What is data.table?
In the R programming language, data.table is both a package and an object within that package. The data.table package serves as a wrapper for the data.frame object in base R. A data.table object features many enhancements over a data.frame – to include increased speed and memory allocation efficiency. The value of these enhancements to the […]
Fleet Management: Today and Tomorrow
Tackling Aircraft Down-Time An aircraft’s job: to take off and land reliably, safely, and efficiently. As we look at today’s technologies and tomorrow’s advanced predictive tools, we believe that fleet health will increasingly be measured and analyzed in real-time, while fleet maintenance will be scheduled based on digitally predicted needs. Some of the factors that […]
How AI Impacts Workflows and Processes Across Industries
The modern field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is perhaps, not so modern but rather a journey over almost three centuries of improved workflows to create more efficient and responsive processes. AI in its current state is not a replacement for human intelligence and ingenuity but rather a support tool. Today’s AI is taking digital computing […]
Dangers of Accuracy
Are there dangers in accuracy? When you have unbalanced data that is incorrectly diagnosed, it can lead to misleading interpretations and results. Relying solely on data accuracy can be insufficient, so make sure to model your data according to the type of statistical model that is required for the problem at hand.
Test Driven Development
What is the value of test-driven development and how does one go about it? Paul Townend briefly discusses the importance of iterative design.
The Increasingly Needed Role of Data Driven Planning, Scheduling, and Predicting in Military Fleet Management
The DoD’s Underperforming Aircraft Mission Capability Rates From a glance, the US Military’s aircraft mission capability rates are underperforming across the board. A Government report released in November of 2020, reviewed 46 aircraft systems and found that only three met their annual mission capable targets in the majority of years from 2011 to 2019. Twenty-four […]
The Importance of Domain Knowledge
Hi, it’s Ben from Freya again, here to share a little bit about the importance of domain knowledge when it comes to software projects. We found that it’s super critical to have the right domain knowledge for any project. Certainly that’s the case when it comes to defense aviation and logistics projects. We have a […]
How Do I Start Using My Data?
A Networking Icebreaker I was recently asked to provide a short verbal presentation to kick-off a meeting of a networking group. The request was for something interesting to help start a good discussion. What better topic than ‘How are you using your data? Some quick tips to help you start analyzing your data.’ I figured […]
The Power of Effective Communication
My name is Christina; I’m a data scientist at Freya Systems who previously worked for the NYC Department of Education. I want to share with you an important skill for data analysts at any stage of their career: communicating your reports effectively so decision makers are more likely to open and use your information. Prioritize […]
Do I Have Enough Data?
How much data do we really need? This video briefly discusses the value of having significant data, given a varying set of project constraints.
