Navigating the Data Frontier: Chris MacNeel Shares Insights on Leading Freya Systems in Start Local Podcast  

Our impact is measured in how we equip clients with predictive models and decision tools to be more effective, efficient, and safe in their operations. We employ data strategies to fuel condition-based maintenance models and customize dashboard tools so that clients are making data-driven decisions.  We are most acutely...

Before becoming a data scientist, the way data appeared on a web page seemed like magic (to be honest some parts of the process still feel that way!), but having been involved in many aspects of the data pipeline at Freya Systems I wanted to share an overview of...

The Goal As a data scientist you often find yourself creating a notebook documenting a new model or an update to an existing model. Recently in this particular situation I was analyzing how my model was performing within windows of time throughout the prediction window. I wanted a visualization...

Component Reliability Analysis Much of our work involves determining the reliability of components, where we want to understand how long they will last before failure. We use statistical analysis to predict these failures in terms of the expected number of hours used, miles driven, etc. Say we are given...

This post is part 2 of a series on Data Manipulation in R. In part 1, my colleague showed the uses of the data.table package. In this part I will explore the dplyr package using the same examples used in part 1. What is dplyr? dplyr is a package...

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...

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....

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...

When asked about what we do at Freya, I often boil it down to, “We predict the future.”  This regularly results in a conversation about the complexities of the work that we do. This can be true, but whenever possible I take the time to remind people that with...
