Both econometrics and machine learning provide a way for analysts to have a glimpse of the future, and on that basis, make predictions. As research methodologies, both strive towards the same goal: inducing new knowledge. And, for this purpose, they adopt statistical tools, making for precision in scientific research. However, …

What is Econometrics? Econometrics is a field in economics that applies statistical and mathematical methods to economic theories. It has become more relevant over the years as it helps economists quantify their economic theories and hypotheses. Econometrics helps economists test those theories by using statistical tools with mathematical equations. Therefore, …

Econometrics primarily applies to the world of economics. However, it has also contributed a lot to the business world. Before …

Econometrics and statistics have common overlapping areas that some people may find confusing. While both of these fields deal with statistics and the relationship between data, they are different. Before learning how these two differ from each other, it is crucial to understand what they are. What is Econometrics? The …

We have previously presented time series analysis for identifying autocorrelation properties of stock indices and econometric techniques such as ARIMA and GARCH for estimating volatilities. We also highlighted an article that demonstrated the usefulness of advanced volatility estimators in trading by reducing trading strategies’ turnover. On the same topic, …

Both econometrics and actuarial science involve similar areas of study. These include statistics, mathematics, economics, and finance. However, they usually have different applications and are prevalent in particular industries. Despite their similarities, however, both of these fields also differ from each other in various aspects. Before understanding those differences, it …

Economics is a field of study that relates to analyzing various factors that affect a country’s economy. These factors include production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services, collectively termed as value. However, the field of economics usually involves theoretical analysis.
