Statistics and the Financial Markets
Elementary statistical methods will be used to analyze portfolio selection methods in the
financial markets. Concepts of regression analysis, expected value, standard deviation, and the
Central Limit Theorem will be utilized in the study of strategies for selecting stock portfolios.
Computer simulations of stock portfolios will be used to illustrate the expected outcomes of
repeated plays of various strategies.
