“I was looking for a way to brush up on my R-skills, and I always regretted not taking the more advanced financial analysis courses when I was at business school. This course covered both subjects so was perfect for me! My interest has been in market simulation, and I’ve already developed a comprehensive toolkit to analyze B2C retail markets. Now I’m thinking about how to simulate financial markets, and what problems I’d be solving if I managed to pull it off.”
