INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS COMMUNICATION STANDARDS to organizacja określająca międzynarodowe standardy komunikacji biznesowej i przedstawiająca propozycje dotyczące projektowania zrozumiałych raportów biznesowych i prezentacji. Niniejszym wpisem rozpoczynamy serię artykułów dotyczących tych rekomendacji – osadzając je w kontekście narzędzia do wizualnej eksploracji danych – SAS Visual Analytics.
En el mundo en el que vivimos, caracterizado en la rapidez de la información, nos hemos empezado a acostumbrar a términos como Big Data o el Internet de las Cosas. Lo primero nos hace pensar en muchas cifras y datos. Lo segundo, en la interconectividad de todo y los muchos datos que eso
In a previous blog, I discussed SAS date and time values, and how date and time formats can be used to your advantage in SAS Visual Analytics. That blog addressed some of the features provided for handling date information, like date formats, date hierarchies, and calculated data items based on time
Look at the report below. Imagine being asked to allow your users to select which Measure, highlighted in yellow, they are looking at: Income, Expense or Profit. This is a frequent report requirement and I’m going to outline just one of the ways you can design your report to satisfy
In diesem Gastbeitrag von Kybeidos geht es darum, wie der Feinstaubbelastung in Städten mit Big Data Analytics begegnet werden kann. Kybeidos präsentiert sich auf dem SAS Forum in Bonn am 28. April mit einem eigenen Stand. Lassen wir ab jetzt Kybeidos sprechen: Stellen Sie sich vor, Sensoren im Straßenbelag beurteilen die
For thousands of years, the human experience has been recorded by storytellers. Stories tell the tale of our lives: beginning, middle and end. Stories document the triumphs and tragedies of heroes and villains and everything in between. Human beings are storytellers -- it's a trait as uniquely human as an
In the past, configuring a new autoload library for SAS Visual Analytics was a manual process involving steps to create very specific folder structures and to copy and edit scripts and SAS programs. No more! Updates to the SAS Deployment Manager have added a new task that creates and configures new autoload libraries
In a couple of my previous blogs I discussed how to audit who made changes to data in a SAS environment. In the last couple of weeks I have been asked how to do the same thing for SAS Visual Analytics reports and explorations. The Visual Analytics administrator overview report
We continue to ready ourselves for this year’s SAS Global Forum coming up next month. On Monday, April 18, there will be two SAS Certification testing events. Then after the conference wraps up, SAS training instructors will be offering unique, hands-on training that you won’t find anywhere else. In this
You may have noticed that when using date information in SAS Visual Analytics, that the date data values can be displayed in a variety of ways. You may see your dates displayed like Jan1916, 03Jun1915, or 03/12/16, for example. In this blog I’ll help you understand SAS date and time
Si entre las preguntas que se plantea en su gestión están ¿cómo mejorar la presentación de mis reportes?, ¿cómo puedo comunicar a la organización información clave de una forma clara, sencilla y oportuna? Entonces le interesará saber cómo la Visualización Analítica ayuda a las organizaciones en el mejor entendimiento y
In this post, I continue the journey of getting data profiling results into SAS Visual Analytics. In my first blog I described the process of collecting DataFlux Data Quality profiling metrics to load a datamart. Now we load this datamart into memory (LASR) and then plug a VA report on
Raus aus der Theorie, rein in die Praxis .... eine kleine Frage zur Einstimmung: Was haben Mathematikunterricht, eine Improvisationstheatervorstellung, eine Schulung (egal welche) und Big Data Analytics gemeinsam?
