Introduction In this tutorial we will build a deep learning model to classify words. We will use tfdatasets to handle data IO and pre-processing, and Keras to build and train the model. We will use the Speech Commands dataset which consists of 65.000 one-second audio files of people saying 30 different words. ...

Monte Carlo

June 4, 2018 | R Views

Today, we change gears from our previous work on Fama French and run a Monte Carlo (MC) simulation of future portfolio returns. Monte Carlo relies on repeated, random sampling. We will sample based on two parameters: mean and standard deviation of portfolio returns. Our long-term goal (long-term == over the next ...
