On 18 February 2024, it was proposed that this article be moved from SHAZAM (software) to Shazam (econometrics software). The result of the discussion was moved.

History[edit]

SHAZAM has a long history and has been popular over the years. Some description of the history of SHAZAM (such as a version table) as given on the SAS page would be helpful.

Techniques[edit]

This article does not outline the statistical and econometric techniques SHAZAM supports. In particular listing all the linear and nonlinear regression, time series and other analytical capabilities would be useful.

disambiguation link[edit]

This page is missing a disambiguation link to Shazam (other meanings). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bogdanbiv (talk • contribs) 05:24, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

– Follow up contested RMTR request:

SHAZAM (software) → Shazam (software): Does not appear to be an initialism. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 20:09, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
It sort of is. The software is named after the magic word SHAZAM used by Billy Batson to transform into the Captain Marvel in the DC Comics (not to be confused with Captain Marvel in the Marvel comics), which is an initialism for Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles, Mercury. --Ahecht (TALK

I'll note that without the DIFFCAPS, Shazam (software) is definitely ambiguous with Shazam (application). 162 etc. (talk) 02:34, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

It seems clear to me that the capitalization is incorrect given that the first source is titled A General Computer for Econometric Models--Shazam, so disambiguate both subjects fully. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 18:29, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Pppery: What? Shazam (econometrics software) is a software; Shazam (music app) is an app. There's only one piece of software named Shazam, and one app named Shazam. Sure, an app is technically software, but we wouldn't call it "software". And even if we consider both apps/software, the Apple app is clearly the primary topic and would be a case of WP:THRILLER.

You are welcome to challenge this closure through the appropriate processes. Until then it stands. As I see it app just means "application", and this clearly is an application even if that exact word is used in the article. And I personally think even Thriller (album) is wrongly titled. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 15:09, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In common parlance, "app" is widely understood to be short for "mobile app", not software applications in general. If anything, I think Shazam (mobile app) would have been a more suitable form of disambiguation. InfiniteNexus (talk) 18:30, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
