"This post is part of our graduate student research blog, The Data Campus. This is a blog about the data analytics challenges we face at Rockefeller University, for graduate students, postdocs, and other researchers. These challenges impact research at the Institute and across the broader biomedical sciences. The blog covers the essential details of data analytics and post-doctoral training, as well as how to apply scientific techniques to discover more about the world we live in. Introducing the Research Workspace The research workspace we are creating is intended to support both graduate and postdoctoral students. It is comprised of analytics software, an analytic environment, and data analytics training materials. The research workspace is built with a dynamic ecosystem, creating the possibility for data scientists to create complex models while receiving feedback from one another. This new workspace is primarily focused on analyzing genomic data in the context of precision medicine, which incorporates multiple analytical methods. It also plays a role in enhancing the research capability of postdoctoral students by providing a research space in which they can train for a career in research, but also earn a relatively quick return for the cost of research software. See all posts in this blog. This post was inspired by and adapted from The Data Campus’s post, An Emerging Postdoctoral Development Framework for Data Science. Please respond to this blog. To learn more about how your graduate students can earn a return on investment in research and teaching through data analytics training, see our post on grad student data analytics and earn."

"The aim of the research was to estimate the potential profits of analytics in the finance market. The findings highlight the importance of both breadth and depth of analytics to achieving superior results. Based on a separate sample of 48 brokerages and banks, the consultancy estimated the annual profits of analytical firms for stock research and market analysis and created a benchmark for the sales and finance firms that now provide similar services. Performance of the four firms evaluated was split equally between financial research and sales and finance. The model can be used to assess the profitability of a company's business intelligence and research departments and identify where a gap exists. Some organizations may be underperforming in terms of the depth of analytics. The higher the profitability, the broader the analytical process, and vice versa. The wider the organization's analytical research capability, the more profits are earned, and hence investment in analytical tools is an important source of growth.

"Finance teams have a difficult time assessing markets. Analysts frequently struggle to create a simple financial model for emerging markets. At first glance, finance can seem a distant science, not an analytical discipline. However, there are many analytical tools that financial analysts can use to perform efficient analysis on the stocks they follow. If you are a financial analyst and are looking for ways to increase your productivity and research ability, I have written about the analytical tools that I use. If you are a finance team manager, I would love to hear how you are using your analytics budget. To get access to the research documents that I have created, please send an email to ****@****.

""In other news, here's my favorite academic news story of the year, courtesy of Ed Clark, president and chief executive of TD Asset Management: ""Is There Life After Earnings?"" Okay, that's cheesy, I admit, but I can't write about a corporate conference presentation or a big bank that makes a lot of money without mentioning the terms that high-level executives use to describe the key to maximizing earnings. More to the point, I recently met with finance executives of all stripes and they largely agreed with one key point. That is, that the way companies earn their profits is greatly affected by things like advanced analytics, by things like the ability of corporate finance people to make detailed analyses of metrics such as profit margins and spend""

"This post has been written by Olivier Giron, founder and chief executive officer of Degroof, and is part of the Money Project. Jérôme Faulet, CEO of Roche Diagnostics, said the analysis of drug compounds across labs could be revolutionized by a new type of biological instrument, which would allow researchers to quickly analyze up to a thousand compounds per day. “This instrument should, in principle, not only be able to determine the identity and unique molecular features of different compounds, but also predict the structure and functional properties of these compounds with accuracy and precision of the highest possible standards,” Faulet said. Based on these results, Roche began selling the Roche Analyzer 2000 in 2014 and claims to be the market leader with this solution. This particular model uses a combination of optics, advanced chemistry and proprietary software. According to Roche, the Roche Analyzer 2000 has earned almost 160 patents, and since its launch, the company has purchased its platform and license the technology to at least 500 research institutions, including 80 pharmaceutical companies and 80 biotech companies. If data analysis costs money, and more money than it earns for pharmaceutical companies, what is it worth to them? Roche’s analytics division has an annual revenue stream of €160 million, according to its annual report, which is on top of the billion in sales made by the Roche Diagnostics business. This is not a lot compared with the overall business. Roche’s total revenue last year was €21.7 billion. But it’s an analytical platform, and an analytical platform that would allow researchers to rapidly develop new drugs is the very thing a pharmaceutical company would pay a lot to have. Financial Times, “The Profit Driven Healthcare Business: Big Data and Beyond” The value of the analytical space is rapidly growing, however. Last year, the analyst firm IDC reported that big data analytics would grow to $22.5 billion annually by"

