    ByAnnMaria De Mars November 26, 2012

    Here we have analysis of open data using free software with – uh, SAS? Click the links below and watch the videos. Seriously. They are too large to embed in the post. Sorry. Yes, you might think of SAS as the choice of multinational corporations with unlimited software budgets. You now have two options, if…

    The Benefits of Growing Your Own: The view from the code monkey cage

    ByAnnMaria De Mars November 25, 2012November 25, 2012

    Last week, I wrote about my disagreement with those who want to go out and hire a code monkey. Being deeply immersed in writing a computer game to teach kids math, here is my perspective from the monkey cage on the benefits of coding your own stunts. I like it. This seems to be a…

    Significance:The magazine – and why you should join ASA

    ByAnnMaria De Mars November 24, 2012November 24, 2012

    I admit that some months I am so busy that I toss Significance out without reading it – this is the magazine of the American Statistical Association (ASA) and Royal Statistical Society. No, I don’t pile up things to read later because I never do read them later. Anyway … taking two days off work,…

    My first weekend in five years

    ByAnnMaria De Mars November 23, 2012November 23, 2012

    According to my partner, Dr. Erich Longie, the Dakota believe that how one acts immediately after the death of a loved one, is how a person will act for the rest of his/her life. Thus, when someone dies, it is a very bad idea to get drunk, sleep around or other dysfunctional ways of dealing…

    Exploiting Native Americans? Hardly.

    ByAnnMaria De Mars November 19, 2012November 20, 2012

    Having received email from readers who believe that Spirit Lake: The Game is exploitative or disrespectful of Native Americans, I asked the individual who designed the Level 5 problem shown in my blog post of November 18 to respond in a guest post. What I Hope to Accomplish with a Math Game for Native American…

    Native Americans: Why Heidi Heitkamp won & Nate Silver was wrong?

    ByAnnMaria De Mars November 19, 2012

    The past couple of weeks, I’ve been hearing my friends from Turtle Mountain and Spirit Lake talk about the election in North Dakota. I was particularly interested because this was the one election that Nate Silver predicted incorrectly. He had Heitkamp down by 3.9 percent, and yet she won. I have no idea how Silver’s…

    Code monkey wanted: Must work for bananas

    ByAnnMaria De Mars November 18, 2012

    On the long list of things that irritate me, few score higher than people who have “an idea” for a start-up and are then going to find “you know, people” to code it for them. I was cheered up when I ran across this youtube video where AngelList founder Naval Ravikant advises the winners of…

    It’s not the math that’s hard

    ByAnnMaria De Mars November 17, 2012November 24, 2012

        Here is a math problem: Hoksinato and Tasunka Ska are going to steal horses. They could steal the scrub ponies from the edge of the camp. The last 15 times warriors from the tribe tried to steal scrub ponies, they got away 12 times and were caught and tortured 3 times. If they…

    Business advice – good, bad and useless

    ByAnnMaria De Mars November 16, 2012

    Lots of random people give me advice. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because: I really do try very hard to listen to other people openly and, I go out of my way to meet new people. Neither of these traits come naturally to me and I have to put a lot of effort into…

    If SAS software products were men …

    ByAnnMaria De Mars November 15, 2012November 15, 2012

    I may expand this into a series on software products in general. Years ago, I wrote a post on the similarities between the Rocket Scientist and SAS Enterprise Guide. Neither made a great first impression, both revealed their brilliance over time, and I am still with both lo these many years later. Experiencing both SAS…
