What if a famous soccer team asks you to predict how many tickets for their next match will be sold to women? Seventy students from Bicocca University of Milan tried to answer this question a couple of weeks ago. They were divided into 19 groups during a hackathon that SAS
Every April we celebrate National Poetry Month, a time when verse-loving educators, media specialists, booksellers, and publishers introduce novel ways to promote poetry.

In meiner Funktion als Academic Program Manager unterstütze ich Hochschulen in den Themengebieten künstliche Intelligenz (KI), Data Science und Business Analytics. Einer der am häufigsten geäußerten Wünsche ist, dass seitens SAS, Use-Cases zur Verfügung gestellt werden. Keine theoretischen Gebilde, sondern echte, reale Daten von Firmen mit einem handfesten Business-Problem, das
A few years back my daughter and her husband announced that a great job would be taking them from the North Carolina of their birth to upstate New York. Now, if you know anything about the demographics of North Carolina over the past decade or more, you will identify this
If you are asked to give an example of using mathematics in everyday life, most people will immediately think of dividing the bill in a restaurant, or possibly calculating percentages. For most of us, this kind of maths will not be a problem, but somehow the whole idea of maths
Mathematik im Alltag, da denkt jeder sofort an die Rechnung im Restaurant, die man mal schnell per Kopfrechnen aufteilen will. Oder an Dreisatz, Prozentualrechnung, jaja … Für viele Leute kein Problem, aber irgendwie negativ besetzt. Das muss sich ändern! O. k., da wird nun kein gesetzlicher Feiertag rausspringen (wobei DAS jeden
A recent documentary on TV amused me. It asked teens what they want to do professionally. The answers included YouTube star, DJ and – over and over again – “influencer.” Quite apart from the fact that all these are relatively new jobs, they also have something else in common: There

Teaching is not merely transferring knowledge to my students, but giving them prompts and tools to help them reach their
How has the experience at the institute changed your teaching? I used to be reluctant to rely on—or take risks with—technology. I now operate a paperless classroom and am constantly seeking new ways to engage my students with real-world-relevant skills and technology. What new skills did you acquire at

That exciting #edtech day is finally here! The new iPads are unboxed, charged, and configured. The only question left is where to begin? Of course the best answer involves ongoing professional development and a good school-wide education technology plan. And that's no secret. Well-planned and resourced professional development is the

Kürzlich habe ich mich sehr amüsiert über eine Reportage im Fernsehen: Man fragte Jugendliche, was sie mal beruflich machen wollen, und die Antworten waren „YouTube-Star“, „DJ“ und immer wieder auch „Influencer“. Letzteres ruft gerade bei der Ü30-Generation Verwunderung hervor, da man irgendwie an Grippe denkt – die Aussprache ist gleich,
In fast jedem Vortrag zum Thema Analytics geht es irgendwann auch um Talentsuche und den vielbeschworenen Fachkräftemangel. Diskutiert wurden eben diese Herausforderungen auch beim CI Connection Circle von SAS in Nizza. Welche Maßnahmen Unternehmen ergreifen sollten, um begabte Datenspezialisten anzuziehen und nachhaltig an sich zu binden, war bereits in diesem

前回、SAS OnDemand for Academics (SODA) の Course 機能を活用することで、授業準備の手間が軽減されることをご紹介しましたが、実は、Cource 登録にはもう一つのメリットがあります。 SODA は、SAS Studioを基本のインターフェイスとしていますが、Course 登録により使用できる製品が増えます。 SAS Enterprise Guide : ポイント&クリック操作によるWindowsアプリケーション SAS Enterprise Miner : GUIによるデータマイニング・ツール SAS Forecast Server : 時系列予測の自動作成ツール これらは、統計の学習よりも、実際のビジネス等の現場で素早く統計手法を適用するためのツールで、基礎を学習した上で、より応用に際して活用できるものです。
We strive to make Curriculum Pathways an effective resource that works within modern educational settings. In recent years that has meant a move toward individual student accounts with personalized content. Students can also access Curriculum Pathways through district-wide consent programs or single sign-on partners. Moving forward, and to best support
Hello 2018! We're off to a busy start -- working on exciting new features and tools, including the following updates: Data Analysis and Science Data Depot, our repository of clean, ready-to-use data sets, is a user favorite. Did you know that several datasets include lessons as well? Analyzing Commercial Fishing Catches takes
統計ソフトを大学等の授業で用いる際に問題となるのが、統一的な環境を用意することの難しさです。受講者全員が同じバージョンのソフトウェアを同じ設定で利用し、同じ場所にあるデータにアクセスするような環境を準備しないと、個々の環境の差異から発生する問題に対処するだけで授業時間が終わってしまうでしょう。 また、統計ソフトを利用した演習講義では、プログラミングが必要になる場面が多いと思います。しかし、少ない授業時間を割いてプログラミングに慣れていない学生にコーディングを教えることは、本来その講義で教えるべき内容を削ってしまいかねません。 ご存知の方も多いと思いますが、SASでは、教育・研究および個人学習目的の利用に限り、無償ソフトウェアを提供しています。ダウンロードしてローカルPCの仮想マシンにセットアップするタイプの SAS University Edition と、クラウド上のアプリとして実行するタイプの SAS OnDemand for Academics がありますが、後者を使うと、上述した統計ソフトを利用した講義における統一環境の準備の問題およびプログラミングの問題を解決することができます。 SAS OnDemand for Academics (以下、SODAと略します) の特徴は以下のとおりです。 クラウド上で実施するソフトウェアなので、インターネット接続さえあれば、PC環境を統一させる必要がありません。 教員はWebページ上で「Course」を作成することができ、学生がその「Course」に登録することで、教員が用意したデータに学生の環境からアクセスすることができます。 ポイント＆クリックで操作できるインターフェイスにより、プログラミングせずに統計やデータマイニングの機能を利用することができます。 SODAの利用手順： まずはSODAに登録します。登録の方法は、SlideShareの資料を参考にしてください。(※Analytics Uのページがなければ、SODAのページにアクセスし、上記のスライド4から開始してください。) 教員の方は「Course」を作成してください。こちらのページのInstructorsセクションのドキュメントおよびビデオ「Upload Your Course Data」「Invite Students to Your Course」を参考にしてください。 学生は教員から「Course」に参加するためのリンクを取得し、こちらのページのStudentsセクションを参考にCourseに参加してください。 SODAを利用すれば、無料で環境構築・プログラミング教育のためのコスト・リソースを削減し、統計スキルの教育・学習に集中できます。Let’s teach & learn data science!
