Growing Impact of Hadoop

In this age of data-driven technology huge amount of data are generated daily from a wide range of digital sources. Volume, velocity and veracity are the main features of this kind of data. Various data analytics tools are required to manage this massive amount of data. Hadoop, a data analysis tool is widely used for low cost data storage and ETL.

The distributed storage and parallel processing aspect of Hadoop provides us with reliable, accurate, data storage and evaluating mechanism. That’s why Hadoop has been adopted by industries of various fields. The market of Hadoop is growing constantly but the application of Hadoop in organizations is surprisingly limited. Very few organizations are utilizing the amazing power of Hadoop to predict business behavior; instead it is being used for cost efficient storage and ETL.

The full potential of Hadoop is being exploited by only a handful of tech giants for complex analysis of collected data. The reason behind this reluctant use of Hadoop cannot be explained. Business organizations are treading carefully to avoid any risks that may occur due to early adoption of Hadoop. Data discovery and pattern recognition is a time-consuming process and requires a flexible and unbound environment. Enterprises are using Hadoop for known cases like storage and ETL before going deeper to analytics project. They are mainly getting acquainted with the various aspects of this new technology before using it full fledged.

For now, we have to give the industries some time before they start to exploit the full potential of Hadoop.

 So, enroll in a Big Data Hadoop certification program and become a skilled professional in the field of data analytics. For more information on the potential of Hadoop please visit our blog at the given link: http://www.dexlabanalytics.com/blog/hadoop-adopted-but-not-for-analytics

Are You Using Ample Data in Your Data Scientist Resume?

Whenever you apply for a job, your first fear is that the resume does not get thrown into the reject pile. Being a data analyst most candidates only list their job history as a long and dry catalogue describing in brief their curriculum vitae (story of your life) of the various positions they held at previous employer’s organizations. Some even outrageously create a table of marks that they scored on various important exams in life. But being a data person, you must not make this rookie mistake of listing unnecessary data.

Things can get harder if you have never held a job role as a business or data analyst before and you have no idea about what to write as the headline of your resume and how to justify your sudden change in career.

If you want to find out an honest strategy for creating an effective business analyst or data scientist/analyst resume without involving petty gimmicks or trickery or unhealthy exaggeration so, that you can avoid the reject pile for sure.

Here are a few tricks that will help you showcase your data analyst like job roles even if you have never had one.

Tip no.1:

A good data analyst resume does not need a catalogue of all your work history. You must learn to optimize even irrelevant job roles as data-driven roles. This is a common misconception among most job seekers who feel that all types of odd job roles must be listed in their resumes. So, the first secret you must know when creating a resume is that it is not a catalogue but rather a sales document.

And what is on sale? Your candidature!

Thus, this means that you must be selectively honest when writing down job roles, skills and experiences that you choose to include into your resume. The key is to optimize and present your resume in a way that presents your qualifications and skills in the best possible way for the job title at hand.

Tip no. 2:

Summarize with specific details so that your resume stays away from the reject pile. This is essential because most recruiters will only scan your resume and not really read it. So, there will be a few handful of materials that will come to their attention.

The first element of your resume that meets the eyes of the recruiter is the summary or objective statement. One of the best kept secrets of the job world is completely opposite to what most people believe. It may seem to the rookie data analyst job seeker, that a vague or generalist statement will work to open up more possibilities, but the reality is starkly in contrast. For a data analyst job profile highlight your analytical abilities and statistical knowledge in your resume objective or statement and get the message through crystal clear that you are qualified for the type of jobs you are applying.

But note that most recruiters also skip right through the objective part of your resume, so, make sure that the other parts of their resume also lures them in.

Let us discuss us how you can catch their eye with those parts...

Tip no.3:

Have your resume read by tweaking the old job titles. Chances are an average recruiter will skip right through your objective section and even the accomplishments part. So, where will their eyes stick? To your recent job titles! So, make sure they are in bold t help them stand out.

