Urban Score: Measuring Your Relationship with the City

Introduction In this paper, we introduce a new ambient display, personal steganography, and the concept of the urban score. Strictly speaking, the ambient display itself is a particular rendering of a value of the same name. As we will explain, the two are intricately linked. This ambient display does not convey stock prices, bus schedules, remind you to buy milk, or any other such useful bits;...

Optimizing Your SAS Performance with Grid Computing

Google has become very successful by developing an efficient search engine running on commodity hardware. It no longer uses the old model of putting all its resource onto one super computer, but rather it spreads that processing onto a cluster of smaller machines running in parallel to form a grid. Gordon Moore made an observation in 1965 predicting that the number of transistors per square i...

Six Key Principles for Measuring Human Capital Performance in Your Organization

Efficiently measuring recognition performance with sparse data.

We examine methods for measuring performance in signal-detection-like tasks when each participant provides only a few observations. Monte Carlo simulations demonstrate that standard statistical techniques applied to a d' analysis can lead to large numbers of Type I errors (incorrectly rejecting a hypothesis of no difference). Various statistical methods were compared in terms of their Type I an...
