If you sometimes sneak in a quick dinner while driving your kids to practice or a hold a sandwich in your left hand while typing the last few lines of your project with your right, then you are no stranger to distracted eating. Or maybe the big surprise ending to
Taking a decision is easy. However, living with the outcome might be problematic because every decision is a choice that leads us to an action that will affect others. And trust – what about this elemental human feeling? As children, we trust our parents. This kind of trust forms the
I often use axis tables in PROC SGPLOT in SAS to add a table of text to a graph so that the table values are aligned with the data. But axis tables are not the only way to display tabular data in a graph. You can also use the TEXT
I recently had the incredible opportunity to attend SAS Global Forum in Dallas as a presenter and New SAS Professional Award recipient. At the conference, I was able to learn more about SAS features and applications, share my knowledge of SAS applications in the clinical trials space, and make new
Sibos 2019 kicks off in London in three weeks, and the theme for this year is "Thriving in a hyper-connected world." The market has long demanded quicker and more convenient payment methods, and the industry is now answering with ubiquitous payments. Yet at what cost? PSD2 and open banking are
SASPy is a powerful Python library that interfaces with SAS and can help with your machine-learning solutions. SASPy was created for Python programmers to leverage the power of SAS within their Python scripts. If you are not familiar with SASPy, see the following resources: Introducing SASPy: Use Python code to
If you consume NBA content through social media, then you know just how active that online community is. Basketball arguments and ‘hot takes’ on the Internet are about as commonplace as Michael Jordan playing golf instead of running a functional NBA front office. I wondered if NBA fans happened to
Editor's Note: This article was translated and edited by SAS USA and was originally written by Makoto Unemi. The original text is here. SAS previously provided SAS Scripting Wrapper for Analytics Transfer (SWAT), a package for using SAS Viya functions from various general-purpose programming languages such as Python. In addition
The TEXT statement in PROC SGPLOT supports the ROTATE= option to rotate the specified text. It is worth knowing how the ROTATE= option interacts with the POSITION= option, which determines the anchor point at which the text is positioned. Briefly, the text is positioned FIRST, then the rotation occurs. The
I have been meeting with lots of parents recently to discuss their parenting challenges. The converstaion always comes aorund to some simple techniques they can use to help their children deal with frustration. When my child was 3, I made up and taught her these simple steps: 1 deep breath
Today, September 8th, is International Literacy Day! A day celebrated by UNESCO since 1967 to emphasize the importance of literacy around the world. Here at SAS, we have decided to highlight data literacy, a critical part of our evolving knowledge as data and analytics continue to dominate the way we

If you use Microsoft Teams for collaboration, you should use it for operational messages too. You can use SAS to automate tailored notices to your Teams Channel.
September is National Yoga Month. As a personal trainer and yoga instructor, one of the most common reasons clients tell me they don’t do yoga is because they aren’t flexible. If you haven’t heard this before and even if you have, I’ll say it again: yoga is not about bending
There is a lot of excitement about AI, but somehow the reality is not really living up to the hype. At the moment, we don’t see enough real results or use cases emerging, even though everyone agrees that there is huge potential. I polled some of our experts to find
When you order an item online, the website often recommends other items based on your purchase. In fact, these kinds of "recommendation engines" contributed to the early success of companies like Amazon and Netflix. SAS uses a recommender engine to suggest articles on the SAS Support Communities. Although recommender engines
今回は「オペレーショナル・アナリティクス for Data Scientist」をメインテーマとしてご紹介します。企業で分析業務を行うデータサイエンティストの皆様はご存知の通り、モデルは開発しただけでは意味がありません。そのモデルを業務に実装（デプロイ）してはじめて、ビジネス課題を解決し、価値を創出することができるわけです。SASが長年蓄積してきたナレッジをご覧ください。 1．Using SAS® Viya® to Implement Custom SAS® Analytics in Python: A Cybersecurity Example この論文は、SASの分析機能により支えられているプロダクションレベルのアナリティクスソリューションを開発しようとしているデータサイエンティストを対象としています。本文では、SAS ViyaとCloud Analytics Service（CAS）に基づく、CASの構築基盤とサイバーセキュリティを説明します。そして、SASアナリティクスを本番環境でPythonで実装する方法を説明します。 2．What’s New in FCMP for SAS 9.4 and SAS Viya この論文では、下記いくつかポイントをメインとして議論していきます。まず、SASが提供しているFunctionコンパイラー（FCMP）の新しい特徴を紹介し、それから主にFCMPアクションセットを中心とし、リアルタイムアナリティクススコアリングコンテナ（ASTORE）とPythonのインテグレーションについても説明します。それらの説明により、SASの新しいテクノロジーに対し、更なる理解を頂けることを期待しています。 3．Influencer Marketing Analytics using SAS® Viya® この論文はSAS Viyaを使って、マーケティングアナリティクスを行う事例を紹介します。近来、マーケティングはますますインフルエンサーが大きな役割をしめるようになってきています。それらのインフルエンサーたちはソーシャルメディアのコンテンツ作成者であり、多くのフォロワーを持ち、人々の意見に影響を与え、購入を検討する人々にも影響を与えています。インフルエンサーマーケティングは、より伝統的なマーケティングチャンネルと同じようにコストがかかるため、企業にとって最も効果的なインフルエンサーを選択することは非常に重要です。 こういった背景において、この論文では、ソーシャルメディアで本当に影響力をもつ人、そしてその影響程度はなにかについて分析することを目指しています。ケーススタディは、感情面の影響を与えることに焦点を当てています。また、多くのフォロワーを持つインフルエンサーとその色んな投稿とアクティビティを分析します。実施するには、Pythonのライブラリとコードが使用されます。次に、彼らのアクティビティとネットワークを分析して、それらの影響範囲を分析します。これらの分析には、SAS Viyaのテキストおよびネットワーク分析機能が使用されます。データ収集ステップ（Python）はクライアントとしてJupyter Notebookを使用していますが、分析ステップは主にSAS Visual Text Analytics（Model Studio）とSAS Visual Analyticsを使用して行われています。 4．Take

An important application of the dot product (inner product) of two vectors is to determine the angle between the vectors. If u and v are two vectors, then cos(θ) = (u ⋅ v) / (|u| |v|) You could apply the inverse cosine function if you wanted to find θ in
