Mathematica questions

My mathematica is a little rusty, but I think that 3 can be achieved using "rules".

Multivariate normal distribution/Monte Carlo simulation

I feel it necessary to point out that your assertion that "Since M is gaussian, it is pretty easy as we just need to know its expectation and the covariance matrix a each time point." only holds if f is linear.

Stochastic bridge in combination with stochastic volatility and jumps

<t>In general, multidimensional Levy bridges are quite tricky beasts.Following on from Lapsilago's suggestion, there is a construction of a VG bridge that uses a Brownian bridge with a gamma bridge subordinator. The Brownian bridge could be replaced with a multidimentional Brownian bridge, and the s...

Stochastic bridge in combination with stochastic volatility and jumps

For jumps, you could use a Levy bridge. The VG bridge is easy to simulate.

Neural Networks in Finance

I messed around with them in the past (buy side). Nothing came of it. Overfitting was a big problem. Also lack of transparency made sense-checking trading signals almost impossible.

I'm not really sure what the MATLAB equivalent of the R kernel is.

Jupyter

Has anyone actually used Jupyter with MATLAB? I have seen it mentioned, but never seen it implemented.

Copula and cholesky

<t>I don't really know where to begin! By "cholesky", I guess you mean the Cholesky decomposition of a symmetric, positive-definite matrix. This is simply a linear algebra tool that can help, for example, in the simulation of linearly dependent random variates. A copula is a special type of multivar...

PhD degree for mathematical finance

I seem to recall that Walter Schachermayer was an actuary early in life.

Robust Portfolio Selection

If in doubt, use 1/N. 1/vol might be better (beware of very low vols, though). Do not do Markowitz because of uncertainty of expected returns.Another option is to assume all assets have same Sharpe ratio and then do Markowitz (i.e. set expected return to vol rather than estimating it).

Arbitrage in Matlab

<t>I'm sure that there is loads of example cointegration code on the web (not necessarily finance related). Look at that stuff.Moving from theory to a trading strategy that actually works is very difficult (and can only be properly tested by live trading). Anyone who can complete this step is unlike...
