Under normal circumstances, economists and financial forecasters are divided into bulls and bears – those who have a positive outlook, and those who fear the worst. In the current climate, you won’t find many bulls. As the world attempts to get the COVID-19 crisis under control, the high streets are empty of shoppers, factories have slowed or suspended production, and millions of people have been furloughed or made redundant. The estimates vary, but most experts are predicting a long and bitter recession. The telecommunications sector is one of a set of industries where these ... Read More

For months now, those inane social rituals that make up most of our interactions have now been replaced by family, friend, and solo time.  Let’s acknowledge that possibly not all this time is quality time with loved ones as we juggle working from home with small, overly energetic coworkers.  How do they have all that energy? These sudden shifts in our circumstances are, in effect, the pendulum swing that ... Read More

The pooled variance is often used during a t test of two independent samples. For multivariate data, the analogous concept is the pooled covariance matrix, which is an average of the sample covariance matrices of the groups. If you assume that the covariances within the groups are equal, the pooled covariance matrix is an estimate of the common covariance. This article shows how to compute and visualize a pooled covariance matrix in SAS. It explains how the ... Read More

You have been doing it since those first sleepless nights after they were born. The honesty is much harder. The honest conversation you have with your child about racism will differ based on the color of your skin, your community, and your values. Many Black and Brown parents have been having these conversations almost as long as they have been comforting. White parents may not have ever ... Read More

Feed: SAS Blogs. Author: Earl Zaromb. Companies have recognized that the key to maintaining customer loyalty and increasing engagement is to anticipate customer’s needs and desires. To that end, companies have invested heavily in AI technologies to create recommendation engines that present offers, communications, and products to fulfill those needs. Nowadays, recommendation engines can be found just about everywhere from news websites to e-commerce sites to online streaming services. However, customers frequently encounter recommendations that are inappropriate or repetitive. Just because you accidentally clicked on something 6 months ago, doesn’t mean that you should receive 100 variations of that same ... Read More
