A Solution Manual for: Statistics and Data Analysis for Financial Engineering by David Ruppert
For anyone with interest in a career in financial engineering it extremely important to have a strong understanding of the mathematics that govern the movement of security prices. Ruppert's book "Statistics and Data Analysis for Financial Engineering" does an outstanding job of presenting advanced yet practical mathematics and demonstrating where such mathematics can be used in modeling and describing the financial world in which we live. The book possess mathematical rigor but also has a very applied flavor in that it provides working examples of R code demonstrating many of the techniques discussed. It also provides problems in R to help you explore additional data sets on your own. For the motivated student, these problems provide a way to test ones understanding of the material. Wanting to learn this material as well as possible I worked through all of the problems in the book. This solution manual is the result of that process. In it, I present my solutions to the problems and exercises from Ruppert's book. As extracting information from the financial markets is an increasingly competitive game, it has become more important than ever to have the knowledge to build the best mathematical models possible. By understanding this material you will have taken a significant step in that direction.
Note that this solution manual is for the first (not second) edition of the textbook. Many of the problems are the same between the two editions but there are some additional problems in the second edition that not found in the first edition. I'm currently working on a solution manual for the second edition. Contact me directly if your interested in buying that.
