Quantopian Live Webinar: "You Don't Know How Wrong You Are" on July 30th 12pm EDT

Any estimate comes with a degree of uncertainty, but often that uncertainty is ignored. This is incredibly dangerous in finance, as a wrong estimate can be the difference between steady gains and massive losses.

Join us for "You Don't Know How Wrong You Are" on July 30th at 12pm EDT where Delaney Granizo-Mackenzie will cover some problems with how estimates are often taken and discuss ways to quantify the uncertainty.
