Book description

Are you innately curious about dynamically inter-operating financial markets? Since the crisis of 2008, there is a need for professionals with more understanding about statistics and data analysis, who can discuss the various risk metrics, particularly those involving extreme events. By providing a resource for training students and professionals in basic and sophisticated analytics, this book meets that need. It offers both the intuition and basic vocabulary as a step towards the financial, statistical, and algorithmic knowledge required to resolve the industry problems, and it depicts a systematic way of developing analytical programs for finance in the statistical language R. Build a hands-on laboratory and run many simulations. Explore the analytical fringes of investments and risk management. Bennett and Hugen help profit-seeking investors and data science students sharpen their skills in many areas, including time-series, forecasting, portfolio selection, covariance clustering, prediction, and derivative securities.

Reviews

'A very well-written text on financial analytics, focusing on developing statistical models and using simulation to better understand financial data. R is used throughout for examples, allowing the reader to use the text and code to actively engage in the financial market. It is simply the best text on this subject that I have seen. Highly recommended.'

Joseph M. Hilbe - Arizona State University

'There’s a new source in town for those who want to learn R and it’s a good, old-fashioned book called Financial Analytics with R: Building a Laptop Laboratory for Data Science … it is a one-stop-shop for everything you need to know to use R for financial analysis. The book meaningfully combines an education on R with relevant problem-solving in financial analysis. [It] is thorough and contextualized with examples from extreme financial events in recent times such as the housing crisis and the Euro crisis. The code samples are relevant - think functions to compute the Sharpe ratio or to implement Bayesian reasoning - and answer many of the questions you might have while trying them out. This is a book that will make you a better practitioner/student/analyst/entrepreneur - whatever your goals may be.'

Carrie Shaw - Quandl

'The book at hand is unusual in addressing beginners, and in treating R as a general number crunching tool. … It is also one of very few books on R really written for non-statistician non-programmers. … R seems a viable programming language for STEM students to learn, and learning a programming language seems a good idea for such students. This book appears to be the best option for accomplishing that.'
