Financial firms use statistical and machine-learning models for many jobs: estimating risk, spotting fraud, pricing, forecasting demand and sorting through text. This course explains in plain language what those models do, what they need in order to work, and why impressive results so often fail to survive contact with real markets.
Across two chapters you will look at how models are built and tested, including data quality, back-testing pitfalls and overfitting, and then at model risk, why predictions fail and how to read bold claims critically. This course is educational only. It is not financial or investment advice, it recommends no product, market or financial asset, and it cannot tell you what any price will do.
Note: this is a sample course shown to demonstrate the platform; the full content is being prepared.
