Loo Wei Kang, PhD

Education

I am a PhD holder graduate from Doctorate of Management program since 2017. I have also obtained my qualification in Master in Applied Statistics. In addition to that I have passed CFA level III exam on 2017 as well.

Area of Interests

As a quant person, I do specialize in quantitative data analysis. Sometimes I also regarded myself as programmer instead of a quantitative specialist.

I have developed strong interest on machine learning lately. My most recent academic publishing cover the area of machine learning such as on comparing the performance of artificial neural network and regression in predicting real estate investment trusts’ return. On the other hand, I have also attempted to using ensemble learning models such as random forest and boosting to predict the REITs return by utilizing technical analysis.

To master different quant skills, I would need to develop understanding on a variety of software packages. I have learnt to use SPSS, Eviews, AMOS to perform statistical data analysis while I normal use python to run the machine learning analysis. For data visualization, I prefer to use excel to generate a simple chart while tableau would first come into my mind when dealing with complex visualization.
