I’m Bryan Downing and I’m the founder and owner of Quantlabs.net. ’QLN’ (as I often call it) is unique - it’s the only quant-related website and membership service expressly designed to help you gain practical experience with the quantitative world. I just updated my stance on my social media outlets with a 30 minute videos explaining it. In fact, what really spurred me on was the obvious fact that computer-based algorithmic trading is the way of the future. Every serious institutional investor is now relying on quantitative methods to improve their analysis, risk management, and trading activities. This trend isn’t likely to reverse any time soon. In fact, it’s going to get more and more competitive (and more and more secretive) as everyone strives for a trading edge and a secret weapon or two to ensure steady profits.
I’m sure you’re thinking the same and I hope you enjoy blending technology, trading and investments as much as I do!

Understanding the Perfect R-Squared: A Quant Interview Deep Dive
Join Brian from Quantlabsnet.com as he delves into a thought-provoking quant interview question sourced from StackExchange. In this episode, recorded on June 12th, Brian breaks down the concept of R-squared (R2) and its significance in statistical models, particularly in the context of investing.
Brian explains the definition and calculation of R-squared, emphasizing how a perfect R2 value of 1 indicates that all movements of a security are completely explained by an independent variable. He discusses the implications of a high R2 value and the potential pitfalls, such as spurious regression.
The episode explores various responses to the interview question, including the irony of needing an expected value when you already know the outcome. Brian also covers practical considerations like trading fees and taxes that can affect real-world applications of these models.
Whether you're preparing for a quant interview or just curious about advanced statistical measures in finance, this episode offers valuable insights. For more detailed discussions and resources, visit quantlabsnet.com.