In SAS Visual Analytics 7.3, the usage reports accessed from the administrator includes a relationship report. This report provides very basic lineage and dependency information for selected object types. The data to populate this report comes from the middle-tier relationship service. Once you enable the collection and extraction of this
Ich bin ein Betroffener! Vom Digital-naiv zum Digital-native mittel Transformation - Der Mensch hat nur eine kurze Zeitspanne in seinem Leben, in der er regelrecht nach Veränderungen schreit – nämlich im Windelalter, wenn die Besagte mal wieder bis zum Rand voll ist – ansonsten halten sich die Freuden über Veränderungen
In my last blog (What is going on with my Visual Analytics audit data collection) I reviewed how middle-tier auditing works and where to look for logs to debug issues. In this follow up blog I will do the same for the Visual Analytics audit data archiving process. The archive process is
How do public higher education institutions get funded? In the past, state funding was tied to enrollment, but now more states are tying funding to institutional performance. State Legislatures want more accountability for money spent on higher education and have turned to performance-based funding (also called outcomes-based funding). As such,
When SAS Scotland gave students 48 hours to build a prototype computer system to help increase police effectiveness, nine teams accepted the challenge. The venue was the University of Glasgow's Hackathon, one of the largest student hackathons in the UK, attracting 200 attendees. SAS Scotland has co-sponsored the event for the past three
In my last blog I discussed purging audit records from the Web Infrastructure Platform SharedServices database. The blog generated a fair bit of discussion around the SAS Visual Analytics auditing data gathering and archive process. So let’s take a step back and in this blog review how data collection for auditing works and
Hidely-hodely, everyone! As you might imagine, the size and variety of the gift inventory at the North Pole puts Wal-Mart to shame. And while we’ve been at this for hundreds of years, we still make too many of some things and not enough of others. No elf can forget the
You could argue that it’s misguided for someone like me to say data science doesn't have to be difficult. After all, I’ve been in the industry for many years and should have a few tricks up my sleeve for dealing with data. But with the latest data visualisation technology –
Know your data. Do a needs analysis. Organize for success. Empower users. These are four best practices for data and analytics that you'll want to hear more about. In my first three posts in the Analytics in Real Life blog series, we learned how higher education customers are using SAS and why
As of Visual Analytics 7.2, the home page is designed to serve as the entry point for not only Visual Analytics, but also additional SAS applications and solutions. To this end, the SAS Visual Analytics home page is documented in both the SAS Visual Analytics Administration Guide and the SAS Intelligence
I read an article recently discussing how runners inevitably slow down with age, particularly after 50. Data from the New York Marathon and Boston Marathon back this up with generally flat average finishing times for ages 20-49 followed by a steady, almost exponential, increase after 50. I haven’t reached the
The SAS Visual Analytics 7.2 release introduced context sensitive URLs for VA reports which means we can now directly pass parameter values in the URLs! This opens the door and allows for greater flexibility when needing to use a URL to access a VA report. One use would be if
New in the 7.3 release, SAS Visual Analytics now provides sample objects. During installation, the SAS Deployment Wizard prompts you to include sample reports by default. In addition to eight reports, an exploration and ten sample datasets are also included in the samples. These sample reports and datasets are available by industry
As a linguist, I am fascinated with words, their meanings and use. So when I recently saw the words “learning analytics” in a conference paper title, I started thinking about the prevalence of the word “analytics” itself. In the last decade, we have preceded “analytics” with many modifiers referring to
The new 7.3 release of SAS Visual Analytics not only uses the new HTML5 home page as the entry point to the Visual Analytics environment, but also introduces the new HTML5 viewer. The HTML5 home page interface features a personalized welcome message, tiles for content organization (Recent, Links, Favorites), icons to access
The SAS Visual Analytics 7.2 release introduces a new look and feel to the Hub with the modern (HTML5) version. It also introduces a new feature, Shared Collections, which allows an administrator to push a Shared Collection to all users’ Hub view, including Guest access. And bonus - it will
As monsoon season begins, many Nepal earthquake victims have shelter over their heads thanks in part to an unlikely intersection of two SAS global development projects. The first project is with the International Organization for Migration (IOM). IOM is the first responder to any crisis that displaces people. IOM provides
