Curtain Positions and Reporting

In entry/exit areas, the optimal curtain position is typically in the center, specifically sectors X or a point on line X-O.

Current Status Reporting

YY designates the current status of the recipient. In an exit curtain, the leader at point O should form the curtain up.

“Current Status” (YY) refers to the recipient’s current status.

Intro to Data Science: A Summary of Key Concepts

Standard Deviation Calculation (by hand):


Formula:

s=1n−1∑i=1n(xi−xˉ)2s = \sqrt{\frac{1}{n-1} \sum_{i=1}^{n} (x_i – \bar{x})^2}s=n−11​i=1∑n​(xi​−xˉ)2​

where xix_ixi​ are individual data points, xˉ\bar{x}xˉ is the sample mean, and nnn is the number of data points.


Indexing in Pandas DataFrames:


  • df[...]: Basic column selection.
  • df.Loc[...]: Label-based indexing (rows/columns).
  • df.Iloc[...]: Position-based indexing.

Composite Boolean Selection:


  • Use logical conditionals for filtering:

Census and Sample Methods in Statistical Investigations

Census Method

Census method is a method of data collection where every item of the universe or population related to the problem under investigation is studied.

Suitability

Census method is particularly suitable for statistical investigations with:

  • Small population size
  • Widely diverse items in the population
  • Requirement of intensive examination of different items
  • High degree of accuracy and reliability needed

Merits

  • Reliable and Accurate: Results are accurate and highly reliable because each item of the

Futures and Forwards: Hedging and Pricing Strategies

Chapter 2: Futures and Forwards

Futures Contract: A standardized contract traded on an exchange to buy or sell an asset at a future date at a price specified today. It can lead to losses if the price of the underlying asset goes up in the future.

Forward Contract: A customized contract between two parties to buy or sell an asset at a future date for a price agreed upon today. It can lead to profits if the price of the underlying asset goes up in the future.

Cash Flows: In a forward contract, no cash
