Model | leverage the architecture of information in analysis

Modeling can mean several different things depending on who you talk to. Whether it's financial, data domain or statistical in nature, Quantum4D can be leveraged to let you see the system structure visually.  In Quantum4D we use the word model to refer to three distinct categories of data intelligence:

  • Quantitative: statistical and other quantiative class of models, from (macro-economic to Black-Scholes). 
  • Ontological: structures, standards and IDs (taxonomies, identifiers, location coordinates, relationship architectures)
  • Visualgraphic (2D and 3D) elements enable users to articulate visual representations of systems and the dynamics 

You'll find links to several examples below.  

 

Quantitative

A familiar and simple formula language allows expression handling & transforming existing data using operators & functions. Your work can then be saved as model templates and either be shared or modified by you or your peers.

 

A free Excel Add-in allows easy round trip motion of data and results with Excel (csv and other formats are supported as well). Beyond the numbers you can easily integrate alphanumeric (string) news, RSS or other text feeds.  This combination of system ontology, analytic expression, data feeds and qualitative descriptions significantly drives faster access to deeper insight.


Statistical

      Standard Deviation

Percent Change, Rate of Change, Moving Average...%Chg.,

Correlation

Linguistic

      Kitenga: entity extraction from text (you want to know all the references to people and places in the WSJ).

 

Ontological

In information science, ontologies formally represent knowledge as a set of concepts within a domain, and the relationships between those concepts.   Stated simply, ontologies basically describe the architecture of what you know.   One of the unique capabilities of Quantum4D is that it allows you to leverage these in your analysis of systems.   Whether market maker positions or supply chains, different systems have different frameworks that can be leveraged in both statistical and visual modeling.   

 

Ontologies are built up from entities, relations, taxonomies, and attributes on these.   The best ontologies are 'transparent.'  Meaning that you shouldn't be thinking about them or even aware of them when you use them.  We suggest you don't worrry about ontologies at first.  As you explore Quantum4D spaces you'll start to want to add your own structure.   The basic concepts should then seem familiar and natural.  

 

Data Standards

You can learn more about Quantum4D leverages various standards here:

Standards

Entity symbols: BICs, Ticker Symbols

Taxonomies ( SIC, NAICSGICs)

 

System & Iconographic 

 

 

Visual Systems

Quantum4D can unveil the architecture of information in systems; this in turn allows for the visualization of systems as such.   You can learn more about that with these first examples: 

 Ontonix:  you want to know how stable or robust a system or business is.

  • Incorporate models for scenario analysis - change weightings on real-time data to see results
  • Large scale system modeling: combine formulas with taxonomies & relations to articulate systems
  • On-the-fly data transformations:  toggle between standard views - rate of change, moving average, % change over any period of time to quickly explore different characteristics in large datasets.
