Calculating Paradise:
Welcome to West Perth.
How do you find the best place on Earth? The place with paradisiac conditions in every sense – the ideal company location, the most interesting holiday destination and the most beautiful place to live? That’s only possible with advanced analytics and machine learning.
We used the full range of SAS’ innovative analytics solutions to compare 148,233 cities in 193 countries based on 5,000,000 data points from 1,124 different data sources through machine learning – and to find the patterns and relationships that define the analytically best place on Earth: West Perth!
Big Data Analytics:
A completely new look at the world.
Figuring out the world’s best place with a special study, an international survey or popular trend scouts is impossible – they would still only reflect individual opinions and perspectives.
The objective answer is hidden in gigantic data volumes, verified facts and actual conversations. With the help of innovative data management, we have merged all of this information from big data on the SAS Platform and evaluated it by means of machine learning and data mining methods. This way, we found the place that combines all positive characteristics – based on nothing but facts.
