Linking the statistic and the machine learning literature, we provide new general results on the convergence of stochastic approximation schemes and inexact Newton methods. Building on these results, we put forward a new optimization scheme that we call generalized inexact Newton method (GINM)....

This paper addresses the steep learning curve in Machine Learning faced by non-computer scientists, particularly social scientists, stemming from the absence of a primer on its fundamental principles. I adopt a pedagogical strategy inspired by the adage ”once you understand OLS, you can work...

In this study, we compare the performance of stochastic processes, namely, the Vasicek, Cox-Ingersoll-Ross (CIR), and geometric Brownian motion (GBM) models, with that of machine learning algorithms, such as Random Forest, Support Vector Machine (SVM), and k-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), for...

In today's complex financial markets, "Algorithmic Trading" has become very important. The study delves into the amalgamation of four pivotal indicators - Relative Strength Index (RSI), Exponential Moving Average (EMA), Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP), and Moving Average...
