I think you are missing the point of my replies. I don't think he's looking for data mining for trading; rather, I think he's mining for clicks and response activity (i.e. board shill).:D

Hi Mizhael, Now that you have watched the video, what parts do you find relevant to trading? Did they cover Searle Chinese wall or Turing test? Which do you think applies more to a trading forum? Thanks!

Bingo. And I agree that the nature of such questions are silly for trading interviews. But often, they are asked of entry level technical positions just to see how the interviewee approaches the problem. One way to leave an impression is simply turn the tables on the interviewer and ask him...

ok, so for example, which arrangement of interchangeable cubes would give July 07?

... and so how would day 7,8, or 9 show up?

There's one about a penny rotating on its perimeter 180deg somewhere on prior threads if you want to do a search. Few others also in that thread. GL.

See Milgram experiment. It's typically appeal to authority that drives the lynch mob to action. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fyrH9umZ8kc&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param...

If you actually even thought twice about believing what you read, you would next verify the source of the information. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/News_of_the_World Another fine example of posters who wish to do absolutely no diligence on hearing fantastic myths that are propagated to the...

Hi Mizhael, How do we optimally estimate page count responses, based upon keyword topic queries? Do you suggest lift charts or ROC? Thanks a lot!

Perhaps if you took the time to read the rest of the sources I conveniently summarized and posted for you, you might get the answer that you are seeking. As I recall, you did ask for a simplified summary, right? So, cabal denotes a bad connotation. But now that you've opened Pandora's box...

No, you don't get it. I am doing precisely what you advocate. I am gathering knowledge by asking questions. What is wrong with that? Honestly, I'm ascertained! I think I even caught that academic paper. I truly wanted to understand if you really actually care about your questions, or have...

I have noticed that just about every single questionnaire thread you have posed is a one liner query on some hot topic of the day with numerous different topics, yet, you never add anything to the discussion. Honestly, what kind of incentive are you given to generate activity here? Monetary...

Agreed. But as someone once said to me regarding equitable fairness, if I could change the rules I would, but I can't, so we just have to do the best we can with them. I watched a movie titled, "dark Matter," a bit back. I think it kind of relates slightly to your discussion and you would...

Dave, if I truly wanted to develop a convincing view on this type of topic, I would research things on my own a bit, then appeal directly to established experts on the matter and draw my own conclusions. In addition, I might try to watch some public debates on the matter. I added a small...

Quite a few professors have made a mint in options from prior students who utilized them for advisory rules (all while concurrently teaching). Although, generally, I completely agree the incentives for creating advances in science and scholastic achievement are completely bass ackwords.

Then that is exactly what you need to convey to them. The trick is to demonstrate what you can do once your foot is in the door, and you've had some time to show off your skills. If you are walking on water in any profession, you stand up for what you think you are worth; you'd be amazed what...

The bias works both ways. Although there will be some contention on both sides of the argument; I have to say, purely watching BigDave's arguments, has shown there is indeed some intelligence left on the board. Not to knock the other camp, as there have been a few rebuttals here and there...

almost didn't believe it. R.I.P. http://www.tmz.com/

It is an alternate method used to model volatility with results that are argumentatively closer to empirical data, and have a more Gaussian distribution than prior methods. As I briefly understand it, in very simple terms it is the log of the high price minus the log of the low price over a...

If you are looking for some pre-developed VAR examples with practical data using excel/VBA, there are nice examples in this book (one of the better excel/vba finance books, I might add)...
