Researchers Peer into the Hood of Computational Linguistics

Researchers Peer into the Hood of Computational Linguistics

 

To start, give a look at these two sentences:

“This house is in a detestable location.”

“This detestable house is in this location.”

 

Well, these two sentences have virtually similar words, but owing to their structure, they exude entirely two different meanings. Understanding the true meaning of the sentences just by having a look at the words was something only reserved for the human intelligence, until now. Breakthroughs in Natural Language Processing (NLP), also known as computational linguistics have blazed a trail in this domain, which was once dominated by humans.

Here’s why SAS Analytics Is a Must-Have IT Skill to Possess

Here’s why SAS Analytics Is a Must-Have IT Skill to Possess

Without the great Analytical surge, everything was looking fit and fine. The economy was performing well. The IT industry was looking stable. The tech honchos were playing fine. And then IT happened! Data Analytics snatched the dazzling limelight all to itself.

It’s true once in a while, our market needs a good shaking, or else things tend to get sluggish and slow. Over time, the industries start decreasing in efficiency and business houses crumples. Therefore, the change induced by Big Data Analytics is one for good: it started pulling back the market to its former position. From medical science to military to security, the reach of Big Data Analytics can be witnessed everywhere.

The evolution of analytics is largely consistent and covers a wide span of industries. It’s not like it suddenly came into a lot of focus, its advancement was slow and steady. Now, it has strived to become extremely important to store, interpret, analyze and develop crucial insights – social media is deriving maximum benefits out of analytics, while customizing their products to make more money from advertisements. On the other hand, the service-oriented companies love to manipulate data that is generated through myriad social channels to trigger customer base.

The ABC of Summary Statistics and T Tests in SAS – @Dexlabanalytics.

Today, SAS certifications are extremely rewarding and scores high for both employee and employer. Analytics is a big word, encompassing a whole array of job roles, such as Forecaster, Market Researcher, Data Miner, Operations Researcher and Statistical Analyst – so when are you choosing this career gateway for a better future! DexLab Analytics is here with its state-of-the-art SAS training courses, help yourself.

How to Determine the Size of a SAS Data Set

How to Determine the Size of a SAS Data Set

When program codes, applications and SAS data sets are developed, enough attention is often not given to EFFECIENCY, especially during the initial phases of development. Since, data size and system conduct can influence a program or an application’s functioning, SAS users need to access information about a data set’s size and content. To ascertain how much disk space a data set is using, users can easily do a few calculations to learn to access metadata content and attain the important information. Determine, estimate and understand information with this following tip, which helps improve SAS performance and fine-tuning of techniques.

Implementing PROC SQL and DICTIONARY.TABLES

The SAS system accumulates valuable information (also known as metadata) about all-familiar SAS libraries, indexes, data sets (tables), system options, views, catalogs, macros and an assemblage of other “read-only” tables called Dictionary tables and SASHELP views. TABLES, a particular Dictionary table and its SASHELP view equivalent, VTABLE, consists details about a SAS session’s data set. Check the following PROC SQL code as its specification will help us get access to the contents of four columns observed in the TABLES Dictionary table, namely BNAME, MEMNAME, MEMTYPE and FILESIZE to exhibit the size of the CARS data set.

PROC SQL and Dictionary.TABLES:

PROC SQL ;
  TITLE ‘Filesize for CARS Data Set’ ;
  SELECT LIBNAME,
         MEMNAME,
         FILESIZE FORMAT=SIZEKMG.,
         FILESIZE FORMAT=SIZEK.
    FROM DICTIONARY.TABLES
      WHERE LIBNAME = ‘SASHELP’
        AND MEMNAME = ‘CARS’
        AND MEMTYPE = ‘DATA’ ;
QUIT ;

Results

Analysis

The above results show that the CARS data set filesize is 192KB.

Nota bene: If the SIZEKMG.format is mentioned in a format=option, SAS ascertains whether it should apply KB for kilobytes, MB for megabytes or GB for gigabytes, and divide the filesize value with the help of one of the following values:

KB           1024

MB          1048576

GB           1073741824


Using PROC PRINT and SASHELP.VTABLE

In the following example, the provisions of a PROC PRINT are explained to access the constituents of three columns found in the VTABLE SASHELP view, particularly LIBNAME, MEMNAME and FILESIZE to exhibit the size of the CARS data set.

  FORMAT FILESIZE SIZEKMG. ;
  TITLE ‘Filesize for SASHELP.CARS Data Set’ ;
RUN ;

Using DATA _NULL_, SASHELP.VEXTFL and CALL SYMPUTX

Lastly, a DATA_NULL_ is depicted to approach the contents of the VEXTFL SASHELP view with a FILENAME statement. An assignment statement is specified to determine the FILESIZE value for the size of the CARS data set. The CALL SYMPUTX left supports and chops off the trailing blanks from the digital FILSESIZE value of 196608.

  SET SASHELP.VEXTFL (WHERE=(FILEREF=’MYFILE’)) ; 
  /* Calculate the Filesize in MB */
  FILESIZE = FILESIZE / (1024 ** 2) ;

How to Simulate Multiple Samples From a Linear Regression Model

In this blog post, we will learn how to simulate multiple samples efficiently. In order to keep the discussion, easy we have simulated a single sample with ‘n’ number of observations, and ‘p’ amount of variables. But in order to use the Monte Carlo method to approximate the distribution sampling of statistics, one needs to simulate many specimens with the same regression model.

The data steps in SAS in  most blogs have 4 steps mentioned for so. However, to simulate multiple samples, put DO loop around these steps that will generate, the error term and the response variable for very observation made in the model.

What is Truly Efficient? Understanding Stratified Random Sample

What is Truly Efficient?  Understanding Stratified Random Sample:

We have discussed several times the efficiency of various techniques for selecting a simple random sample from an expansive dataset. With PROC SURVEYSELECT will do the job easily…

 

proc surveyselect data=large out=sample
	 method=srs   /* simple random sample */
	 rate=.01;   /* 1% sample rate       */
run;

 

However, let us assume that our data includes a STATE variable, and one would want to guarantee that a random sample includes the precise proportion of observations from each of the states of America.
