R code used for slides / reporting

[enjofaes]

Hi David,

This is a proposition (don't know if it is super difficult to do). But could you maybe add the r code you use or are working on for certain topics in the FRM?

I know that certainly many will be interested as FRM is becoming more and more centric on data science techniques (also the case for CFA in the near future I think).

Would love to hear from you and others that are interested (and ofcourse there are many other sources already available).

Hi @enjofaes My apologies for such a delay, especially given that I shared your post internally (!) because I get really enthusiastic about the application of data science to our field. I have a data science blog here at https://dh-data.org/

So, yes, we are discussing exactly how to do what you asking about, in fact! I'm arguing that we should go further and buy/build the capability (at CeriFi) to offer instruction. As a FinEd company, I don't see how we can avoid the need to assist future Citizen Data Scientists.

I do not have the immediate capability to add more R code myself, directly. FYI, we are looking to hire somebody to help me and R/Python is a preferred skill, but it's just a tight market for talent right now, see:

More to come, thank you for your thoughts ... David

I agree. Very nice initiative of the Blog. Also with the recent innovations of R Studio (2021 for the visual editor). Automating reports and using that skill for companies to generate procedures / policies is very useful.

I stumbled upon the previous version of your Blog @David Harper CFA FRM
and include it below for future reference in this forum thread:

Ps. Stumbled upon it after revising a question about heteroscedasticity. Looks great! Can't wait for the future shiny apps that would help visualise some concepts in the FRM profession if those are planned with the new hire

HI @enjofaes Glad you found that! FYI, I moved it to here https://dh-data.org/ because I found a much easier way to host it (per https://dh-data.org/posts/2022-01-11-new-distill-site-in-15-minutes/). Thanks!
