Interview with Edmund Freeman, V.P. of Direct Marketing Modeling for Washington Mutual

The Markov copula procedure works efficiently and is a useful step towards developing a copula-like formalism for multivariate processes, which can be applied to the modeling of credit derivatives. Read the full article and receive the current edition of the… Continue

PROC LOESS allows greater flexibility than traditional modeling tools because you can use it for situations in which you do not know a suitable parametric form of the regression surface. Furthermore, PROC LOESS is… Continue

New Ideas to Forecast Stock Market Trends

My interest has mostly been in trading QQQQ and other major indexes, hoping to build a small portfolio of contrarian (negatively correlated) indexes. I am interested in two types of strategies:

1. A strategy where some cash is dormant on a trading account for most of the time, yielding a return of less than 4% a year when in "dormant mode".
