Curious if AI is playing any role.
- jqpabc123 1y agoMy answer --- quantitative analysis is pseudo-scientific BS based on one big flawed assumption --- that statistics can be used to logically predict markets. Sound familiar? Apply similar techniques on a broader, more generalized scale and you get AI.
- cdaringe 1y agoMore precisely, the assumption is that past indicators can predict future outcomes. Stats are just the vehicle to execute on that assumption
- brudgers 1y agoSome hypotheses that comes to my mind: 1. A well funded player has built a statistical model of the statistical models of some hedge funds. 2. Industrial espionage. 3. Tools back-doored by developers (as seen in "Office Space"). 4. Reversion to the mean (positive results of the model were largely randomness combined with a small sample size). It's worth noting that many nation-states would have incentive and resources for hypotheses one and two.
