Begin3 Title: tsinvest-1.4.tar.gz Version: 1.4 Entered-date: June 7, 2002 Description: Quantitative financial analysis of equities. The optimal gains of multiple equity investments are computed. The program decides which of all available equities to invest in at any single time, by calculating the instantaneous Shannon probability of all equities, and using statistical estimation techniques to estimate the accuracy of the calculated Shannon probability. Entropic techniques are used throughout. A tutorial is presented in the man(1) pages. A companion equity market simulation program is included, as is a simple data blade program template. A fragment of the daily US exchange tickers, from 1993 to 1996, is included as a demonstration of the program's capabilities. Additionally, there is a program provided that will translate the Yahoo! historical database of stock daily closing prices at http://chart.yahoo.com/d to a compatible database format.
