Let’s be real: no single language rules the world anymore. It’s all about the right tool for the job. You’ve seen the lists: “Top Programming Languages of 2024.” “Python vs. Rust: The Ultimate Showdown.” “Why Java Refuses to Die.” But you rarely see SAS on these lists. And I get
Accurately identifying lag structures between related time series is essential in public health forecasting, particularly during epidemics where delays between infections and hospitalizations affect planning. Using a simulated SEIR model and SAS Viya’s PROC TSSELECTLAG, distance correlation is shown to outperform Pearson correlation by correctly identifying nonlinear lag relationships—such as the true seven-day lag between new infections and hospital admissions.
SAS's Kevin Scott explains how to set up and analyze a dataset for forecasting in SAS Viya with a particular emphasis on selecting lags for dynamic models
Synthetic data has become a valuable resource in data science and machine learning. Superior quality, reliable synthetic data facilitates analysis and iteration at scale while mitigating privacy concerns associated with real data and can fill gaps where real data is scarce. Note, however, that “good” synthetic data is not defined

Ida B. Wells was a pioneer in the United States who used data collection and analysis methods well ahead of her time. Today, she might be called a data scientist, but I'll call her a boss! Her approach to documenting and analyzing lynchings back in the day (late 19th century)
As populations around the world the U.S. continue to grow, both condensing in urban areas and sprawling in more rural areas, the importance of a functioning distribution network for utilities grows proportionally. The complexity and interconnected nature of say, the electric distribution network, is already staggering; one can hardly imagine
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.

A pandemia trouxe grandes desafios crónicos e específicos à atividade das autoridades tributárias – como os atrasos ou mesmo suspensão do pagamento de impostos, a necessidade da digitalização de processos, o repensar formas de tributar novas atividades resultantes de empresas que começaram então a operar digitalmente, etc. – que exigiram
In a world rich in data, data enthusiasts and problem solvers can have greater success and innovate faster with flexibility in choice. To code or not to code. The answer aligns with the problem and the data talent working to solve it. What does innovation look like inside your organization?
The ancients’ practice of publicizing set-in-stone personal records would run anathema to modern data privacy laws. These days, in lieu of using contemporary personally identifiable records, I anonymized a 4,000-year-old tax record from ancient Babylon to describe three principles for effective data anonymization at scale: Embracing rare attributes: values and
