Ich sitze im Büro und fingere durch den Papierberg aus meinem Postfach. Während ich ein Briefchen nach dem anderen ungelesen in den Mülleimer werfe, wundere ich mich, dass es so etwas wie Postfächer in einem Unternehmen, das Analyticssoftware herstellt, überhaupt noch gibt. Warum ist das so, frage ich mich belustigt.
I recently saw an interesting data visualization on the flowingdata website, which analyzed & compared the causes of fatal crashes in the US, by month and time-of-day. At first I thought it was a really cool visualization, but after I studied it a while, I realized that I had misinterpreted

There's always someone with a “magic spreadsheet,” but how effective is this culture that always uses the same format to consume data? My view of
A frequently asked question on SAS discussion forums concerns randomly assigning units (often patients in a study) to various experimental groups so that each group has approximately the same number of units.

Machine learning seems to be the new hot topic these days. Everybody's talking about how machines are beating human players in chess, Jeopardy, and now even Go. In the future, artificial intelligence will drive our cars and our jobs will be taken over by robots. There’s a lot of hype,
Todos hemos oído alguna vez que “cualquier tiempo pasado fue mejor” pero, cuando se trata de negocios, el pasado ha dejado de ser una ventaja.

Billy Beane attained fame in baseball and analytics circles long before Brad Pitt portrayed him in the 2011 film Moneyball. In fact, Beane was making quite the name for himself prior to Michael Lewis’s 2004 book of the same name. It’s no overstatement to claim that, as general manager (GM)
