It is an excellent course to apply statistic, probability and python methods in financial modelling. I would like that each section had resources to study statistics concepts related to the videos.

Due to the fact that it's the first course I've completed on Coursera, I can't compare this one with any others here. But I should admit that it gained me a lot of insights on my way to study Data Science. That's how the statistics should be taught - only with the assistance of proper software.

Associate Professor Xuhu Wan of HKUST ensures that a student learns both the python programming to build predictive models and the concepts of the models. To build your applied financial analysis skill set, this high caliber course ties together python programming practice with statistics.

The course is a great introduction for people who haven't had experience dealing with stock trading models. The statistical concepts given and Python lab commands provided will let students to get on the way to financial analysis, building models and further experiments with market data.

Very usefull material especially for people who looks for a beginning point . To full understand this course you need to know about statistics and computing but personally helped me a lot. I would recommend it to anyone who desire to enrich his knowledge in field of finance/trading.

The course was practical indeed not very difficult, i apologize it is not sponsored any longer. It mixes real and basic stochastic concepts applied to financial analysis with some Python. Perfect for not experts in neither of the 3 disciplines (Statistics, Python, Financial Markets)..

I am very much grateful to The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology for the tuition especially (Xuhu Wan) and to Coursera for the financial aid which allowed me to partake and also get closer to my aspirations and goal. It was a great time, course delivery was the best.

This course is really very good. Very much informative, and that's too in 4 weeks. You need only a little Python and Statistics background. There is no doubt that you will learn to model financial data, your Python and Statistics skills will also improve. Thanks to Prof. Xuhu Wan.

I enjoyed a lot this course. I've seen both the notebooks and quizzes very interesting and instructive.Videos were deep enough to follow the subject consistently.Maybe it should be updated in Python and Pandas versions, however it's not a big problem to follow the course at all.

I have done some analyses using python, but none emphasizes using statistics for financial analysis. Thus, this course is a good starting point for anyone interested in using python and statistics for financial analysis.
Kudos to the Professor and all who structured the program.

One of the best course I did that covers Python, statistics and finance with real examples for hands-on training and understanding the concepts. The examples of testing trading strategies in Python made the content and course much more engaging. I am so glad I did the course.

It increased me a lot my knowledge of Statistics and I do not regret the time I have spent with this course. I can say this course improved my studies even more!
Material and classes were perfect and very well explained!
Thank Hong Kong University for this amazing opportunity.

It is a really basic introduction to Financial Analysis using Python. It is easy to do, it just focuses on important commands and indicators. Plus, you won't need to download the Python program in your computer because all the exercises can be done online in Jupyter.

This is course is super-useful and practical that students would have lots of exercises to get an experience of applying Python to build some simple financial models for data analysis. I highly recommend this course to people who are interested in Python!

Gente, nunca tinha tido contato com o python e muito menos com a análise financeira foi muito gratificante esse curso, posso dizer que as avaliações não são tão facéis, vocês realmente precisam entender o conteúdo pra responder, me acrescentou bastante.

The course is nicely taught. A good mix between statistics and real-life implications. One thing that could be improved in the future is more hold-hand walk-through of the code. I felt a bit struggling when reading and understanding the code myself.

very helpful course to gain a basic understanding of Python, Statistic and some part of ML & AI, specially how to test and train your model for future prediction.
I like the visualization part using statistic in Python.
Great work, Thank you!

There is good information in this course and the python methods i=used in financial analysis can be adapted widely. Some of the syntax used is out of date, it is easy to ffind the current syntax if you are running the models in your own IDE

The course is just perfectly conceptualized. It is a very good course to start your journey into financial data analysis. The level is intermediate and I would suggest if the course can be made slightly lower paced with two extra added weeks.

Relevant and practical with insights to both programming using python and statistics for Financial Analysis.
This does not assume much knowledge and if you don't grasp a lof the concepts just push on and finish the quiz to complete the course

Although the presentations can look a bit boring at first, I found the information presented very solid and it answers the questions that I have all the time. This is a good course for advanced python learners with solid financial knowledge

extremely helpful. this class help summarized what i had learn before and make it to work for finance. once you are comfortable with the subject in this class, you should be able to explore more financial analysis with python on your own.

The content is really straightforward and useful. A lot of tools were covered and well-explained. Wish there were more time given to explain the codes since they can be confusing at times, but the course is generally on a good pace.
