"ok, lesson one...almost all arithmetic boils down to Lie Group computations. If you don't use Lie Groups, you will lose money in any book that contains correlation."me stupid. drink wine. listen lectures. vague understanding. thoughts/comprehension approaching minimum level of famous harvard graduate.pain, tears, no comprehension....go back to something simple. distribution of zeros on zeta function, for example. big OH. J function (formerly F function). much more comfy.seriously, lots of folks here (including myself) have long-standing suspicions of correlation (although we all use 'em, guilty!), even the most sophisticated continoues users of real-time corr (thinking of stat and index arb traders) so I'd be interested to know something about your research, although don't hold out to much hope for me having a clue, and certainly have no fear I could ever impliment a shread of it to make money.

How do you feel? The Wilmottrix seems to be ill. That generated hybrib goat character called MikeBellsMom is demonic and real scary. Reminds me of a goat I once knew.

unfortunately, correlation is like F=MA...however, unlike all of the improvements to Physics, we have Copulas...trust me, Copulas are NOT like the finance/stat version of GR, QM, QFT, GFT in physics.

Now just add the correct bit about the symmetry of a correlation matrix and how asymmetry isrelated to Copulas...BTW, I also found the Lie Group associated with your basket problem, MuhahahahahahahahahaN
