Synopsis:

Big Data and Machine Learning in Quantitative Investment is not just about demonstrating the maths or the coding. Instead, it’s a book by practitioners for practitioners, covering the questions of why and how of applying machine learning and big data to quantitative finance.

The book is split into 13 chapters, each of which is written by a different author on a specific case.
