From historical prices to portfolio weights

The public work

Robert Andrew Martin’s guide transforms historical share prices into return and covariance estimates, prints optimized portfolio weights, and demonstrates regularization and integer-share allocation. Its performance figures are model estimates.

What to notice

Separate estimated objectives from realized outcomes, and check constraints again after rounding continuous weights into discrete decisions.

Keep the context

Historical-price demonstration with model-dependent estimates. No independent out-of-sample performance was checked here. The example is computational practice, not a recommendation to buy its listed assets.

AI use: Not reported in the source.

The inspected source does not report AI-assistant use by its authors.

A useful public example is not an assessment of a reader, a publisher or a Better Loop member.

Use material you are allowed to work with. This suggestion is preparation; it does not record a completed task or an improvement.

A prompt to adapt privately

Use the guide’s local historical-price fixture to inspect expected-return and covariance estimates. Reproduce continuous weights, then check a discrete allocation against a fixed practice budget. Report rounding effects and sensitivity to one estimation choice without describing estimated returns as earned returns.

A check to adapt

Weights and bounds satisfy the stated constraints; discrete cost stays within the practice budget; estimated and realized performance are clearly distinguished.

Private practice needs no account. Your configured model provider may process the evidence you select.

Partial pooling for Minnesota radon measurements

The notebook joins Minnesota household and county data, fits pooled, unpooled and hierarchical radon models, and displays posterior diagnostics and comparisons. The partial-pooling plots show how estimates change with county sample size.

Joining air-quality measurements to station metadata

The tutorial concatenates NO2 and particulate-measurement tables, shows row-count checks, and joins station coordinates and parameter descriptions. Displayed tables trace how the measurement dataset gains metadata.
