We demo several methods to interface RavenPack News Analytics with MATLAB®, incorporating earnings announcements and news sentiment to inform historical analysis of Twitter Inc. stock price as well as enabling sentiment monitoring.
Technology Focus: Computational finance, news analytics
Key Products: MATLAB, Datafeed Toolbox™
Recent financial crises have heightened awareness of risk contagion and systemic risk. Financial professionals are increasingly constructing models and network visualizations to assess the impacts of risks and their dependencies on investments, portfolios, and business operations. In this demo, we use graph theory capabilities in MATLAB to quantify dependent relationships, visualize them over time, and embed graphs and networks into the 2D plane.
Technology Focus: Computational finance, data science
Key Products: MATLAB, Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox
In this demo, MATLAB is used to create a forecast for the performance of an asset, starting with relatively scarce option price data observed from the market. We compute implied volatility from market data, interpolate using the SABR model, estimate implied probability densities, and simulate and present the forecast uncertainty in a fan chart.
Technology Focus: Computational finance
Key Products: MATLAB, Financial Instruments Toolbox™, Financial Toolbox™, Optimization Toolbox™, Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox™
Pattern recognition and deep learning are increasingly used in financial services, particularly among data science teams. Video and image processing are increasingly useful in document analysis, insurance, and FinTech applications. Learn how to construct a classifier that can automatically detect objects using streaming images from a live video feed.

All financial research desks provide reports, but efficient desks automate interactive report creation. These reports are populated with plots, profiles, tables, and your cutting-edge findings, saving time and increasing productivity. See how you can use MATLAB to build and deploy production-quality reports, immediately.
Technology Focus: Computational finance, report generation
Key Products: MATLAB Report Generator™
We demonstrate concepts of scenario generation and stress testing with MATLAB to accompany the conference master class “Building, Scaling, and Implementing Risk Model and Stress Test Frameworks.” We discuss data import from SQLite databases, scenario generation methods, and macroeconomic modelling, while considering object-oriented programming to support a modular stress testing framework. We also describe how you can make the methods available to those who need them with MATLAB Production Server™.
Technology Focus: Computational finance, risk management, econometrics
Key Products: MATLAB, Database Toolbox™, Datafeed Toolbox, Econometrics Toolbox™, Parallel Computing Toolbox™, MATLAB Production Server
Abi Adams from University of Oxford discusses themes and topics from the book Microeconometrics and MATLAB: An Introduction by Abigail Adams, Damian Clarke, and Simon Quinn (Oxford University Press, 2016).
Technology Focus: Econometrics
Key Products: MATLAB, Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox, Econometrics Toolbox, Optimization Toolbox™, Parallel Computing Toolbox
Modelling alpha or (smart) beta, or applying stock selection methodologies that draw on factor modelling? In a series of demos, we show how you can build factor-based models in MATLAB, in particular taking advantage of efficient optimization routines for improving strategy performance.
