In the last chapter, we learned how to design trading strategies, create trading signals, and implement advanced concepts, such as seasonality in trading instruments. Understanding those concepts in greater detail is a vast field comprising stochastic processes, random walks, martingales, and time series analysis, which we leave to you to explore at your own pace.
So what's next? Let's look at an even more advanced method of prediction and forecasting:
statistical inference and prediction. This is known as machine learning, the fundamentals of
which were developed in the 1800s and early 1900s and have been worked on ever since. Recently, there has been a resurgence in interest in machine learning algorithms and applications owing to the availability of extremely cost-effective processing power and the easy availability...
