Zack Batik 16 Problem Solving Competition
How did I discover APL? How did I discover APL?
My My first first APL development APL development IFS (Index Forecasting System)
The Competition The Competition
Phase 1 Phase 1 Mean {(+/ ) , } { +. , }
Phase 1 Phase 1 The median {0.5 +/2 (2-2| A) ( 1+ 0.5 A) A[ A , ]} Just for fun: {2 , : +. , 1 1 [ ]}
Phase 2 Phase 2 Three Problems: Calculating a Forward Rate Triangular Distribution Monte Carlo Modeling
Forward Rate Forward Rate 2-/ forward { (1 ),(2-/ ) 2-/ } Where the right argument is a vector of rates and the left argument a vector of maturities