"Recently I came across a small piece of information, probably too insignificant for a blog entry, which actually contained the most basic and most recent financial statement information (all financial statements of a company are consolidated; if you don’t know the difference, think about the difference between last year’s results and this year’s results) of Lyft. And honestly, I just couldn’t resist adding it to a blog post about the danger of work-sponsored activity, because of its many subtle and subtle failures. Let’s have a look. On the top line, the financial statements show Lyft earned $112.1 million in gross revenue in 2015. That’s up from $98.4 million in 2014. Earnings are based on the calculations"

"Indictment: Confidential Analytical Research (CAR) Publicly available information makes it impossible to dispute a number of the GAO’s findings about the SEC’s litigation priorities, particularly the agency’s ability to bring successful cases against the banks whose mortgage practices were at the heart of the financial crisis. In a 2011 audit report, GAO analyzed the SEC’s “regulatory fairness” findings and found the SEC had failed to pursue “a large proportion” of “legitimate and related” investigations. The most serious findings, GAO concluded, concerned the SEC’s ability to pursue cases that would show the banks to be “highly profitable” by making unearned gains. The audit noted the SEC didn’t bring an “incredibly high number of inquiries into"

"The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) has been grappling with this matter for almost six months. Even the central bank was unclear about what, if any, steps it would take to help deepen financial markets in the wake of the Brexit vote. In its last policy announcement, it left interest rates unchanged, saying: “In these circumstances, the Committee will continue to monitor closely the evolution of financial markets and the wider economic outlook.” Clearly, finance is in big trouble. One answer for the time being could be a freeze on financial transactions until the economy stabilises. By not doing so, the central bank would actually penalise investors and borrowers. When financial markets became less volatile,

"It is the usual thing when certain things do not work. It is rare that things work well. The world is evolving into analytics. Analyst firms keep gathering data and collecting analytical tools. Now, it is an essential part of finance. It is a huge challenge for any business to make sense of the overwhelming amount of data. But there is still plenty of room for innovation. It has to be acknowledged that analytics is the most important function of an analytical firm. Analytics: The ultimate goal Analytics are tools to assist people in doing analytical tasks. Analytics can be viewed as the whole purpose of a business. It is a fundamental tool that allows people to do more. People of today can use analytics in"

"As a future student in any of Canada’s graduate finance programs, don’t let your first earnings end in tears. High-interest savings account with a reasonable fee will probably earn you more than a low-yield mutual fund, while leaving you with more money to invest for long-term growth. I’ve done the math for you, here’s what you can expect to earn from a simple low-interest savings account: A traditional five-year CD with one month of interest can earn you more than $350 while paying less than a Canadian bank five-year mortgage: Canadians can earn a healthy 2.69% interest rate on this five-year CD through the Bank of Montreal (BMO) The five-year CD earns 2.69% interest at the Bank of Montreal, whereas the five-year mortgage (compound) would"

"After having identified the market in which for-profit analytics can thrive, he shifted his work to developing analytic techniques for generating revenue. "I didn't have a specialty; I had a set of tools and a certain set of circumstances where I could build something," he says. "I wanted to build something that would enable people to make money. I didn't want to build a tool just for people who want to learn how to make a small amount of money. I wanted to build a tool that would enable analysts to do the type of analysis that they couldn't do before." "> The analytics sector is now so massive that "the economy and job market of finance would struggle to keep up with the rate of growth of the industry," says"

"I had this experience many times as a PhD student and a corporate consultant. One company had an analytics product with a fantastic fit for its research needs, but when it approached potential clients the sales rep couldn’t convince them. In fact, in many cases, the prospect didn’t even know how to relate analytics to finance, as I could explain it to them in detail, earning their full attention. Many thought I had come from the finance group to present research findings on their behalf. In other words, it was the answer they needed, but they just didn’t know it. I have found this to be a common experience, as analytics has become such a useful tool that its potential for improving management and profits is only beginning to be realized. Finance is essential to understanding the finance theory and tools. Analytical research should be a core part of the financial analyst’s work. But rather than coming up with questions to analyze and seeking solutions from quantitative analysis, the analyst should instead determine the research questions to be answered, based on the analytical tools. The analytic tool can provide a quantitative measure that the analyst can use to make a quantitative estimate of the potential profitability of an investment. Depending on the analytical tool and the financial analyst’s analytical prowess, the analyst can generally set the appropriate analytics in order to answer the analytical question. Of course, there are other things a financial analyst can do that may involve a broader range of disciplines. But in order to get more value from the analytical tools, the research analyst should spend at least the first half of his/her day focusing on collecting and analyzing analytics and less on the financial interpretation. Some analysts are uncomfortable with this idea. They feel that they are unable to earn a profit as a result of the results of their analytical research. I think they miss the point of how the analytical tools are really"
