Mike Watschke, who is with the SAP BI Global Center of Excellence, provided this session earlier this month.
He explained that the 1.0.7 of Predictive Analysis combines the code lines of SAP Predictive and Visual Intelligence. He said you do not get the full version of Visual Intelligence with this.
The usual disclaimer applies that things are subject to change. Some of this was discussed in an SCN webinar last week. Here is the PDF and here is the link to the recording.
He explained that SAP Predictive Analysis was not designed for statistician. BI is very good at historical and current day but often it leaves out forward looking & what-if.
It uses Visual intelligence –steps 1 and 3 of Predictive is Visual Intelligence, with a drag and drop interface. There is no coding involved and integrates with R.
Figure 4 shows that Predictive Analysis fits in the Analysis area. 1.0.7 is the generally available version. After some contacting SAP Support, I learned that a trial version for Predictive Analysis is available by contacting your account representative.
Right now Predictive has 16 algorithms; some with R which is part of an open source library that you can use inside of predictive or pass through PAL and Hana
Mike explained that in Q1 they plan to include a wrapper; you go to the R community – look at code – function library , C++ copy code and paste into wrapper
Right now the Visual Intelligence code line is in Predictive. You cannot install both on same machine as they share java code libraries.
With the integration between Predictive & Hana – PAL that lives within Hana – today they have 5 algorithms. In Q1 2013 they plan to have 15 algorithms. He said when they bring data into HANA, the predictive, processing and logic is all in HANA
If you are interested in trying out Predictive Analysis as a trial version, contact your SAP account representative.
Can you please help me with the recording as when I try to access the recording link I am getting following error – “Your Registration Cookie is not present, please enable the cookies(if disable) and re-register.”
I have heard that HANA sp05 we can write Algorithms in HANA itself as well as several libraries are available in R and L. In such case we can easily see the data using BO tools
Hello Arun – great question, I am not using HANA myself yet, so would you please post in the discussion area?
introduce to you John Mustermann. He is 42 years old and married. His main responsibility is to advise farmers and he work as a State advisor for farmers.
John takes phone calls from farmers which having various problems with plants. Because the symptoms they told Johnhe is looking out for a solution.
When John looking for a solution of a problem from a farmer, he have to go in apps for fitilizer, pesticide and general problems. After he found the correct solutions for the farmer he has to search for suitable products in the internet.
John need a app which list all problems, which activities will help and which prodcts are suitable to the activities.
John Mustermann, a state advisor for farmers needs a way to see the several apps in one view with the suitable production to work more effective.
Look at this guy. So casual. People pay money to look this casual. Just out on the ice in his black and white pyjamas. Waiting for his mulled wine and hard cheeses.
Lisa-Anne Gershwin is something of a hero to me. You won't find anyone in Australia, and very few people in the world, with the depth of knowledge about jellyfish that she does.
Last week a new species of rove beetle was described, almost two centuries after Darwin had discovered it in a little town on the coast of Argentina called Bahia Blanca.
Its jellyfish mania in Australia right now, thanks to our snotastic new friend, whose discovery on a Tasmanian beach was announced just last week.
Available for birthday parties, weddings and corporate functions in the Under the Sea region, the lumpsucker is a chubby, almost-spherical fish with modified pelvic fins that have evolved into adhesive discs on their undersides.
The Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute have released more of the kind of footage theyre great at collecting – never before seen by humans.
So good at hunting theyre named after their prize, birds of prey have a whole lot to teach us about flight and airborne pursuit. But for whatever reason – perhaps because theyre so quick – very little research has been done to figure out their hunting strategies.
Although Theresa May has repeatedly assured us that ‘Brexit means Brexit’, we’re still no closer to finding out what that actually means. The Prime Minister has done her best to play hardball in talks with other European leaders, having told Angela Merkel that control over free movement was an issue she would deliver on. But the fighting talk doesn’t actually mean much in practice. At least not yet anyway. And like it or not, one man who will play a key role in Brexit negotiations, Jean-Claude Juncker, is making it clear he’s not going to lie down and accept compromise on free movement. Here’s what he had to say:
‘There will be no access to the internal market for those who do not accept the rules – without exception or nuance – that make up the very nature of the internal market system.’
It’s not surprising that Juncker is taking such a hard line over this. He has been heavily criticised in the wake of the referendum for appearing to gloat about the Brexit vote and there was even suggestion from a senior figure in the German government that Angela Merkel could look to try and oust Juncker, who she now reportedly believed was a ‘part of the problem’. So far, that hasn’t happened and Juncker is clearly trying to shore up his position with the tenacity and doggedness for which he has become known. But what’s more worrying for May is that Juncker doesn’t see his stance as being that tough at all; instead, for him, ‘it’s not a hard line, it’s just common sense’. And momentum around his perspective is clearly building: Hollande might have made several concessions to May on her visit to Paris but he was also clear that the choice was to stay in the single market and accept free movement, or have neither.
It doesn’t take much to realise that both sides can’t get what they want from this. It emerged earlier this week that one plan was to grant Britain an ’emergency brake’ on EU migration for seven years – a deal that sounds good in the short term but, in fact, does nothing to solve for good the question on which the referendum outcome was decided: what to do about immigration. Talk of an emergency brake also brings back memories of David Cameron’s deal in February when he won a similar promise on migrant benefits and was left trying to sell a measly deal to the British people. If Juncker’s warning on free movement is anything to go on, we could be heading full circle.
Companies haven’t been put off by the dizzying rise in U.S. stock prices since the Nov. 8 elections, with boards last month authorizing a sharp increase in share buybacks.
Stock repurchase authorizations by U.S. companies totaled $83.8 billion in value for the month, according to Birinyi Associates Inc., a 76% rise from November 2015, when they totaled $47.6 billion.
It was the most robust November for share buyback authorizations since 2005, when companies set buyback plans of $88.5 billion, according to Birinyi.
“I think companies want to get the authorizations in before the end of the year,” Chris Costelloe, an analyst at Birinyi, adding that it’s possible that the U.S. elections may have prompted company actions by removing some uncertainty from the stock markets.
“Knowing as opposed to not knowing is certainly a benefit for the market,” he said, pointing out that U.S. stocks sold off moderately in the days leading up to the elections.
A couple of exceptionally large buybacks contributed to the November spike. “There were some authorizations that were pretty big,” Mr. Costelloe said. CVS Health Corp.’s board, for example, approved a new $15 billion plan while Facebook Inc.’s directors authorized one for $6 billion of its class A common stock.
Even including the robust November figures, though, authorizations for the first 11 months of 2016 trail those for the corresponding period last year by a wide margin, $628.5 billion versus $783.2 billion. The number of buyback authorizations was also lower, 902 versus 1,158.
Last year was an exceptionally robust year for buyback executions, with companies making repurchases of $696.4 billion. That was the highest number since the year before the financial crisis, 2007, when companies executed $761.8 billion in buybacks.
Year-to-date through November the financial sector notched the biggest number of buyback authorizations at 281, or 31% of the total, according to Birinyi. It also authorized the largest amount by value at $141.2 billion, or 23% of the total.
