課程概述 Course Description

本課程介紹財務計算方法和應用於財務模型的數據分析。課程涵蓋R程式語言中的電腦程式編寫和數據分析、計量經濟學(統計分析)、財務經濟學、個體經濟學、數學演算最佳化和機率統計模型。本課程的重點將放在使用實際財務數據,以資產報酬行為的經濟模型為基礎,應用計量經濟學模型進行估算及分析;課程內容結合經濟、財務、數學及統計領域的專業知識並涉及:(1)探索性數據分析;(2)解釋財務數據的計量模型設定;(3)模型估算與評估;(4)測試模型的經濟意義;(5)利用模型進行預測。模型建立過程需要使用經濟理論、矩陣代數、最佳化演算概率模型、統計分析和統計軟體。本課程培養學生在面對大數據及人工智慧浪潮下,將資訊科技與財務結合應用,以擴增學生學習經濟學之應用價值及提升跨領域資料之整合分析能力。
This course is an introduction to computational finance and data science applied to finance. The course covers computer programming and data analysis in R, econometrics (statistical analysis), financial economics, microeconomics, mathematical optimization, and probability models. The emphasis of the course will be on making the transition from an economic model of asset return behavior to an econometric model using real data. This involves: (1) exploratory data analysis; (2) specification of models to explain the data; (3) estimation and evaluation of models; (4) testing the economic implications of the model; (5) forecasting from the model. The modeling process requires the use of economic theory, matrix algebra, optimization techniques, probability models, statistical analysis, and statistical software.
