Basics in R.
Objectifs du cours
At the end of the course, the student should be able to:
1. Describe how machine learning is used in general and in the field of Finance.
2. Compare and explain methods of machine learning such as supervised and unsupervised learning, tree-based methods and dimension reduction methods.
3. Implement several machine learning methods using the software R.
Contenu du cours
This is a technical course for students looking to deepen their knowledge in quantitative methods applied to finance. The course aims to cover the following:
- what is machine learning: understanding data and making predictions
- supervised vs unsupervised learning
- clasification versus regression problems
- assessing model accuracy
- trade-off between model interpretability and forecasting accuracy
- resampling methods: cross-validation and bootstrap
- regularization in linear models: LASSO, Ridge Regression
- tree-based methods, boosting, bagging and random forests
- dimension reductions techniques
