Feed: R-bloggers. Author: Rstats on Jakub Nowosad's website. TLTR: Clustering similar spatial patterns requires one or more raster datasets for the same area. Input data is divided into many sub-areas, and spatial signatures are derived for each sub-area. Next, distances between signatures for each sub-area are calculated and stored in a distance matrix. The distance matrix can be used to create clusters of similar spatial patterns. Quality of clusters can be assessed visually using a pattern mosaic or with dedicated quality metrics. To reproduce the calculations in the following post, you need to download all of relevant datasets using the ... Read More

Feed: SAS Blogs. Author: Joe Mueller. By making requests through API calls you can expand the functionality of the bots you make with SAS Conversation Designer; allowing your bots to query external sources for up-to-date information, score a model, and many other possibilities. This is very beneficial as SAS Conversation Designer is included in many offerings of the modernized SAS Viya platform, meaning you can easily create bots that are integrated with the other services of the SAS Viya platform or third-party services. For instance, if you are making a bot that takes feedback from a user you can use ... Read More

Feed: AWS Public Sector Blog. Author: Farhad Jahangirov. Applications running on LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP) stack are ubiquitous—WordPress alone represents 38% of all content management systems. Other popular CMS applications such as Drupal and Joomla also run on LAMP as well as Moodle, a widely used learning management system (LMS). Because of the popularity of these applications, public sector organisations such as educational institutions should protect their business continuity by implementing disaster recovery (DR) solutions: policies, tools, and procedures to help the recovery or continuation of technology infrastructure and systems following a disaster. Amazon Web Services (AWS) Professional ... Read More

Feed: Microsoft Azure Blog. Author: Roanne Sones. In today’s fast-paced world, there is often a need for instantaneous, real-time responses. Companies are finding the computing needed to support this 24/7 mentality generates staggering amounts of data, often from devices out in the physical world. This influences a shift in priorities as companies look for technology that gives them the flexibility to innovate anywhere in their environment.

This hybrid cloud journey gives companies the flexibility to easily handle future growth and technology needs. Add in the movement ... Read More

Feed: Cloudwards. Author: Robert Cull; Pretty much everyone is familiar with some form of cloud storage. It lets you easily store and access your files over the internet. Aside from just storing your content online, many providers also let you sync content directly between your desktop and cloud storage service. This lets you keep exact copies of your files both in the cloud and on your device. Although this handy feature can boost your productivity, unfortunately not all cloud storage providers offer the best security or sync features. Finding the best cloud storage with sync can be daunting, so we’ve ... Read More

Feed: Cloudwards. Author: Ben Stockton; The internet has changed the way that we work as individuals, making it far easier for us to collaborate on projects as a team. Cloud storage is a powerful way for a group of like-minded people to access the same files, whether they’re for business or personal use. Many cloud storage services are designed with individual users in mind, but that doesn’t make them a good solution for multiple users. Although some providers allow you to share files with other users, they’re not always the perfect solution for collaboration. To help you find the best ... Read More

Feed: AWS Compute Blog. Author: James Beswick. AWS X-Ray allows developers to debug and analyze distributed applications. It can be useful for tracing transactions through microservices architectures, such as those typically used in serverless applications. Amazon EventBridge allows you to route events between AWS services, integrated software as a service (SaaS) applications, and your own applications. EventBridge can help decouple applications and produce more extensible, maintainable architectures. EventBridge now supports trace context propagation for X-Ray, which makes it easier to trace transactions through event-based architectures. This means you can potentially trace a single request from an event producer through to ... Read More

Feed: AWS Big Data Blog. In our previous post, we introduced PyDeequ, an open-source Python wrapper over Deequ, which enables you to write unit tests on your data to ensure data quality. The use case we ran through was on static, historical data, but most datasets are dynamic, so how can you quantify how your data is changing and detect anomalous changes over time? At Amazon, we’ve leveraged PyDeequ on AWS Glue to address this problem. AWS Glue is a serverless data integration service that allows you to easily prepare and combine your data for analytics, machine learning (ML), and ... Read More
