Coding for Risk Management: Statistics in R

Coding

Workshop Info

Statistics in R
We see how R is built to facilitate statistical work. We explore built in random number generation and we practice manually constructing distributions and comparing them to the built-in versions. We briefly explore multivariate simulation.

January 19 – April 19, 2024
Time for all workshops: 9:00 – 10:30 am ET

The Coding for Risk Management Seminar workshops get you started in Excel, VBA, R, Python, SQL, and GitHub. The first step in all of these languages is a big step; after taking it here, you will be able to take next steps on your own. These workshops are also a great opportunity to discover how much you like programming. The examples are all related to finance and risk management. In all of the languages we price stocks, bonds, and options.

Students who want to take the next step and follow through on this content can enroll in our Coding for Risk Management Class.
