Feed: Featured Blog Posts - Data Science Central. Author: Aileen Scott. Diversity and inclusion (D&I) increasingly are becoming a focus area for businesses.

Yay!). The code I had to google differents key words (including dress and code but not dress code) and I finaly found out this Github repository. The code ... Read More

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: Dario Radečić. Business Intelligence (BI) is used to transform data into actionable insights that provide value to an organization and help achieve its business goals. Reports and dashboards are go-to approaches for modern-day business intelligence tools. At Appsilon, we are big advocates of R and R Shiny, but we also have significant experience with business intelligence tools. Besides, coding custom solutions from scratch (or coding in general) isn’t always the right solution, especially for simple tasks. The custom-built BI solutions have their place, but more on that towards the end of the article. Are you an Excel ... Read More

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: Andrew Treadway. In this post we discuss how to write an R script to solve any Sudoku puzzle. There are some R packages to handle this, but in our case, we’ll write our own solution. For our purposes, we’ll assume the input Sudoku is a 9×9 grid. At the end result, each row, column, and 3×3 box needs to contain exactly one of each integer 1 through 9. Learn more about data science by checking out the great curriculum at 365 Data Science!

Feed: SAS Blogs. Author: Frank Silva. In football, five out of the 11 players on offense are on the field to accomplish one goal: keep the defenders as far away from the ball as possible.  Sometimes it’s more than five. Teams will bring extra linemen on short-play packages. Tight ends and full backs might check in for extra blocking. Running backs will help in pass protection. And even quarterbacks might throw a hit on a defender every now and then. Blocking is an essential part of the game, so I wanted to explore if investing more in the offensive line ... Read More
