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.

September 6 – December 6, 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.
