Course Syllabus
Abstract
In this intermediate Python course, you will learn how to apply data science methods and techniques to economics and finance. This course will provide you with knowledge and skills in exploratory data analysis, data visualization and linear models. The practical classes are project oriented and cover the basic topics of data science applications as well as Markowitz portfolio theory. By the end of the course, you will be able to perform your own projects in Python.
Learning Objectives
- To provide an introduction to Python applications in economics and finance and enable students to conduct research in a reproducible manner.
Expected Learning Outcomes
- ability to perform exploratory data analysis, hypothesis testing and visualization
- Intermediate proficiency in Python libraries for data analysis and visualization (NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, Plotly, Scikit-Learn, etc.)
- the knowledge and skills for implementation of own projects in Python
- computing optimal asset allocations based on modern approaches
Course Contents
- Review of Python basics, concepts and syntax for data manipulation.
- Exploratory data analysis and descriptive statistics using Python packages (Pandas, NumPy).
- Data visualization using matplotlib, seaborn, plotly
- Hypothesis testing (t-test, z-test, etc). Confidence intervals.
- Linear regression. Metrics for quality evaluation (MSE, RMSE, MAE, R2, etc)
- k-Nearest Neighbours. Model selection, validation and analysis. Cross-validation, train-test split. Parameter tuning.
- Logistic regression. Metrics for quality evaluation (Accuracy, Precision, Recall, AUC-ROC, etc)
