In this blog, I explain how to use Rulesets in an Event Stream Process project. If you are streaming data using SAS Event Stream Processing and your data stream involves making decisions, you can build Rulesets in SAS Decision Manager and use them in your event stream project. ESP can invoke the code generated by SAS Decision Manager and execute it in its Micro Analytic Service (MAS) engine. To use ... Read More

In my previous post, “Why personalising the student experience is critical to higher education’s viability," we examined the role customer intelligence can play in driving value for universities and students across the higher education journey. Specifically, analytics has a vital role to play in helping decision makers, particularly marketers, to generate accurate insights in order to optimise every step of the journey or life cycle as some call it. This includes better performing recruitment campaigns, honing course content and value, supporting students with appropriate services and interventions, and increasing yields from alumni fundraising.   ...

One of the best and most effective ways parents can help their children be less perfectionistic is to be less perfectionistic themselves. …The parents that can speak openly about their disappointments and short-comings in a non-defensive and problem-solving focused manner provide great modeling for their children. It’s also important that parents help their children remember the big picture. Kids need to know that one failure is not a disaster and that they are more than their success or failure at one goal. Kathryn Byars, PhD, is a licensed psychologist and co-owner of the Triangle ... Read More

Computer vision is one of the most sought-after artificial intelligence (AI) applications today, finding a wide variety of use cases in image recognition, object detection, biomedical assessment, and more. SAS supports a diverse set of AI and deep learning capabilities that can be used in many of these applications. One of them is our support for object detection using the popular You Only Look Once (YOLO) algorithm. YOLO algorithms are popular for identifying common objects that can be quickly recognized in a single glance. This blog post is aimed at creating a good ... Read More

Feed: SAS Blogs. Author: Josefin Rosén. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are words that evoke a sense of inhumanity, of cold and mechanical functions. In reality, AI is coming closer and closer to reaching human understanding through capabilities like deep learning and natural language processing (NLP). With early chatbots, you had to ask exactly the right question to get the matched right answer. But with rapid advancements in NLP and deep learning, chatbots and virtual assistants are becoming more and more sophisticated. For example, Google Assistant, debuted in 2016, has shown remarkable ability in mimicking human speech patterns. This allowed ... Read More

They value quality over quantity, and they engage with each other authentically. Image by Gerd Altmann at Pixabay My goals on social media are to learn, engage with the world socially, and to share what I think is cool – sometimes this is about SAS but not always. My goal is to connect with people and have fun. The best tech influencers support these goals. They help me find other people, with curious minds like me, who are on similar journeys - ... Read More

Feed: SAS Blogs. Author: Robert Allison. Flooding has been in the news the past few days, and that makes me want to analyze some data! I hang out at Jordan Lake (here in central North Carolina) a lot, so I decided to download the data for that lake, and do a graphical analysis. If you're interested in Jordan Lake, or interested in techniques for plotting lake-level data, follow along!... Jordan lake is a source of water, and a source of recreation, for my city (Cary, NC). But more importantly it is also a means to help control flooding for all ... Read More

A relação do SAS com o Banco Comercial Português – cujas atividades das operações bancárias se desenvolvem atualmente sob a marca Millennium bcp  – começou em 1995, com 5 utilizadores PC Windows. Hoje, passados 24 anos, continuamos junto do maior banco privado português, com a missão de o ajudar a dar resposta ao novo paradigma e desafios do atual mercado. Recuando à década de 90, vemos que muita coisa mudou e o progresso científico e tecnológico permitiu-nos chegar onde nunca imaginámos. Cloud, IoT, IA, 5G, Blockchain, Digital Twins… são as atuais tendências, com o ... Read More

Feed: SAS Blogs. Author: Rick Wicklin. An analyst was using SAS to analyze some data from an experiment. He noticed that the response variable is always positive (such as volume, size, or weight), but his statistical model predicts some negative responses. He posted the data and asked if it is possible to modify the graph so that only positive responses are displayed. This article shows how you can truncate a surface or a contour plot so that negative values are not displayed. You could do something similar to truncate unreasonably high values in a surface plot. Why does the model ... Read More
