What we’re about
PyData Chicago is a monthly meetup to discuss all things python (or R, Julia, C++, Rust, Go, ...) and data! Our meetup is now hybrid! Enjoy the event in person or virtually, hosted on Zoom. We usually meet on the last Thursday of the month.
All meetups are recorded and posted on PyData's YouTube channel 1 week after the event -- unless the speaker does not want to be recorded. Presentation decks, code and other artifacts from the meeting are also shared with all attendees subscribed to the Meetup event 1 week after the event -- with the permission of the speaker.
The PyData Code of Conduct governs this Meetup. To discuss any issues or concerns relating to the code of conduct or the behavior of anyone at a PyData meetup, please contact co-organizer Olivia Martin via Meetup's message feature.
PyData is an educational program of NumFOCUS, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in the United States. PyData provides a forum for the international community of users and developers of data analysis tools to share ideas and learn from each other. The global PyData network promotes discussion of best practices, new approaches, and emerging technologies for data management, processing, analytics, and visualization. PyData communities approach data science using many languages, including (but not limited to) Python, Julia, and R.

See all- Liquid Factor Models200 N La Salle St suite 1100, Chicago, IL
I discuss factor models and propose using liquid instruments which are transparent, tradeable, and cheap to trade. I suggest instrument combinations to create intuitive, less correlated factors; and, I introduce an estimation method to handle multicollinearity and produce more stable estimates. Finally, I show that a liquid factor model explains most of the returns for investment funds with diverse holdings and objectives; that this explanatory power is comparable to or better than other factor models; and, that this reduces unnecessary re-hedging (and thus costs). Liquid factor models let us better estimate fund alphas and cheaply eliminate or enhance exposures.
This is a hybrid event. To attend online, join us on Zoom here at 6pm:
