R for Regression and Machine Learning in Investment



Learn how to use R to apply machine learning and regression methodology to investing and improve your decision-making strategies.

Boost your R programming skills and learn the core concepts of machine learning

Data is an essential tool for every sector, including investments. With data analytics, investment strategies, portfolio management, and decision-making are algorithm and data-driven, reducing the risk factors associated with investment.

This two-week course from Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU) will introduce you to fundamental machine learning and regression methodologies and help you improve your R programming skills to use data analysis in solving investment problems.

Understand how to use regression for data analysis of investments

This course will guide you through using regression methodology for various investment analysis purposes by using Ridge, Lasso, and logistic regression.

You’ll begin by gauging investment strategy using backtesting and learn about regression methodology, how to solve classification problems with logistic regression, and analyse data using the Fama-Macbeth Regression method.

Create a machine learning model to predict the movement of the stock market

On this course, you’ll take the first step toward using machine learning methodologies in solving investment problems.

Not only will you develop a firm grasp on the core concepts of machine learning, but you’ll also learn about machine learning models that are used to predict the movement of the stock market and create your own macro factor model using R programming.

Learn with the experts at Sungkyunkwan University

The instructor of this course has more than 15 years of experience with algorithmic trading and investment portfolio management experience in the G10 markets at Wall Street major firms.



With her expertise and guidance, you’ll be well-equipped to apply regression and machine learning methods to real data and improve your investment strategies.

Introduction to Data Analytics for Investment






Discover how to use data analysis and programming for investment strategies and portfolio management.

Learn how to use data analytics skills and regression to forecast returns

We live in an era where “data is the new oil”. No matter your area of expertise, having strong data analytical skills is becoming increasingly important. This four-week course from Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU) will help you use R or Python programming to apply data analysis to finance and investing.

During the first week of this course, you’ll learn to analyse and understand past return data and make a future return forecasting model using regression.

Discover how to assess risk and gauge and test investment strategies

The second week will guide you through how to gauge your investment strategy using back testing. You’ll utilize the knowledge gained from the first week’s content, as well as your forecasting model, to determine the validity of your investment strategy.

You’ll also expand your knowledge and understanding of assessing investment risks by using probability and statistics to analyse and calculate investment risk.

Create an investment portfolio with global ETFs and optimize it using R

To give you a hands-on learning experience, you’ll create your own investment portfolio using global Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs).

Once you’ve created your portfolio, your educators will instruct you in managing and optimizing it by employing an optimization algorithm using the R standard library.

Analyse the performance of your portfolio with Sungkyunkwan University

For the final week, you’ll learn about various types of portfolio and how to assess the performance of your portfolio with help from the experts at Sungkyunkwan University.



Once you’ve successfully completed this course, you will be well-equipped to employ real data and programming skills to strengthen your investment portfolio and investment strategies.
