What problem does it solve?
Quantitative strategies often fail because their statistical foundations are unchecked, leaving non-stationary series, heteroskedastic residuals, autocorrelation, or mis-specified volatility models to drive spurious results; this skill centralizes the statistical discipline needed to prove whether a signal can be trusted.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Stationarity & Cointegration: Runs ADF and Engle-Granger tests, computes hedge ratios, and tracks z-score thresholds so that pair trading and factor research rely on stable long-run relationships.
- Volatility & Risk Modeling: Fits GARCH(1,1) (with nods to EGARCH/GJR variants) and delivers persistence, long-run volatility, and short-horizon forecasts to guide risk limits for equity, crypto, and futures strategies.
- Regression Diagnostics & Inference: Provides heteroskedasticity, autocorrelation, multicollinearity, and bootstrap routines plus multiple-testing guidance so that models are statistically sound before deployment.
- Use Case: A researcher validating a new macro factor portfolio can use this skill to confirm stationarity, correct for heteroskedastic residuals, and justify Sharpe ratio confidence via bootstrap.
