Financial Data

Data quality is more than ever a crucial issue. Financial applications are increasingly sensitive to data outliers, and any errors in data due to misquoted prices or incorrect decimal positioning can be magnified, particularly in risk management calculations. The existence of outliers in financial data can distort computations and give an incorrect picture of the past performance of financial products and trading models.
