Course: Analysis of Financial Time Series with S-PLUS and S+FinMetrics
Description: http://www.insightful.com/services/course.asp?CID=33
Dates: April 3-4, 2003
Location: New York, NY
This course is intended as an overview of time series analysis using S-PLUS and
S+FinMetrics. We use the classic technique of least squares and maximum
likelihood to review modeling methodology. We introduce systems-theory
concepts, traditionally used for modeling dynamic stochastic systems, as a
framework for presenting time-series models. Within this framework, we present
time-series models as described in the book Modelling Financial Time Series
with S-PLUS by Eric Zivot and Jiahui Wang. A copy of the book will be given to
course participants.
*Who should attend?*
While this course is aimed primarily at the wide audience of individuals who
work, do research or study in the areas of quantitative finance and financial
econometrics, the content is appropriate for anyone who analyzes or models
time-dependent data.
The methods presented are general, but examples and exercises are drawn from
financial time series modeling. Thus, practitioners in the finance industry who
already use S-PLUS and want to explore more advanced financial application of
advanced S-PLUS analytics will find this class useful. It is also appropriate
for financial analysts who may not be familiar with S-PLUS but who desire an
integrated and open statistical modeling and programming environment for the
analysis of financial data.
