Statistics and Data Analysis for Financial Engineering David Ruppert
Publisher: Springer




Master's or PhD in a quantitative field: Statistics, Applied Mathematics, Econometrics, Biostatistics, Operations Research, Computing and Information Theory, Industrial / Electrical Engineering, or Physics. Categories: Applied Statistics, Data analysis/processing, Forecasting/modeling. This program provides undergraduate students with the necessary mathematical and statistical background to develop and apply various data analysis techniques to real world datasets. Topics include factor models, time series analysis, risk analysis, and portfolio analytics. My understanding is that the term Big Data isn't just about statistics on large, static (or frozen), or designed data sets. Statistics has been, since its beginning, a branch of applied mathematics which designs and analyses methods for drawing reliable inferences from imperfect (incomplete, limited, distorted, noisy) data. Professors and engineers team up to teach students data analysis skills. Financial engineers have access to enormous quantities of data but need powerful methods for extracting quantitative information, particularly about volatility and risks. Data analysis, the process of converting data into knowledge, insight and understanding, is a critical part of statistics, but there's surprisingly little research on it. Statistics and Data Analysis for Financial Engineering (Springer Texts in Statistics)By David Ruppert. The primary course text is Statistics and Data Analysis for Financial Engineering (Ruppert, 2010). In addition to having a solid foundation in statistics, math, data engineering and computer science, data scientists must also have expertise in some particular industry or business domain, so they can properly identify the important problems to solve in a given area and the kinds of answers This could help financial institutions, for example, to better assess their risks and potentially extend loans to individuals and businesses that would not have otherwise qualified.
