Let’s talk about tail risk modelling today. In this blog, I want to introduce Extreme Value Theory (EVT) which concerns itself with modelling of the tails of a distribution, and its key results.  As we go along we will work through a toy example with basic R implementation.  There are two popular parametric approaches to … More Extreme Value Theory

In this post, I would like to quickly introduce what I believe to be an underutilized modelling technique that belongs in most analysts’ toolkit: the quantile regression model. As I am discussing some of the main points, I will be working with R’s quantreg package that is maintained by the inventor of quantile regression. See … More 苹果手机shadowsock

It is commonly known that financial returns exhibit characteristics that are not captured by the widely applied normal and log-normal distributions.  In a series of posts I want to present some flexible distributions that are well suited to model financial returns.  We will work our way through quick modelling exercises in R that show how … More Flexible Distributions for Asset Returns – Part I [Generalized Lambda Distribution]

Nelder-Mead method is a derivatives-free numerical minimization (maximization) algorithm that is popular among practitioners.  In today’s post I will introduce the algorithm, briefly discuss ways it can be modified to suit various optimization problems and implement a variation of the algorithm in VBA. The Algorithm: Since Nelder-Mead (NM) is a derivatives-free algorithm it can be … More Nelder-Mead Method in VBA

The previous two posts have dealt with hard and soft margin SVM.  In both cases our model used a linear (hyperplane) decision boundary.  The only difference between the two is that the soft margin classifier does not split the two classes perfectly because the data is not linearly separable.  We still used a hyperplane but … More Support Vector Machine Without Tears- Part3 [Kernel Trick]

Today I will continue with the topic of SVM and extend the discussion to include classification problems where the data is not linearly separable.  In the previous post I described the hard margin classifier where we derived its mathematical formulation and implemented it in a spreadsheet. Hard Margin Classifier Recap We decided to use a … More Support Vector Machines Without Tears – Part 2 [Soft Margin]

I have been on a machine learning MOOCS binge in the last year.  I must say some are really amazing.  The one weakness so far is the treatment of support vector machines (SVM).  It’s a shame really since other popular classification algorithms are covered.  I should mention that there are two exceptions, Andrew Ng’s Machine … More Support Vector Machines Without Tears – Part 1 [Hard Margin]

With the disappointing Nonfarm Payrolls print this Friday I decided to have a systematic look at how well common machine learning algorithms can nowcast this particular series.

The most important statistic in the market and generates the most volatility.  Released on first Friday of a month and measures the monthly … More shawdowsocks 安卓下载_shawdowsocks 安卓下载最新资讯:2021-7-13 · Shadowsocks Android 安卓版下载+配置教程_搬瓦工VPS_美国VPS 2021年9月16日 - 1. 下载安卓版本的 Shadowsocks 首先,点击下方按钮下载安卓版的客户端 Shadowsocks 。 如果您是用微信打开的话,先点击手机右上角的三个

For a while now I had the intention of trying to use text mining techniques on central bank news releases.  Until today I have been hesitant because I was not sure of how to scrape the text from webpages.  Today I bit the bullet and went through R’s documentation and scoured coding forums.  Below is … More Windows、Mac、安卓和iOS下载ss客户端及配置方法 | Vultr ...:2021-9-29 · Vultr官网注册地址 没有注册和购买vultr vps服务器，请看最新Vultr注册及VPS购买图文教程 购买后没有搭建ss客户端的请看Vultr-VPS主机快速安装Shadowsocks（ss）完整图文教程 购买后没有搭建ssr客户端的请看Vultr快速安装SSR完整图文教程 Shadowsocks客户端 Windows客户端下载:Windows Shadowsocks客户端 下载好Sh

Quick Refresher: I have previously discussed penalized regression models in the context of ridge regression and the LASSO model.  These two models are special cases of the elastic net model.  Recall that in Ridge regression we included an L2 penalty term in our sum of squared errors loss function which we attempt to minimize to … More Fitting Elastic Net Model in R
