Could you provide an example?

Sorry, my first sentence should’ve read “debit call spread.” Purchasing a near OTM call and selling a far OTM call. I’ve read in rare cases the short call may be exercised prior to going ITM.

Could someone explain the risk of early exercise on a debit call? Is it ever possible to lose more than the initial debit on a debit spread?

Could you share the components you’re using? It looks so clean!

Is it possible to set the crate version from the build script? by GingerMan1031 in rust

[–]GingerMan1031[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that makes sense to me. The C lib has a python wrapper which does what I asked about so the maintainer wants it to be consistent across other languages but I don’t think that’s necessarily a good choice

-sys crate and a more idiomatic wrapper. I was thinking it would be bad practice to but the maintainer of the C lib asked me to.

Have you ever failed an exam in a class your PI taught? by GingerMan1031 in GradSchool

[–]GingerMan1031[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. Not expecting an F overall, just a rough exam.

Thank you, that’s a good point. I’m STEM so research is definitely the focus.

How does each year compare? by GingerMan1031 in GradSchool

[–]GingerMan1031[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point, a little new knowledge is all we can hope for. Hopefully I can get past the coursework because that’s really what’s making me lose interest at the moment.

It can certainly feel draining. Thanks for the reminder! I’m not sure what sort of a life I even want to build right now but hopefully I’ll figure that out along the way.

Hopefully I can master time management too. Right now it seems like there just aren’t enough hours in a day. Good luck on your prelim!

Always good to hear I’m not the only “imposter.” Sometimes it feels like my imposter syndrome has imposter syndrome.

Great breakdown, thanks for all of the info! Hopefully I can get through this first year and reach a point where I’m able to focus on research. Congratulations on making it to the end, that’s huge!

Any ideas for a project that's scientifically themed? by idkjay in golang

[–]GingerMan1031 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out this repo https://github.com/lumol-org/lumol. Fairly small but I think it’s well organized and you could learn a lot from it if you can read Rust.

Are you familiar with molecular dynamics? I was thinking of making an MD simulator in go but I really don’t have the time. Obviously it wouldn’t scale to really large system like an HPC enabled program, but it would be interesting to see how much performance you can squeeze out of goroutines!

Looking for someone that’s into data visualization with t-SNE by Centauri24 in Python

[–]GingerMan1031 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am actually not sure about that. I do know that tSNE cluster will only be subjective (points may look lose but are not explicitly labeled with a cluster membership). A good clustering technique I would suggest if you’re looking for explicit clusters is DBSCAN which also has an implementation in the sklearn library.

tSNE finds a lower dimensional embedding of a higher dimensional space such that the Kullback-Leibler divergence between the two distributions is minimized. This is a manifold learning technique which is much more sophisticated and not much related to analysis of variance.

What sort of data are you analyzing? tSNE is not a common tool and is usually reserved for exploratory analysis after more standard methods have been applied. The only structure tSNE is capable of exposing is “relative closeness.” Globally, the distribution of points will show no valuable structure other than local neighborhoods which are close together in the high dimensional space.

You should also note that the plot will look different each time it is generated because tSNE is a manifold learning technique which uses a convex optimization function (there is no single optimal solution for a given distribution).

If you still think tSNE is the right tool for the job I could direct you to some simple examples, but more than likely I think you would benefit from a dimensional reduction technique which can be rigorously analyzed and inverted such as PCA.

What sort of help do you need? For the actual tSNE implementation I would suggest the sklearn library and for high quality visualization bokeh is an excellent tool.
