Meh, statistical learning has many definitions, one of them being memorising (in the sense of learning all correlations possible). I appreciate the plagiarism problem, though. Makes it only more human.

In the real World, "conversations" with commercial chatbots inevitably end with "I'll call them on Monday when they are open".

 I wonder if ChatGPT likes jazz (warning: don't mention Stranglers).

There are many programming languages that can be used for differential equations in finance, including Julia1, Python, and MATLAB2.

There are many types of differential equations used in finance, including ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and partial differential equations (PDEs). ODEs are used to model systems that change over time and are described by a single variable. PDEs are used to model systems that change over time and space and are described by multiple variables. In terms of tools and languages, Monte Carlo simulations are often used to numerically solve differential equations in finance. Other mathematical tools such as trees and explicit finite differencing can also be used for solving PDEs on grids. I hope this helps!

well there you have it folks; go for explicit FDM and Julia

would you buy a 2nd hand car from ChattyChattyBangBang.

Well, I’m a fan of Julia and of the creator of chattychattybangbang. My current car (technically a minivan) is only 15 years old, so I probably won’t need to buy another one for a while. And, for whatever it’s worth, in a pinch I will produce useful numbers faster with Matlab than any other language.

I asked a Julia developer was type inference the same as duck typing in Julia. He blew a fuse.
I don't have a phone, could someone ask ChatGPT for me?

Gracias

Here is ChatGPT’s take on Julia type inference:


Type inference in Julia is related to, but not exactly the same as, duck typing.

Duck typing is a programming concept that says "if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it must be a duck". In other words, if an object has the necessary properties and methods to behave like a particular type, then it can be treated as that type, regardless of its actual type.

Type inference in Julia, on the other hand, is the process by which the Julia compiler infers the types of variables and expressions at compile time, based on the types of the values being assigned or used in those expressions. This allows Julia to generate efficient machine code that takes advantage of the specific types being used, without the need for explicit type annotations in most cases.

So, while Julia does use some elements of duck typing, such as the ability to treat objects as different types based on their behavior, type inference in Julia is a more specific process that is used to optimize code based on the specific types being used, rather than just allowing objects to be treated as different types based on their behavior.
