SAS' new approach to MRM streamlines your compliance and review process by delivering real-time model reporting and statistical outputs.
The term “Internet of Things” has been around for over a decade, but the conversation between SAS Vice President of IoT Jason Mann and Quasar CEO Edouard Alligand shows that the real transformation is only just beginning. The two explored how IoT is moving beyond reactive monitoring toward predictive analytics
Recently, AOL discontinued the dial-up tone synonymous with the internet. After 34 years, we will no longer hear the mechanical screech of connecting to the World Wide Web. Nostalgia notwithstanding, this news gives me pause to contemplate what my children will see sunset in their lifetimes. Consider Google today. A
While many applications of Monte Carlo techniques use pseudorandom numbers, some applications that involve integrals are more accurate when you use quasirandom numbers, which, despite their names, are not random but are deterministic sequences of numbers. Many of these sequences are constructed by representing base-10 numbers in a different base.
Our daily lives are constructed from a continuous series of choices; some small, some big, some connected, many unrelated. These choices are intentional decisions we make to steer ourselves towards our goals (or away from potential pitfalls). Organizations do this, too, although how and by whom is often unclear. As
When companies invest in AI, the first question often asked is: “What’s the ROI?” It's a fair question – but often the wrong one, at least in the way it's traditionally framed. In the early 2000s, no one could give you an ROI calculation for building a website. But they could
Would you trust a car to make a life-or-death decision for you? That’s the kind of question that sits at the heart of AI today. As AI rapidly becomes a part of our everyday lives, from smart assistants to AI agents, it’s easy to get swept up in the excitement.
As the COO at SAS, a lifetime golfer and a longtime resident of North Carolina’s Research Triangle region, it’s easy to single out one event every year that I take particular pride in: the SAS Championship. This year’s tournament marked the 25th edition of the PGA TOUR Champions event that
Many data analysts are familiar with logistic regression, where the response variable, Y, has two observed values, often represented as Y=0 and Y=1. The case Y=0 encodes that an event did not happen. For example, a patient did not experience some disease or did not die. The opposite case (Y=1)
A new study spanning more than two decades and more than 500,000 issuer-months presents one of the most accurate and forward-looking models of corporate credit rating transitions to date. By combining machine learning with the SAS® KRIS® 1-year default probability (KDP), the authors show how investors can gain a powerful
Every day, millions of New Yorkers rely on the MTA subway – a system so vast and complex that even small delays can ripple across the city. Trains arrive, depart and stall in an intricate rhythm that’s constantly shifting. Capturing that rhythm in real time and translating it into something
When AI projects stall or fail, most leaders assume the culprit is flawed models or immature technology. But research shows the real barrier is trust. The new Data and AI Impact Report uncovered what we call the trust dilemma: the gap between how AI is perceived and how responsibly it’s
Have you ever found yourself bursting with motivation to overhaul your diet and dive into a new workout regimen, only to feel overwhelmed and burn out within weeks? Or maybe you’ve made such minimal changes — like swapping one processed snack for another — that you didn’t see any real
Procurement has long been burdened by complexity – slow contract cycles, compliance risks and manual handoffs that eat away at time and efficiency. As AI matures beyond basic chat interfaces and static outputs, procurement leaders are beginning to witness the transition from manual inefficiency to automated agility. What makes agentic
Before we get started, I’d like to acknowledge that we’re inundated with buzzwords – all day, every day. I work in marketing, so I totally understand I’m part of the group to blame (sorry). But hear me out: “AI engineering” not only makes sense, but it’s critical to the future
A previous article discusses various ways to overlay a density curve on a histogram in SAS. SAS provides several procedures that handle this task for common univariate probability distributions such as normal, lognormal, and gamma. If you define and use a less common distribution, you can write a GTL template
At SAS Innovate in Orlando, our partners shared how they’re helping public sector organizations modernize operations and serve communities more effectively with SAS®. From using AI and automation to streamline government workflows, to enabling data-driven decision-making that improves citizen services, they’re showing what’s possible when innovation meets collaboration. In
Generative AI (GenAI) adoption is skyrocketing, but are leaders putting too much trust in it? The new Data and AI Impact Report found decision-makers trust GenAI three times as much as traditional machine learning, even though machine learning is more mathematically explainable. Just because GenAI seems trustworthy doesn’t mean it
Agentic AI is generating excitement and being cheered as the next frontier in automation and decision-making. However, beneath the buzz, lies a sobering forecast: Gartner warns that “over 40% of agentic AI projects will be canceled by the end of 2027, due to escalating costs, unclear business value, or inadequate
The SAS Championship is more than just world-class golf. It’s a week of events for everyone to enjoy. Keep reading to get a recap of what went down during the 25th iteration of this event. Where talent meets opportunity: HBCU Invitational and career day This year marked the fourth annual
SAS has several procedures that can fit a probability distribution to data, plot a histogram, and overlay one or more density estimates: PROC UNIVARIATE in Base SAS enables you to overlay parametric density curves from about 20 common continuous probability distributions, such as normal, lognormal, and gamma. It also enables
I like metaphors. OK, fine, I lied: I love metaphors. They’re my go-to method for explaining concepts in relatable ways, and that’s what makes them so versatile and valuable. They meet people where they are to foster faster, better understanding. But is there a dark side to metaphors and other
In the latest Sounds of SAS video, Greg Kraus, SAS' Director of Product Accessibility, shared a pivotal moment that highlighted his team's groundbreaking work. A few years ago, his team experienced a milestone that redefined what inclusive technology could achieve. During a brainstorming session to showcase data sonification capabilities,
Financial institutions operate in a highly regulated, data-sensitive environment. At the same time, these institutions are under pressure to modernize credit scoring models that balance fairness, accuracy and compliance. The challenge? Most financial institutions lack access to the volume and diversity of high-quality, privacy-safe data needed to fuel these models.
Progress, not perfection. That was the underlying message at the 12th annual Women’s Day at the SAS Championship at Prestonwood Country Club. But with a full lineup of engaging speakers, inspiring stories and active networking opportunities for more than 250 professional women participating, the event came impressively close to perfect.

Unoptimized panels chip away at efficiency, causing hidden losses that people often overlook—but those losses are never insignificant. In this post, we’ll uncover how to spot and solve these
Dairy has been a dietary staple for thousands of years, providing essential nutrients and enhancing the flavor of many dishes. Although dairy is recognized for its strong nutritional profile, concerns about its potential to trigger gastrointestinal discomfort and inflammation have contributed to increasing confusion. In response to this confusion and
As we reach the 25th playing of SAS Championship, we decided to take a more recent lens by revisiting the last five years of play and performance data to explore how shot-by-shot analysis can reveal how each hole offers opportunity or trouble. From bogeys and bunkers to eagles and extraordinary
Leadership doesn’t start with a title; it starts with action. In statistical programming, that might mean stepping up to explain a complex data set in a cross-functional meeting, suggesting a new way to visualize results or taking ownership of a project that goes beyond coding. These are the moments where
Food assistance programs like SNAP are lifelines for millions of households. Yet, ensuring their accuracy is an ongoing challenge for state agencies managing them. Even small errors in eligibility decisions can quickly add up, costing states billions, straining resources and undermining trust in the program. The question isn’t whether these
