Learn mathematical, programming and statistical tools used in the real world analysis and modeling of financial data. Apply these tools to model asset returns, measure risk, and construct optimized portfolios using the open source R programming language
and Microsoft Excel. Learn how to build probability models for asset returns, to apply statistical techniques to evaluate if asset returns are normally distributed, to use Monte Carlo simulation and bootstrapping techniques to evaluate statistical
models, and to use optimization methods to construct efficient portfolios.
You'll do the R assignments for this course on DataCamp.com, an online interactive learning platform that offers free R tutorials through learning-by-doing.
The platform provides you with hints and instant feedback on how to perform even better. Every week, new labs will be posted.
