Analiza danych
Analiza danych jest ekscytującą dyscypliną, która umożliwia zrozumienie pewnych zjawisk, uzyskanie wglądu i wiedzy na podstawie surowych danych. Pojęcie to oznacza dokładnie przetwarzanie danych za pomocą technik matematycznych i statystycznych w celu uzyskania cennych wniosków, podjęcia ważnych decyzji i opracowania przydatnych produktów. Termin ten wywodzi się od angielskiego data science, często traktowanego jako synonim takich terminów, jak analityka biznesowa, badania operacyjne, business intelligence, wywiad konkurencyjny, analiza i modelowanie danych, a także pozyskiwanie wiedzy. Dzięki takim technologiom, jak języki Python czy R, platformy Hadoop i Spark masz szansę wyciągnąć maksimum wniosków, dostrzec szanse na rozwój swojej organizacji albo przewidzieć i zapobiec zagrożeniom.

This book uses Python as its computational tool. Since Python is free, any school ororganization can download and use it. This book is organized according to various finance subjects. In other words, the first edition focuses more on Python, while the second edition is truly trying to apply Python to finance.The book starts by explaining topics exclusively related to Python. Then we deal with critical parts of Python, explaining concepts such as time value of money stock and bond evaluations, capital asset pricing model, multi-factor models, time series analysis, portfolio theory,options and futures.This book will help us to learn or review the basics of quantitative finance and apply Python to solve various problems, such as estimating IBM’s market risk,running a Fama-French 3-factor, 5-factor, or Fama-French-Carhart 4 factor model, estimating the VaR of a 5-stock portfolio, estimating the optimal portfolio, and constructing the efficient frontier for a 20-stock portfolio with real-world stock, and with Monte Carlo Simulation. Later, we will also learn how to replicate the famous Black-Scholes-Merton option model and how to price exotic options such as the average price call option.
