Feed: SAS Blogs. Author: Robert Allison. In these modern times, my utility bill has a bar chart so I can see how my current consumption compares to my historical usage. I decided to create my own version of this utility bill bar chart, and make a few improvements along the way. If you're into SGplot bar charts, you might learn a thing or two from this example! But first, you need to guess what kind of utility data I'll be plotting. Is it water, sewer, power, or gas?!? Here's a hint, in the form of a picture my friend Annie ... Read More

Feed: SAS Blogs. Author: Robert Allison. In this 'Rosetta Graph' example, I demonstrate how to control bar chart colors in Gchart and SGplot. But first, here's a little diversion... some artwork in my office here at SAS. There's a *lot* of artwork hanging around at SAS, but this particular painting wasn't created by the SAS artists - it was created by my friend Sara. She's a master of paint & color! And speaking of mastering colors, let's get working on those SAS graphs!... I'm not talking about simply hard-coding some colors in a one-off chart, so they happen to match ... Read More

Feed: SAS Blogs. Author: Jen Sohl-Marion, MPH, RDN, LDN. It’s that time of year again — picnics, parties, and backyard cookouts. The smells of summer are starting to permeate the air — fresh cut grass, honeysuckles, sunscreen, and the aroma your neighbors’ dinner floating from their grill into your nose. The grilling experience draws in everyone from expert chefs to weekend partiers. And for good reason — the simple flavors of foods straight from the grill seasoned with fresh herbs taste like a delicious serving of summer. Cooking over the barbecue also allows excess saturated fat from meats to drain ... Read More

Feed: SAS Blogs. Author: Rick Wicklin. For linear regression models, there is a class of statistics that I call deletion diagnostics or leave-one-out statistics. These observation-wise statistics address the question, "If I delete the i_th observation and refit the model, what happens to the statistics for the model?" For example: The PRESS statistic is similar to the residual sum of squares statistic but is based on fitting n different models, where n is the sample size and the i_th model excludes the i_th observation. Cook's D statistic measures the influence of the i_th observation on the fit. The DFBETAS statistics ... Read More

Feed: SAS Blogs. Author: Megan Bobroske. (Editor's note: Megan Bobroske is a second grade teacher at Denver's Bradley International School) Coding was a brand new experience for my second graders. Prior to using CodeSnaps, a free coding app from Curriculum Pathways, a few of them had participated in an after-school coding club, and another handful had done beginning coding in their gifted and talented class. But like so many elementary classes, my students and I were really beginning our computer science adventure from scratch. We kicked off our coding journey with a modified version of the Navigate an Obstacle Course ... Read More

Feed: SAS Blogs. Author: Lisa Allred. June is PRIDE month and there are lots of cool events at SAS and in the community that you can attend to celebrate and learn and have fun.  In this blog I am going to share some tips on being an ally-- not just in June, but all year round. Let's start with defining what ally means.  Here is the definition I like (from Webster): "one that is associated with another as a helper: a person or group that provides assistance and support in an ongoing effort, activity, or struggle... often used specifically of ...
