He maintains a YouTube channel (https: \/\/www.youtube. com\/@quantroom) dedicated to developing practical R scripts to assist active traders and R quants. Jason also does contract work for OIS Market Research Group as an R financial systems architect, coder, and developer. Jason provides a unique blend of financial expertise and coding experience to the quant finance field. Jason holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Finance and a minor in economics from California State University (CSU)-Northridge (2014). Jason's passion for markets began during the Great Recession. The rise of algorithmic trading at that time ignited his passion which to date continues to fuel his productivity. Jason uses his R programming skills to craft algorithmic trading scripts for personal exploration, research, and applications. He has been programming in R since 2012. Jason's dedicated YouTube channel is the premier guide for traders looking to master R in finance. By sharing his expertise online, he equips traders with the confidence to navigate the complex field of algorithmic trading.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDr. Oskars Linares \u003c\/b\u003eis Founder (2015), Research Director and Quant Strategist, OIS Market Research Group, Michigan, USA--a research and investment group specializ- ing in generating premium using equity, index, and futures options. Oskars is a member of the International Institute of Forecasters. He developed a \u003ci\u003eMinimal-Model \u003c\/i\u003e(MinMod) to inform the OIS Market Research Group's equity, index, and futures trading. He also developed an SDE ARIMA- variant forecaster to assist decision-making selecting option strike prices using empirical probability distributions with Bayesian updating. Oskars began his mathematical modeling career under the gentle guidance of Dr. Loren Zech (Senior Scientist, Laboratory of Mathematical Biology, National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD) using S-PLUS, and began migrating to R in 1995 while at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Working with Dr. Ray Boston at UPENN, Oskars applied Bayesian multilevel models for repeated measurement data in their research. Oskars has published over 80 peer-reviewed scientific research papers in prestigious scientific journals, several book chapters, and is co-author of the first editions of Investigating Biological Systems Using Mod- eling (Academic Press, 1999) and Plain English for Doctors and Other Medical Scientists (Oxford University Press, 2017). He received the Great Seal of the United States Award (1993) for his advancements in mathematical-medicine research on aging.
