Industrial Collaborations

  1. Correlation Analysis for Energy Futures Market. This work starts from basic non-arbitrage theory, but further compromises ideas from game theory. Background, Scripts
  2. Stochastic Modelling for Crypto Market. This framework is inspired by the current poor performance of StatsML model. We use a Cox model and this could be easily extended to a Market Making Strategy through control theory.
  3. Signature Method. This is a variant of StatsML method. It uses signature as a feature for prediction. This achieves better efficiency and precision under several occasions. Further on projects page. Some projects / details are confidential and cannot be displayed.
