Risk Management is driven by distinct but interdependent processes (e.g. VaR calculation, stress testing). Although posing different non-functional requirements — such as performance, frequency and data volume — these processes must be functionally consistent. Such diverse requirements are usually contradictory, inevitably leading to complexity.
We evaluate, with concrete coded examples, existing open source tools from the Risk Analytics and complexity handling point of view. The examples use mainly the PyData (e.g. Pandas, Bokeh) stack and the Apache Spark framework.
It consists of a set of notebooks:
- Data Preparation
- Tools introduction
- Model
- VaRSpark
You will need two conda environments:
conda env create pip install -r requirements.txt source activate osqf
conda env create -f=finspark.yml pip install -r requirements.txt source activate finspark
