This book provides an introduction to the use of statistical
concepts and methods to model and analyze financial data. The ten
chapters of the book fall naturally into three sections. Chapters 1
to 3 cover some basic concepts of finance, focusing on the
properties of returns on an asset. Chapters 4 through 6 cover
aspects of portfolio theory and the methods of estimation needed to
implement that theory. The remainder of the book, Chapters 7
through 10, discusses several models for financial data, along with
the implications of those models for portfolio theory and for
understanding the properties of return data. The audience for the
book is students majoring in Statistics and Economics as well as in
quantitative fields such as Mathematics and Engineering. Readers
are assumed to have some background in statistical methods along
with courses in multivariate calculus and linear algebra.
