Feed: SAS Blogs. Author: Chris Hemedinger. Like most people, I believed that process of diagnosing and treating cancer begins with a biopsy.  If cancer is suspected, a doctor will extract a small tissue sample -- usually a tiny cylindrical "core sample" -- and examine it for cancer cells.  No cancer cells found -- that's good news!  But if cancer cells are present, then you have decisions to make about treatment. A young woman named Richa Sehgal taught me that it's not so simple.  There aren't just two types of cells (cancerous and non-cancerous).  There are actually several types of cancer ... Read More

Sure, the results are used to improve the predictions of recommendation engines. Gut with that knowledge, shop architects can also then optimize ... Read More

Feed: SAS Blogs. Author: Gerhard Svolba. It is my third time in San Francisco, and again I am highly impressed by the great architecture of the Golden Gate Bridge. This time I take a boat over to Sausalito at the other side of the bay. The museum there tells about the diverse history of the village and also, of course, the construction of the bridge. The statement and picture of Eddie Souza, a worker at the bridge, catches my attention. “… That was the Depression and lots of unemployed men out of work were hanging on the fence of the ...
