Technological advancements in connectivity and global positioning systems (GPS) have led to increased data tracking and related business use cases to analyze such movements. Whether analyzing a vehicle, an animal or a population's movements - each use case requires analyzing underlying spatial information. Global challenges such as virus outbreaks, deforestation and climate change all benefit from deeply analyzing location and movement data. This year's IEEE Visual Analytics Science and Technology (VAST) Challenge covered such a scenario and a team of SAS volunteers decided to put SAS® Viya® to the test and submit a solution for ...

Feed: SAS Blogs. Author: Leonid Batkhan. In my previous post, we solved the task of removing specified leading characters from SAS strings. In this post, we tackle the complementary task of removing trailing characters. While removing trailing blanks is well covered in SAS by the TRIM() and TRIMN() functions, removing non-blank trailing characters remains a bit of a mystery that can pop up during text string processing. For example, you may need to clean up the following strings by removing all trailing x's from them:012345x012345xxx012345xxThese extra characters can result from data entry errors, prior data manipulations, etc. No matter how ...

Feed: SAS Blogs. Author: Radhikha Myneni. This post, written by Radhikha Myeni and Jagruti Kanjia, will demonstrate how easy it is to build and deploy a machine learning pipeline by using SAS and Python. The Model Studio platform provides a quick and collaborative way to build complex pipelines by dragging and dropping nodes from a web-based interface. These pipelines would typically include feature engineering, model building, autotuning of hyperparameters, model interpretation, and model comparison. The capability to fully integrate open-source software into these pipelines adds flexibility and extensibility. This enables data scientists to expand their SAS toolbox with additional technologies ... Read More
