Regression-Based Machine Learning for Algorithmic Trading

Finally, a comprehensive hands-on machine learning course with specific focus on regression based models for the investment community and any passionate investors.

In the past few years, there has been a massive adoption and growth in the use of data science, artificial intelligence and machine learning to find alpha. However, information on and application of machine learning to investment are scarce. This course has been designed to address that. It is meant to spark your creative juices.

In this course, we are first going to provide some background information to machine learning. To ease you into the machine lingo, we start will something that most people are familiar with - Linear Regression. The assumptions of financial time series as well as the stylized facts are introduced and explained at length due to its importance. The assumptions of linear regression are also highlighted to demonstrate the challenges and danger of blindly applying machine learning to investment without proper care and considerations to the nuances of financial time series.

More advanced topics of cross-validation, model validation, penalized regression - Lasso, Ridge, and ElasticNet, Kalman Filter, back test, professional Quant work flow, cross-sectional and time-series momentum are also explain in details.

This course not only covers machine learning techniques, it also covers in depth the rationale of investing strategy development.

This course is the first of the Machine Learning for Finance and Algorithmic Trading & Investing Series. The courses in the series includes:

• Regression-Based Machine Learning for Algorithmic Trading
