Data Science. TileDB. Open Source. Quant Research. R. C++. Debian. Linux. Adjunct Clinical Professor, University of Illinois. Lots of coffee. And some running.
I am now a free agent on 'garden leave', open for "interesting" work in the quant / data science / ml space.
Chicago, or possibly remote. Strong preference for compatibility with my adjunct position at U of Illinois.
Any pointers? Please email edd@debian.org. Thanks!

That is a prime example of "volatility clustering": high values predict high values, low values predict low values.
See Rob Engle (1982) and the very voluminous literature that followed (and rightly earned him a Nobel).
