Visualizing kernel density estimates in SAS Visual Analytics
Visualization of data density estimation, which is often used in statistical analysis and machine learning, will show the data’s characteristics like distribution, skewness and modality, etc. Commonly-used data density visualizations include boxplot, histogram, kernel density estimates, and some other plots. This blog post visualizes the kernel density estimates superimposing on histogram using SAS Visual Analytics.
New functionality for transitioning from SAS Visual Analytics on 9.4 to SAS Viya
In SAS Viya 3.4, promotion support has been added for many additional SAS 9.4 resources, making it easier to make the leap to Viya. In this blog, SAS' Gerry Nelson reviews this new functionality.
A quick introduction to CAS in SAS Viya
Data in the cloud makes it easily accessible, and can help businesses run more smoothly. SAS Viya runs its calculations on Cloud Analytics Service (CAS). David Shannon of Amadeus Software spoke at SAS Global Forum 2018 on his paper, Come On, Baby, Light my SAS Viya: Programming for CAS.
The power and potential of simplicity: SAS 9.4 and Containers
Recently I’ve been listening to the BBC Radio Series 50 Things That Made the Modern Economy, which was first broadcast in 2016. One of the episodes considers the impact of a simple box (the shipping container) and concludes its invention was a major contributor to the post-war boom in global
How SAS Viya uses REST APIs to integrate with Python
SAS Viya has opened an entirely new set of capabilities, allowing SAS to analyze on cloud technology in real-time. One of the best new features of SAS Viya is its ability to pair with open source platforms, allowing developers the freedom of language and implementation to integrate with the power
How to tokenize documents into sentences
SAS Visual Analytics includes text parsing actions that can help tokenize sentences, and SAS Visual Text Analytics provides even better, more sophisticated methods. This article contains code samples and cites papers for more details.
