Rezensionen

'A very well-written text on financial analytics, focusing on developing statistical models and using simulation to better understand financial data. R is used throughout for examples, allowing the reader to use the text and code to actively engage in the financial market. It is simply the best text on this subject that I have seen. Highly recommended.' Joseph M. Hilbe, Arizona State University
