Bankers’ bonuses are a regular target for media outrage, resentment, and calls for reform. Yet what most members of the public don’t realise is that the first
In our last blog we explored the potential impact of missingness in data in terms of its impact on models which require complete case analysis. We took a simple view that data was missing with an equal, independent, probability for any given model input. This week we explore cases where
As a huge road cycling fan, one of my favorite Olympic events is track cycling. With its speed and intensity, it is such a captivating set of events. While some events are sprint-focused and others are more endurance-focused, they all require powerful physical abilities, great bike-handling skills, cunning tactical expertise
Demand management concepts are now over 30 years old. The first use of the term "demand management" surfaced in the commercial sector in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Before that, the focus was on a more siloed approach to demand forecasting and planning that was manual and used simple
SAS System Engineer Sophia Rowland reveals how to embed decision flows into webpages and applications using the Microsoft Power Platform for a better customer experience.
SAS' Ghohui Wu shows you how to construct spatial weights matrices based on contiguity and distance measures, then shows how PROC CSPATIALREG automates spatial regression model selection.
In the previous section of this series we discussed ways of assessing the relationship between variables. This week we change the focus to the shape and sparsity of our dataset. One area of Explanatory Data Analysis which we’ve missed so far is the impact of missingness in data. Having missing
„Ich wusste gar nicht, dass man bei Ihnen einfach so anrufen kann.“
Unstructured text data is ubiquitous in both business and government and extracting value from it at scale is a common challenge. Organizations that have been around for a while often have vast paper archives. Digitizing these archives does not necessarily make them usable for search and analysis, since documents are
