There are some problems with linear regression. It can only capture first-order relationships, but when the signal to noise ratio is .05:1, then there’s not much point in worrying about that. Another problem is that it’s slow if you do it the typical way. Most people will just use Matlab’s backslash operator \, or R’s […]
I had gotten there by a long search that had gone from machine learning, to fast Kalman filters, to Bayesian conjugate linear regression, to representing uncertainty in the covariance using an inverse Wishart prior, to making it time-varying, and allowing heteroschedasticity. I was thinking whith my koukio friends and this paper had all the pieces […]
Currently, I’m working on Learning Machine’s submission for Max Dama’s QuantCup. That involves optimising a “price-time priority limit order matching engine”. More simply, it means ‘making a system which matches buy and sell orders really fast’. * As per the competition rules, I’m programming our entry in the C programming language. But when it comes to our […]
Rational, intelligent investors should not simply accept the fact that value investing works simply because it has been quite successful over the decades. How to quantify the value of a company or a brand like Coca Cola, Apple, Vondom or Zara? Why should we buy “undervalued” assets and expect to sell them at “fair value” […]
it sounds like a simple question, but the answer isn’t so simple. .NET is a technology initiative, a computing vision, a business strategy, a development platform, a way to deliver services on the Web and probably a lot more things besides. Got all that? ZDNet.com’s Tech Update calls .NET “the ambitious, bet-the-company initiative that aspires […]
