用S-Plus做金融數據統計分析（簡體書）

《用S-Plus做金融數據統計分析》內容簡介：This book grew out of lectures notes written for a one-semester junior statisticscourse offered to the undergraduate students majoring in the Department of Oper-ations Research and Financial Engineering at Princeton University. Tidbits of thehistory of this course will shed light on the nature and spirit of the book.
The purpose of the course is to introduce the students to modem data analysiswith an emphasis on a domain of application that is of interest to most of them:financial engineering. The prerequisites for this course are minimal, however it isfair to say that all of the students have already taken a basic introductory statisticscourse. Thus the elementary notions of random variables, expectation and correlationare taken for granted, and earlier exposure to statistical inference （estimation, testsand confidence intervals） is assumed. It is also expected that the students are familiarwith a minimum of linear algebra as well as vector and matrix calculus.
