Overview of this book

Python 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.

Exploratory data analysis

The second step of a data science project is to carry out Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA). By doing so, we get to know the data we are supposed to work with. This is also the step during which we test the extent of our domain knowledge. For example, the company we are working for might assume that the majority of its customers are people between the ages of 18 and 25. But is this actually the case? While doing EDA we might also run into some patterns that we do not understand, which are then a starting point for a discussion with our stakeholders.

While doing EDA, we can try to answer the following questions:

  • What kind of data do we actually have, and how should we treat different data types?
  • What is the distribution of the variables?
  • Are there outliers in the data and how can we treat them?
  • Are any transformations required? For example, some models work better with (or require) normally distributed variables, so we might...
