Vine Copulas in Finance

No.13755931 ViewReplyOriginalReport
Anyone familiar with using vine copulas with applications in finance? I'm familiar with using e.g. a t-Copula for risk aggregation i.e. constructing marginal distributions for spreads/returns and using copulas to aggregate across risk stripes but I've come across vine copulas which seem interesting. any anons with practical experience using them? most papers seems very heavy on theory and less focused on practice. ideally looking for Python implementations

does science require consciousness

Does the scientific method require us to be conscious in order for it to work? If qualia are an illusion, then aren't all experimental data also illusory?

When does applied math become useful

No.13751933 ViewReplyOriginalReport
Hey guys, newfag to the math major here halfway through college algebra. I've always been neutral to annoyed at having to take math, but after visiting this board I've started to appreciate it and can't wait to take trig, calc, and linear algebra. The question is, when does math become "useful"? I'm kinda autistic and I've always wanted to "create" things, and since math is such a universal language I'm just wondering when you anons think math, assuming I understand everything I've taken, becomes intuitive enough to actually create projects using mathematics. It seems like even if you go into real analysis or even topology or complex analysis you never "create" anything, you just learn massive proofs or theorems. It seems like calc 3 is when math gets useful. Any anons get me?

scientifically speaking, is it possible to reach a sober state of mind without any hang ups? it seems like for everyone there is something that upsets them. normies go in an apoplectic hissy fit over hearing a 6 letter word, polititards get rectally ravaged over bad things that happen to their tribe, spergs sperg over esoteric things, midwits upset over being exposed as no-nothing smart alecks, etc. it seems like for everyone there is something that upsets them. but is it possible to truly be free from this hindrance without being in some sort of near or comatose state?