Another key point to be kept in mind is that your previous job titles must showcase your skills as the right ones for the types of jobs you are applying. So, if your previous job title reads something like this – Software Developer, Customer Support or Network Engineer, then chances are you will only be hired in such job roles. So, instead of being blunt tweak your recent titles within the bounds of honesty and accuracy. To do this, you must be more creatively honest.

How to Export To Excel from SAS

Many specifically ask for spreadsheet data so that it may be manipulated further. A spreadsheet must be differentiated from a database and both importing and exporting data does not exactly deliver the most optimized and accurate results.

Nevertheless with SAS you can both read from MS Excel in a variety of ways and also export data into spreadsheets to be opened in Excel. There are a number of methods to achieve the same each having its own set of disadvantages and advantages. Some of the better methods for doing the same follow in the paragraphs below.

Differences between 64-bit and 32-bit Architectures

A few of the concepts and terms need to be cleared out before we proceed.

For you to be able to create excel files from the SAS environment itself you are in need of SAS/ACCESS to PC Files. This will; let you perform all sorts of interchanges in file formats to and from SAS and other apps of the PC which include Excel as well.

But the shift from 32 bit architecture to a 64 bit one has ensured that 64 bit SAS sessions will not be able to run the PROC EXPORT DBMS=EXCEL program unlike its 32 bit counterpart.

This may be remedied in two different ways:

• Installing data providers which are 64 bit which ship with the 64 bit MS Office but keep in mind that you cannot have 32 bit and 64 bit variants of these data providers concurrently.
• You may also make use of the PC Files Server which resides on the same Windows installation where you have SAS. But for this to work it is necessary to have the SAS program use DBMS=EXCELCS which basically instructs SAS to utilize PC Files Server in contrast to data providers that are used in-process.

The Better Ways to Export SAS to Excel

• LIBNAME EXCEL- This serves to read and write Excel files as sheets when the bit architecture (i.e. 32 or 64 bit) of SAS matches that of MS Office. The excel file serves as a SAS library where ranges or sheets form the member tables.
• LIBNAME PCFILES performs the same function as the above with the difference being in using PC Files Server. It is good for situations where there is difference in architecture(Whether 32 bit or 64 bit)
• PROC EXPORT DBMS=EXCELCS makes use of PC Files Server to write files in the Excel format. The output behavior may be controlled to a great extent and is well suited to situations where there is a difference in bitness.
• PROC EXPORT DBMS=EXCEL- This is most suitable in cases where the bit architecture of SAS matches that of MS Office.
• PROC EXPORT DBMS=XLS- This lets you export to Excel files directly without any external dependencies. However its function are limited as far as format and volume are concerned. It works on both the UNIX and Windows platforms.
• PROC EXPORT DBMS=XLSX- This was introduced in version 9.3M1 and is able to directly export to Excel 2010 files. There is no need for any driver or added software like PC Files Server.

The methods listed next do not have SAS/ACCESS to PC Files as a pre-requisite and are hence are quite popular in spite of the fact that they do not output “native” Excel files.

• PROC EXPORT DBMS=CSV- This produces CSV files used most often in Excel.
• ODS TAGSETS.CSV- This also creates CSV files. An alternative way is to use the DATA step and FILE output.
• ODS TAGSETS.EXCELXP- This makes use of ODS to output XML files in Office. The appearance of the content may be controlled to a significant extent but recent MS Excel versions refuse to see it as a “native” format.
• FILENAME DDE- This uses Windows messages in order to control the functions of Excel files down to the level of cells. In order for this to work SAS and Excel must reside in the on the same machine. Another point to be noted is that it will not work in Workspace Servers of SAS or servers which are referred to as stored process. It lets you leverage a tremendous amount of control, a quality prized by Advanced SAS users.

The SAS Add-in for MS Office resolves the problem rather easily. It allows you to access data related to SAS and their analytics right from the Excel environment and session.

If all this sounds exciting to you even if you are a newbie to the field a proper SAS Training Institute in Gurgaon will help you along the way.
