The St Petersburg phenomenon. The paradoxes of probability theory. - page 9

 
Aleksey Nikolayev:

Not really)

1) R is poorly represented on the runet

2) it is not often studied in universities

Doubtful value. And transient.

 
Yuriy Asaulenko:

Did SanSanych tell you that?

The English wiki says it's in 18th place (R, not SanSanych). Only matlab is higher, but it's not really for matstat.

 
Novaja:

See, it's just an accidental(!))))

Well yes, we have R as a language for advanced geeks, while the rest of the world has students doing term papers in it.

 
Maxim Dmitrievsky:

The biggest paradox for me is why the most advanced minds on this forum discuss anything but different TS :)

And almost no one writes in mql5 either.

They discuss their TS with buyers on the market)

Any other minds here are more shifty than advanced)

 
Aleksey Nikolayev:

They discuss their TCs with customers on the marketplace)

Any other minds here are shifty rather than advanced)

there are almost no unique strategies on the market.

they copy everything they know, they don't need much brains to make attractive icons :)

A good TS will go for 10,000 bucks a copy, but no one will be able to come up with one.

 
Maxim Dmitrievsky:

A good TC will easily sell from 10k bucks a copy, but no one will be able to come up with one.

I don't think they sell at all. You need such a cow yourself)).

And I'm pretty sure that such TCs are not made in MKL.

 
Yuriy Asaulenko:

I don't think they are for sale at all. You need a cow like that yourself.)

And it's almost certain that such TCs are not made on MKL.

you can sell them and not trade anymore, the one-time incam will be many times greater than the annual income from trading

you can do anything and more with the mccl.
 
Aleksey Nikolayev:

If they were talking about some specialised programmes instead of R, that would be understandable. Often just excel is used - even in higher education.

Excel is a universal programme, then the skills can be used anywhere. What should R be used for?

 
Aleksey Nikolayev:

Yes, R is a language for advanced geeks, while in the rest of the world students use it to do their coursework.

By the way, I also wanted to write that R is like a fish in water in statistics and probability theory.

If students are writing courses it means they study, so the program is not so simple to be mastered by the first encounter. You need time to master it and you won't be able to use it. And Excel is like a multiplication table for everyone.

 
Maxim Dmitrievsky:

you can do anything and more on the MCL

Actually, you can't. You need, say, a database - that's external software and it's no longer MKL. Writing a DB in MCL is close to madness.

Anything can be done in assembler too, but no one would think of doing everything in assembler.
