Ideally designed to handle the speed and volume of high-frequency financial data at sell- and buy-side institutions, these tools have become the de facto standard; this book provides the foundational knowledge practitioners need to work effectively with this rapidly-evolving approach to analytical trading.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe discussion follows the natural progression of working strategy development to allow hands-on learning in a familiar sphere, illustrating the contrast of efficiency and capability between the q language and other programming approaches. Rather than an all-encompassing \"bible\"-type reference, this book is designed with a focus on real-world practicality -to help you quickly get up to speed and become productive with the language.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eUnderstand why kdb+\/q is the ideal solution for high-frequency data\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDelve into \"meat\" of q programming to solve practical economic problems\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePerform everyday operations including basic regressions, cointegration, volatility estimation, modelling and more\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLearn advanced techniques from market impact and microstructure analyses to machine learning techniques including neural networks\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe kdb+ database and its underlying programming language q offer unprecedented speed and capability. As trading algorithms and financial models grow ever more complex against the markets they seek to predict, they encompass an ever-larger swath of data -- more variables, more metrics, more responsiveness and altogether more \"moving parts.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTraditional programming languages are increasingly failing to accommodate the growing speed and volume of data, and lack the necessary flexibility that cutting-edge financial modelling demands. \u003ci\u003eMachine Learning and Big Data with KDB+\/Q\u003c\/i\u003e opens up the technology and flattens the learning curve to help you quickly adopt a more effective set of tools. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jan Novotny, Paul A.
