should stop marveling at what it can do
In 2012, Harvard Business Review declared the data scientist the sexiest job of the 21st century. Here’s what we knew at the time: big data was (and still is to this day) an enormous opportunity to make new discoveries. We were in the boom of user-generated content from social platforms,
While researching the topic of Latin hypercube sampling (LHS), I read an article by Emily Gao (2019) that shows how to use PROC IML in SAS to perform the algorithm. It is possible to simplify Gao's implementation of Latin hypercube sampling in SAS while also making the computation more efficient.
In most countries, the government sector isn’t the first place people look for technological innovation or the rapid adoption of a proven technology. However, governments everywhere are increasingly under pressure to be more productive and to get better value for taxpayers’ money. Many private sector organizations are looking to AI
At the very heart of the financial world lies a commodity so vast it’s almost immeasurable ... and it’s growing exponentially with potential yet unrealized. Big data – complex structured and unstructured datasets arriving from innumerable sources – is reshaping the global banking industry. Used effectively, big data can support the delivery
As technology becomes a central part of how we communicate, learn, and interact with the world, many students in many regions still lack the digital skills needed to unlock their full potential. Bridging this digital divide not only offers a concrete path toward economic prosperity but also is foundational to
I don’t know about you, but it feels like the year has gone by in a blink – it’s hard to believe we’re already talking 2025 predictions and holiday plans! The year zoomed by so quickly that you might have missed some of our favorite stories of 2024. As you’re
An epic battle is taking place in the world of banking fraud and financial crime. Banks and fraudsters are using the latest technology, and the winner of the war has yet to be determined. While AI and GenAI hold incredible transformative potential for banks and are being used in countless
The human body is often described as a well-oiled machine, where each part has a specialized function that contributes to the overall function of the machine. But when one part is damaged, the entire machine can stop working – and it’s often the smallest piece that has the biggest impact.
Many of us have fond memories of a Family Feud host saying, “And the survey says…!” as the game show’s answer board lit up, bringing joy or disappointment to the contestants. For some, the host who comes to mind is Richard Dawson or Ray Combs, while today’s fans likely think
As data decays, it becomes less useful. See how synthetic data for insurance can help.
To stay ahead, organizations must thrive rather than compete. Demand forecasting is one of the most critical tools in this pursuit. Organizations that excel at demand forecasting have a clear edge, whether anticipating customer needs or managing supply chain disruptions. By predicting what customers want and when they’ll want it, companies can
Decades ago, it was a challenge to generate (pseudo-) random numbers that had good statistical properties. The proliferation of desktop computers in the 1980s and '90s led to many advances in computational mathematics, including better ways to generate pseudorandom variates from a wide range of probability distributions. (For brevity, I
Climate risks threaten insurers' profitability and financial stability. See how insurers can adapt.
The ongoing impact of inflation on the economy is a persistent news headline. Organizations around the world are exploring how data and AI can help lower costs and improve efficiency. Georgia-Pacific, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of pulp and paper products, is ahead of the curve. They are poised
The article "Order two-dimensional vectors by using angles" shows how to re-order a set of 2-D vectors by their angles. Because angles are on a circle, which has no beginning and no end, you must specify which vector will appear first in the list. The previous article finds the largest
The search to maximize our own productivity is never-ending. We all want to be more efficient in our work and carve out more time with loved ones. As you assess data and AI technology to automate processes and maximize efficiency, you may wonder if it’s truly possible for you or
