Please join us for the next Quantopian webinar, “Home Runs and Strike Outs – How Model Complexity Leads to Back Test Success and Out-of-Sample Strategy Failure” at 12pm EDT on October 30th. Increasing degrees of freedom poses a big risk in investment modeling where the signal to noise ratio is very low and stationary relationships are few and far between. The implications are lofty back tests that strike out when implemented. With the Boston Red Sox winning the World Series, it seems fitting to utilize baseball data in conjunction with investment data to illustrate the practical challenges faced by quantitative investors today.

This webinar will be hosted by Chris Covington from HighVista Strategies. You can sign up for the webinar for free today.
