Find out how analytics, from data mining to cognitive computing, is changing the way we do business
We need, in other words, to democratise analytics in the true sense of the word, by making them accessible to everyone.
Tras la reciente aprobación de la regulación europea del uso de la inteligencia artificial, hemos observado cómo cobra fuerza el concepto de explainable AI o inteligencia artificial explicable. ¿En qué consiste exactamente? Su objetivo pasa por garantizar que las interacciones de los usuarios con los modelos en los que se
In 2012, Data Scientist was dubbed the sexiest job of the 21st century by Harvard Business Review and it is one of the most in-high demand jobs in the world. Data has become a key part of every organization as technology flourishes. As the world become increasingly digitized, businesses are
Las aseguradoras afrontan desde hace tiempo una continua batalla contra diferentes tipos de fraude. Fraude en los siniestros, fraude en la suscripción de póliza, ciberataques, fraude interno, etc. En Estados Unidos, un estudio de la Coalition Against Insurance Fraud lo estima en un total de 80.000 millones de dólares. El
If you’ve ever traveled, you know the excitement of getting to explore a whole new place. After a year of quarantine, people are desperate for that feeling again. As Covid-19 restrictions lift, travel companies need to be prepared for the substantial amount of customer data that will become available. With
In a previous article, I discussed various ways to solve a least-square linear regression model. I discussed the SWEEP operator (used by many SAS regression routines), the LU-based methods (SOLVE and INV in SAS/IML), and the QR decomposition (CALL QR in SAS/IML). Each method computes the estimates for the regression
Es evidente que las empresas de las telecomunicaciones operan hoy en un entorno complicado que las obliga a tomar decisiones estratégicas importantes que van a definir su negocio en el futuro. Específicamente, son cuatro los factores que influyen en dicho contexto y que tienen un peso significativo en el momento
Following is Editor Len Tashman's preview of the new issue of Foresight: The International Journal of Applied Forecasting. Preview of Foresight #62 (2021:Q3) This 62nd issue of Foresight has been heavily “infected” by the COVID pandemic. Stephan Kolassa’s book review of Resurrecting Retail by Doug Stephens raises the question of whether the
In computational statistics, there are often several ways to solve the same problem. For example, there are many ways to solve for the least-squares solution of a linear regression model. A SAS programmer recently mentioned that some open-source software uses the QR algorithm to solve least-squares regression problems and asked
How do I stack up in terms of digital maturity against my manufacturing peers? This is a question that I have been asked many times. The fear of missing out creates unbearable pain. Trade wars and the COVID-19 pandemic exposed some of the manufacturing wounds: tight margins, supply chain risks,
In general, it is hard to simulate multivariate data that has a specified correlation structure. Copulas make that task easier for continuous distributions. A previous article presented the geometry behind a copula and explained copulas in an intuitive way. Although I strongly believe that statistical practitioners should be familiar with
Our key workers deserve more than just a round of applause — so why do we still expect the people who have the least to pay the most for banking services? To most people, social justice and the banking sector probably seem like strange bedfellows. Over the past couple of
Having the ability to know what the best decision is in any given scenario sounds like a superpower. What may surprise you is that this “superpower” already exists. SAS calls it intelligent decisioning. Decisioning is a powerful tool in the business world. It is useful to both the company and

Mantener la conectividad y comunicación de los usuarios no ha sido el único reto que han tenido que enfrentar los operadores de telecomunicaciones en este último tiempo. Identificar cómo van cambiando las exigencias de los usuarios, anticiparse a sus necesidades y tratar de asegurarles siempre las mejores experiencias es una
To successfully adapt and reinvent business decisions amid the uncertainty of the past year, organizations have leaned on support from their partner ecosystems. Together, SAS and its SAS Partner community have collaborated to find new answers to customers' toughest challenges and to drive innovation and digital transformation. In honor of this,
Sopra Steria è una società di consulenza, servizi digitali e sviluppo software con sede a Parigi. È stata costituita nel 2014 in seguito alla fusione di Sopra e Steria, due società di servizi digitali e software. Ho incontrato Roberto Balzerani, Director Public Sector, Energy & Telco Italy, per discutere delle
Hippocrates once said, “Let food be thy medicine.” For food vendors, this advice could be communicated another way: Stock more fresh fruit, protein and vegetables. The periphery of the grocery store has led in the expansion of revenues – namely within produce, but also spanning seafood, bakery products and ready-to-eat
A recent article about how to estimate a two-dimensional distribution function in SAS inspired me to think about a related computation: a 2-D cumulative sum. Suppose you have numbers in a matrix, X. A 2-D cumulative sum is a second matrix, C, such that the C[p,q] gives the sum of
“We live in disruptive times… where the only constant is a change” – this statement seems very accurate to the situation we face today. The funny thing is that this is a quote from an ancient philosopher Heraclitus of Efez, who had said it almost 2500 years ago! The “new
This is part two of a two-part series on digital transformation for manufacturers, where we explore the real risk of not digitally transforming and the journey that manufacturers are undertaking to capitalize on the opportunity to increase revenue, profit, and operational effectiveness.

Una prioridad para enero del 2022 en el sector asegurador, para aquellas entidades que deban cumplir con IFRS 17, pues estará en marcha el paralelo de esta norma. Aunque si retomamos la frase: “No deje que algo importante se vuelva urgente”, esta tarea debería estar en la agenda del staff
In a world increasingly characterized by digital economies and disruption, every market disturbance exponentially widens the business agility gap between the less digitally evolved and those companies that have demonstrated innovation leadership through digital transformation. For those that are not transforming with urgency, the negative consequences will become compounded to
Over the past year, it’s become normal for me to order my groceries online, make telehealth appointments for my family and attend dozens of virtual meetings every week. And I am not alone. Last year not only brought an increase in the use of digital technologies. It also brought with
This article shows how to estimate and visualize a two-dimensional cumulative distribution function (CDF) in SAS. SAS has built-in support for this computation. Although the bivariate CDF is not used as much as the univariate CDF, the bivariate version is still a useful tool in understanding the probable values of
