A compact, master's-level textbook on financial econometrics, focusing on methodology and including real financial data illustrations throughout. The mathematical level is purposely kept moderate, allowing the power of the quantitative methods to be understood without too much technical detail.

This text looks at data-analytic approaches to regression problems arising from many scientific disciplines. The aim of these methods is to relax assumptions on the form of a regression function and to let data search for a suitable function. The available data is also described.
