Big Data for Investment Decisions

Description

Large datasets now play a part in many investment decisions. Fourteen PDF lessons begin with big data in finance and the main tools and technologies, then cover data collection and management for investment analysis and the fundamentals of statistical analysis and predictive modeling.

Further lessons apply these ideas to machine learning, portfolio optimization, risk assessment, market trend and pattern analysis, sentiment analysis and alternative data, and real-time data processing. A lesson on ethics and data privacy comes before building a first big data investment model, and case studies and future trends close the course. Tables and exercises support the text. After reading, you should be able to describe how each technique works and outline a data-driven investment model. The content is educational and is not personal investment advice.

Who it is for: investors and finance students who want to understand how data analysis is used in investing.
