1. Determining Rank in Matrix Completion Problem
Discuss how to determine the rank in matrix completion problem and how to connect to finance signal problem.
2. Effect of Data Duplication on Linear Regression
Suppose you have 1000 X and Y and do linear regression, when you duplicate the data twice, then you have 2000 X and Y, how the coefficient beta, R^2, or t-test would change?
3. Understanding Black-Scholes PDE
What is B-S PDE: (how to explain the PDE). If r increases, how about the call option increases (for most cases)?
4. Almost Surely Convergence vs. Convergence in Probability
What is the difference between almost surely convergence and convergence in probability (math definition)?
5. Choosing Penalty Parameter in Ridge Regression
In real application, how to choose penalty parameter (cross-validation)?
