Therefore, data and measurements used to estimate trends and their properties may require analytic approaches that differ from traditional analysis. The purpose of this chapter is to summarize basic statistical tools, motivate the development of modeling techniques, and explore the empirical tools to better understand global and risk finance. In all subsequent chapters, examples and applications are further developed.

Data may be varied, consisting of qualitative events (such as political outcomes and decisions, time series of national macroeconomic statistics, and social and financial metrics).
