Quantitative Finance With Python: A Practical Guide to Investment Management, Trading, and Financial Engineering - Original PDF
Quantitative Finance With Python: A Practical Guide to Investment Management, Trading, and Financial Engineering - Original PDF
نویسندگان: C. Kelliher خلاصه: In March 2018, the Federal Reserve (“Fed”) was in the midst of its first hiking cycle in over a decade, and the European Central Bank (“ECB”), still reeling from the Eurozone debt crisis, continued to charge investors for the privilege of borrowing money. US sovereign bonds (“Treasuries”) were yielding 3% over their German coun- terparts (“Bunds”), an all-time high, and unconventional monetary policy from the two central banks had pushed the cost of protection to an all-time low. Meanwhile, across the pond, a sophisticated Canadian pension flipped a rather esoteric coin: A so-called digital put-on Euro/Dollar, a currency pair that trades over a trillion dollars a day. On this crisp winter morning, the EURUSD exchange rate (“spot”) was 1.2500. If the flip resulted in heads and spot ended below 1.2500 in 2 years, the pension would receive $10 million. If the flip were tails and spot ended above 1.2500, the pension would have to pay $2.5 million. Naturally, the 4 to 1 asymmetry in the payout suggests that the odds of heads were only 25%. Interestingly, the flip yielded heads, and in 2 years, spot was below 1.2500

Linking of Emissions Trading Schemes: Conditions for Solid International Cooperation to Mitigate Emissions - Original PDF
Linking of Emissions Trading Schemes: Conditions for Solid International Cooperation to Mitigate Emissions - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Matthias Machinek خلاصه: Anthropogenic Climate Change is one of the biggest challenges of the 21st century and receives more and more international awareness. The central instruments to counter climate change are emissions trading schemes (ETS) to cover GHG emissions. To increase efficiency and to ensure global reduction of emissions damaging to the climate, an international emissions trading scheme would be a rational choice. To establish such a global scheme, political decision makers could follow a bottom-up-approach by linking already existing ETS with each other. The book investigates such linkings of emissions trading schemes, which provide many benefits for the linking partners. As experience shows, although the number of schemes increased in the last decade, only a few linkings were established. Thus, the book answers the question, if and which conditions for states exist to link their emissions trading schemes. .

From Data to Trade: A Machine Learning Approach to Quantitative Trading - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Gautier Marti خلاصه: Machine Learning has revolutionized the field of quantitative trading, enabling traders to develop and implement sophisticated trading strategies that leverage large amounts of data and advanced modeling techniques. In this book, we provide a comprehensive overview of Machine Learning for quantitative trading, covering the fundamental concepts, techniques, and applications of Machine Learning in the financial industry. We start by introducing the key concepts and challenges of Machine Learning for quantitative trading, including feature engineering, model selection, and backtesting. We then delve into the various Machine Learning approaches that are commonly used in quantitative trading, including supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and reinforcement learning. We also discuss the challenges and best practices of implementing Machine Learning models in the live market, including the role of data quality, the importance of risk management, and the need for ongoing model monitoring and validation. Throughout the book, we provide numerous examples and case studies to illustrate the concepts and techniques discussed, and we also include practical tips and resources to help traders and practitioners get started with Machine Learning for quantitative trading. This book is an essential resource for anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of how Machine Learning is transforming the world of finance. This groundbreaking work offers a unique perspective on the use of Machine Learning in the financial markets, as it was created by an advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) using its own Machine Learning algorithms to analyze vast amounts of data and construct a comprehensive guide on the subject. Machine Learning is a type of artificial intelligence that enables computers to learn and adapt without being explicitly programmed. It involves the use of algorithms and statistical models to analyze data and make predictions or decisions based on the patterns and trends that it identifies. In Machine Learning, a computer is trained to recognize patterns in data by being presented with a large number of examples of the patterns that it should recognize. As the computer processes these examples, it "learns" the characteristics of the patterns and becomes better at recognizing them. Once the computer has learned to recognize the patterns, it can then be used to make predictions or decisions based on new data that it has not seen before. There are many different types of machine learning, including supervised learning, unsupervised learning, semi-supervised learning, and reinforcement learning. Each type of Machine Learning involves a different approach to training the computer and making predictions or decisions based on the data. Machine Learning is used in a wide range of applications, including image and speech recognition, natural language processing (NLP), recommendation systems, and fraud detection. It has the potential to transform many different industries by automating tasks that would be difficult or impossible for humans to perform, and by enabling computers to make decisions and predictions based on data in a way that is more accurate and efficient than human judgment. In “From Data to Trade: A Quantitative Approach to Machine Learning,” readers will learn about the latest techniques and approaches for using Machine Learning in quantitative trading, as well as practical advice for implementing these methods in their own trading strategies. From basic concepts to advanced techniques, this book covers it all and is an invaluable resource for traders at any level of experience.

Spirituality in Systemic Family Therapy Supervision and Training is a must-have resource for researchers, professors, graduate students as well as clinicians, supervisors, and professionals in clinical psychology, family studies / family therapy, and public health as well as all interrelated disciplines.
Performance-Based Family Therapy: A Therapist’s Guide to Measurable Change - Original PDF
Performance-Based Family Therapy: A Therapist’s Guide to Measurable Change - Original PDF
نویسندگان: H. Charles Fishman خلاصه: In this groundbreaking book, Charles Fishman uniquely incorporates and develops results-based accountability (RBA) into the framework of structural family therapy. Collaborating with the founder of RBA, Mark Friedman, this approach aims to transform the field of family therapy by allowing clinicians to track performance effectively and efficiently with their clients. The book begins by reviewing the historical foundations of family therapy and evaluates why challenges in the field, alternative methods, and the reliance on evidence-based medicine (EBM) have meant that family therapy may not have flourished to the extent that many of us expected. It then explores how RBA can be integrated into intensive structural therapy (IST), with chapters examining how RBA can be applied in context, such as in treating eating disorders, supervision, and how it can be used to transform the professional’s clinical contexts. Relevant and practical, the book also introduces the community resource specialist to help in the treatment of socially disadvantaged families, as well as practical appendices and "tracking tools" to empower clinicians to track their data and choose treatment models that obtain best outcomes. This new approach offers transparent and measurable outcomes for both clinicians and training family therapists, lending a helping hand in making family therapy the gold standard in psychotherapy. It is essential reading for undergraduate and graduate students of family therapy, course leaders, and all clinicians in professional contexts, such as social workers, psychotherapists, and marriage, couple, and family therapists.
Internal Family Systems Couple Therapy Skills Manual: Healing Relationships with Intimacy From the Inside Out - Original PDF
Internal Family Systems Couple Therapy Skills Manual: Healing Relationships with Intimacy From the Inside Out - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Toni Herbine-Blank, Martha Sweezy خلاصه: Toni Herbine-Blank developed the couple therapy Intimacy from the Inside Out (IFIO) as a branch of Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, a treatment used for individuals, couples, families, communities, and organizations. Intimate relationships inevitably pose painful dilemmas and require partners to navigate differences. If they cannot differentiate and stay connected in the process, they end up experiencing, as Dan Seigel wrote, emotional chaos or rigidity (2007). IFIO is designed to help partners differentiate and stay connected by accessing their strengths (Herbine-Blank, Kerpelman, & Sweezy, 2016). When we speak and listen skillfully, we deepen and transform our relationships. In IFIO, we aim for partners to disagree respectfully, communicate courageously, apologize from the heart, forgive freely, and stay connected. Loving connection leads to ongoing well-being.
