Key FeaturesExplore unique recipes for financial data processing and analysis with PythonApply classical and machine learning approaches to financial time series analysisCalculate various technical analysis indicators and backtest trading strategiesBook DescriptionPython is one of the most popular programming languages in the financial industry, with a huge collection of accompanying libraries. In this new edition of the Python for Finance Cookbook, you will explore classical quantitative finance approaches to data modeling, such as GARCH, CAPM, factor models, as well as modern machine learning and deep learning solutions.

You will use popular Python libraries that, in a few lines of code, provide the means to quickly process, analyze, and draw conclusions from financial data. In this new edition, more emphasis was put on exploratory data analysis to help you visualize and better understand financial data. While doing so, you will also learn how to use Streamlit to create elegant, interactive web applications to present the results of technical analyses.

Using the recipes in this book, you will become proficient in financial data analysis, be it for personal or professional projects. You will also understand which potential issues to expect with such analyses and, more importantly, how to overcome them.

A concise and good read for going through every concept alongside hands-on instances on each chapter especially for the part of utilizing time series use cases in finances on how to take advantage of cross validation on time series problem namely expanding window validation and sliding window validation.

This was a very good book. Lots of very hands on and applied examples and a fantastic overview of the key concepts. You're not going to be an expert in time series modeling or ML after reading this, but you'll at least have some idea of what the current, standard toolsets are and how they can apply to solving common problems in finance and economics.
