Book Description

Python is one of the most popular programming languages in the financial industry, with a huge collection of accompanying libraries. In this new edition of the Python for Finance Cookbook, you will explore classical quantitative finance approaches to data modeling, such as GARCH, CAPM, factor models, as well as modern machine learning and deep learning solutions.

You will use popular Python libraries that, in a few lines of code, provide the means to quickly process, analyze, and draw conclusions from financial data. In this new edition, more emphasis was put on exploratory data analysis to help you visualize and better understand financial data. While doing so, you will also learn how to use Streamlit to create elegant, interactive web applications to present the results of technical analyses.

Using the recipes in this book, you will become proficient in financial data analysis, be it for personal or professional projects. You will also understand which potential issues to expect with such analyses and, more importantly, how to overcome them.

What you will learn

- Preprocess, analyze, and visualize financial data
- Explore time series modeling with statistical (exponential smoothing, ARIMA) and machine learning models
- Uncover advanced time series forecasting algorithms such as Meta's Prophet
- Use Monte Carlo simulations for derivatives valuation and risk assessment
- Explore volatility modeling using univariate and multivariate GARCH models
- Investigate various approaches to asset allocation
- Learn how to approach ML-projects using an example of default prediction
- Explore modern deep learning models such as Google's TabNet, Amazon's DeepAR and NeuralProphet

Who this book is for
