Insight: Insight is the understanding cause and effect based on the identification of relationships and behaviors within a model, context, or scenario.

Quantitative Analysis: Quantitative analysis is the use of models, or algorithms, to model risks in general, or to evaluate assets for investment. The process usually consists of searching vast databases for patterns, such as correlations among liquid assets or price-movement patterns (trend following or mean reversion). The resulting strategies may involve high-frequency trading. Some of the larger investment managers using quantitative analysis include Renaissance Technologies, Winton Group, D. E. Shaw & Co., AQR Capital Management, and Two Sigma Investments.

Research Design: A research design is the set of methods and procedures used in collecting and analyzing measures of the variables specified in the problem research. The design of a study defines the study type (descriptive, correlation, semi-experimental, experimental, review, meta-analytic) and sub-type (e.g., descriptive-longitudinal case study), research problem, hypotheses, independent and dependent variables, experimental design, and, if applicable, data collection methods and a statistical analysis plan. A research design is a framework that has been created to find answers to research questions.
