Fabozzi Y1 - 2019/01/31 UR - https://pm-research.com/content/1/1/10.abstract N2 - The authors situate financial data science within the broader history of econometrics and argue that its ascendance marks a reorientation of the field toward a more empirical and pragmatic stance. They also argue that owing to the unique nature of financial information, financial data science should be considered a field in its own right and not just an application of data science methods to finance.TOPICS: Big data/machine learning, financial crises and financial market history ER -
