(Adapted from Mark Anderson’s 2023 webinar “Selecting a Most Useful Predictive Model”) There can be a moment when analyzing your response surface method (RSM) experiment that you feel let down. You designed it carefully, maybe as a central composite design built specifically to capture curvature via a quadratic model, but when the results come in, […]

File integrity monitoring is one of the most misunderstood controls in cybersecurity. It’s powerful in theory, but historically plagued by poor implementation and a reputation for generating more noise than insight. This guide cuts through that history to explain what modern, Next-Gen FIM actually looks like, why it matters for security, compliance, and operational teams, […]

Response surface methods (RSM) pave the way to the pinnacle of process improvement. However, the central composite design (CCD)—the most common layout for RSM (pictured in Figure 1 for three factors)—traditionally limits the region of prediction to the cubical core. This conservative view avoids dangerous extrapolation out to the far reaches of the space defined […]

A few years ago, while evaluating our training facility in Minneapolis, I came up with a fun experiment that demonstrates a great application of RSM for process optimization. It involves how sound travels to our students as a function of where they sit. The inspiration for this experiment came from a presentation by Tom Burns […]

You can now use the import parquet command to easily import Parquet data into Stata. Most Parquet […]

Data privacy has never really been just a Western concern. With the rise of global data regulations, India has stepped up to the data privacy regulation plate with its Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, passed in 2023. Designed to protect personal data and regulate its processing, the DPDP Act aligns with global privacy laws like […]

Are your cybersecurity efforts sufficient for meeting the regulations and requirements for your industry? If not, you could face fines and fees — or worse, you could suffer the consequences of a severe data breach. To ensure you maintain adequate data security measures, you need to conduct regular cybersecurity compliance audits. External agencies may require such an audit […]
