Hi Martin, How is what we use in financial data any different from that of a scientific data set? Why don't most scientists or researchers utilize relational db models? I'd argue, merely from my current understanding, that relational db's are most useful in cross-reference applications...

Conventional DSP (Fourier) doesn't depict the series well because market data is non-stationary and plagued by impulse events. Those more experienced in signal processing might say I'm incorrect, but I don't think so. Take a look at wavelet analysis instead. I'd say it's much more...

Use Linux. :)

Your welcome. :) Always glad to help when I can.

For those interested: C# Prototype Release ==================== We are pleased to announce the prototype release of a C# API for HDF5. It consists of C# wrappers for the HDF5 C library for the .NET environment. In this first prototype, wrappers are implemented for many of the basic...

Responsible regulation is the antithesis of abuse of power and chaos. Generally and nationally... Minimal and Responsible regulation... yes. Effective and Efficient... yes. But, a free market without it is a recipe for corporate power consolidation and abuse, which inherently is the...

Right... free markets without responsible regulation facilitates corporate grandiosity and abuse. Globalization has it's adverse affects on U.S. corporate interests too.. like competition. :D

U.S. May Lose Its Place as World's Finance Leader, Study Says By Yalman Onaran Jan. 22 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. will lose its place as the world's leading financial center in the next decade without legal and regulatory changes, a report commissioned by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and...

Nitro is probably the one to ask.

Well NN is a scalar/vector/matrix approach depending on how you initialize your input node structure. Actually, regardless of what kind of algorithm you use for curve fitting, it all depends on the results you are intending to receive. In general, curve fitting can be dangerous in that...

Also take a look at the QuantLib library written in C++.

Well it's actually one in the same. But if you you'd like something more direct, take a look at R, Octave, Scilab, etc. which are real good open source statistics software application suites. But they use an interpreter. Also, here's a nice on-line reference for stat related stuff. Look at...

Curve fitting is a classification of various types such as you've mentioned. NNs handle it very well (too much so for data classification, etc. if you're not careful ). A single intermediary node will produce a linear regression, multiple node models will regress non-linearly. Here's a nice...

Here's the link to the on-line video. This is only a temporary link so if it breaks in the future, I'll try to resolve a permanent link for it. CSPAN video archive USCAP Discussion on Greenhouse Gases The National Press Club hosts the U.S. Climate Action Partnership (USCAP), a group of...

FANN is very efficient. You didn't make clear if you were referring to a software library or just algorithms themselves. You can find the algorithms used by fann in it's source code if desired.

Here's the link to the coalition's website: U.S. Climate Action Partnership (USCAP) http://us-cap.org/

This is GREAT news. :) :) :) A program is broadcasting live right now on C-SPAN1 including CEOs from GE, Duke, PG&E and others. They're emphasizing the need for environmentally responsible legislation for alternative energy. When/if the online video is available form C-SPAN, I will...

I will take the time to read the documents. Thank you. Call me crazy, but I like the exercise of coding up my own function-aggregate interfaces and utilizing pre-formed interfaces sparingly. Must be due to my (faulted?) meticulous nature for granularity, originally coming from my...

Nitro, thanks for your comments. Just to clarify, I'm aware of most of what you spoke of. Design patterns and programming discipline (agile, extreme, etc.) is what I'm currently working on mastering. For the hell of it, let me also just mention that I like programming via the Qt C++...

Originally, the reason I started to learn how to program was because volume (as it's presented conventionally) does not represent actual market forces. Each "bar" shows the commingled volume for that period's elapsed discrete time. Each bar of volume, for each discrete time period, should...
