This repository contains a collection of practice Python scripts for sample scenarios commonly encountered by quantitative researchers. These exercises are designed to help strengthen my problem-solving, data analysis, and modeling skills using Python.

• 📈 Statistical analysis and signal processing
• 🧠 Machine learning models for finance
• 💡 Factor models and alpha signal generation
• 🧮 Portfolio optimization techniques
• 🔁 Backtesting and performance evaluation

Each script is standalone and includes comments for clarity and learning.

The goal of this project is to:

• Practice solving real-world quant problems using Python
• Build a reference library for interview prep and future work
• Improve fluency in tools like NumPy, pandas, scikit-learn, and matplotlib

• Python 3.x
• NumPy / pandas
• matplotlib / seaborn
• scikit-learn
• statsmodels
• cvxpy (for optimization problems)

1. Clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/your-username/quant-python-practice.git
cd quant-python-practice

2. Create a virtual environment (optional but recommended):

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # or venv\\Scripts\\activate on Windows

3. Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Run any script from the /scripts directory:

python scripts/mean_variance_optimization.py

/scripts         → Practice scripts grouped by topic
/data            → Sample CSVs or generated datasets
README.md        → Project overview
requirements.txt → Dependencies (optional)

These scripts are for educational and practice purposes only. They are not intended for live trading or production use.
