Details
Using IBM Watson Studio and Watson Machine Learning, this code pattern provides an example of data science workflow which attempts to predict the end-of-day value of S&P 500 stocks based on historical data. This pattern includes the data mining process that uses the Quandl API – a marketplace for financial, economic, and alternative data delivered in modern formats for today’s analysts.
🎓 Learning outcomes
