Feed: R-bloggers. Author: rOpenSci - open tools for open science. The data.table package enables high-performance extended functionality for data tables in R. treedata.table is a wrapperfor data.table for phylogenetic analyses that matches a phylogeny to the data.table, and preserves matching during data.table operations.Using the data.table package greatly increases analysis reproducibility and the efficiency of data manipulation operations over other ways of performing similar tasks inbase R, enabling processing of larger trees and datasets. Why use treedata.table? Simultaneous processing of phylogenetic trees and data remains a computationally-intensive task.For example, processing a tree alongside a dataset of phylogenetic characters means processing much ...

Feed: The Connector by Workato. Author: Jon Gitlin; Sales reps only spend 35% of their time on selling-related activities. The rest of it is likely occupied by repetitive and unproductive tasks, like data entry, searching for information across applications, etc. You can prevent your sales team from performing these time-intensive and less fruitful activities by using sales automation. In the process, you’ll be rewarded with a shorter sales cycle, a higher close rate, and better all-around experiences for your prospects, customers, and employees. So how, exactly, can you perform sales automation? And what are all the benefits you can expect ... Read More

Feed: SAS Blogs. Author: Paata Ugrekhelidze. When I first started building predictive algorithms, I was solely focused on increasing the model's accuracy. I have steadily learned more sophisticated algorithms and how to manipulate training data to better fit the model and better represent real test cases. As problems become more sophisticated and the amount of data increases, the learning frameworks that handle distributed training become more important. Having a model to solve a task is great, but for it to be truly useful, we must deploy it where it is needed. However, this is not simple, because model deployment requires ... Read More
