Data Mining

Postby eudamonia » Wed Jun 21, 2006 11:26 pm

Mikal and others:

What types of programs/procedures do you use for data mining a.k.a finding statistically relevant information out of historical data?

This is something I've been approaching in a very haphazard way and would like to improve.

Ed,

after exporting the data from Tradestation in a desired form, I am using Micorosoft Excel to do the analysis.

The best public resource on statistics on the internet:

I am now studying statistics and the best SW in the world for conduting
statistic research is Statistica:
http://www.statsoft.com/

Buying and learning Statistica SW is on my agenda in the future. Right now I've got a demoversion. My mother teaches at the Brno University of Technology and she cooperates with Statsoft now and then. They are conducting statistics learning courses, too.

I'm considering enrolling here:

Mikal,

Those are some great links, thanks!

Eudaimonia (pron.: you-die-moan-e-a) (Greek: εὐδαιμονία) is a classical Greek word commonly translated as 'happiness'. The less subjective "human flourishing" is often preferred as a translation.

Michal,
How would you rate Matlab 2006b as compared to Statistica?

Matlab is an industrial force, raw level math app :) Statistica is more on the user friendly side, which is, on the other hand, sometimes making it less universally usable.

But definitely, you can work with Statistica in a couple of minutes after you installed it, which is certainly not the case for Matlab :)

Anyway, I am judging both packages from the standpoint of view of non-user. Instead of Matlab, I was using Maple. Now I'm getting ready to get a license for a couple of Statistica modules. In my opinion, Statistica is the most comprehensive statistical package available today.

Thanks Michal,
Which Statistica modules are you planning to use?

To add my $0.02...

I use the following for my datamining efforts.

Eureqa
Matlab
R
Excel

My most recent research is developing a "smart" indi/EA which can determine if the price is trending or ranging.

Perhaps you could tell us the trending aspect you use to determine when you are red or green. I am currently using the 2Semafor to determine my trading color.
