I'm really just wanting to do my own self research on topics and datasets that seem interesting, but also want to ensure the analysis im doing is sound.

Thanks for the link!

I'm mostly interested in self-research.

How'd you know you were doing sound stats?

How do you know your statistical analysis is good?

I'm rereading my intro to stats book and would like to use those skills to make good analysis.

from the ask-hn dept.

I work in mergers & acquisitions (math major undergrad, Python classes) but enjoy looking at interesting financial and non-financial datasets in what little free time I have.What project(s) have you worked on? Can a self-taught hobby data scientist produce solid/meaningful statistical analysis/results products?

but i feel like they're looking for PhDs and Math Olympiads.

how does one go about getting a quant position? (PhD, bachelors, masters?) I feel like there's a bias towards PhDs...

also, is this high-signal data publicly available? or only for purchases from vendors?

Re:Fitting to Noise or Nothing at All: Machine Learning in Markets on Monday August 07, 2017 @11:01AM (#14947960)

I wish there was some sort of full intro tutorial on finding strategies; ie: an example of a former signal (now traded away), the thought process, the data sourcing, statistical analysis, trading/signal strategy, etc..
