About the Course

Course Overview: https://youtu.be/JgFV5qzAYno Python is now becoming the number 1 programming language for data science. Due to python’s simplicity and high readability, it is gaining its importance in the financial industry. The course combines both python coding and statistical concepts and applies into analyzing financial data, such as stock data. By the end of the course, you can achieve the following using python: - Import, pre-process, save and visualize financial data into pandas Dataframe - Manipulate the existing financial data by generating new variables using multiple columns - Recall and apply the important statistical concepts (random variable, frequency, distribution, population and sample, confidence interval, linear regression, etc. ) into financial contexts - Build a trading model using multiple linear regression model - Evaluate the performance of the trading model using different investment indicators Jupyter Notebook environment is configured in the course platform for practicing python coding without installing any client applications....

It is an excellent course to apply statistic, probability and python methods in financial modelling. I would like that each section had resources to study statistics concepts related to the videos.

Very useful introductury course into both python and statistic analysis wich allows you to create a simple trading strategy. It serves as a great first step but there is a long way to go still.

I would change the title. It has little practical content on trade, and explains more statistical methods.I would call it "how to use and graph statistics in python, with some trade samples".

Does not explain technical terms well. I had to search online to understand much of this content. Some of the quiz questions related lab to are not explained in course / lab

The course tried to cover a lot but wasn't really helpful for those who didn't have basic knowledge of either Python or Statistics

Poor Explanation of topics, was in a very hurry to complete than in explaining the concepts in depth. Did not reach expectations.

More coding please. I was looking for more linear modeling examples and implementation. The rest was relatively easy.

Not enough detail. Lectures have good material but a lot of information is presented too quickly. Labs are good

Lectures are not very informative. Things are said directly and not explained well. Sadly I paid $50 for this.

Should be better explained. Could not get past the first few lines in the practical. Looked at the discussion board and people were saying it was because the course is outdated and the code he explained might not even work with the version we were using

1- the language spoken is not clear (I had t oread the subtitles more than listening which was a horrible experience)

2- the labs are bot built in the right way, lots of errors and lots of data changes that effected the application of the commands

The guy teaching this course is barely understandable (it is clear English isn't his first language) and the entire course is riddled with spelling and grammatical errors

Horribly worded questions. Difficult to understand the lecturer. Week 1 was good to practice python. Week 2 was awful.

codes are not updated to python 3. Also little opportunity to apply codes in IDLE/Anacdona yourself.

Disorganized, and the quizzes are not testing abilities nor knowledge but just quantitative skills.
