Data Analysis Tasks:

1) Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA): Analyze the distribution of stock prices and volumes for each company over time. Visualize trends, seasonality, and patterns in the stock market data using line charts, bar plots, and heatmaps.

2)Correlation Analysis: Investigate the correlations between the closing prices of different companies to identify potential relationships. Calculate correlation coefficients and visualize correlation matrices.

3)Top Performers Identification: Identify the top-performing companies based on their stock price growth and trading volumes over a specific time period.

5)Volatility Analysis: Calculate the volatility of each company's stock prices using metrics like Standard Deviation or Bollinger Bands. Analyze how volatile stocks are in comparison to others.

Machine Learning Tasks:

1)Stock Price Prediction: Use time-series forecasting models like ARIMA, SARIMA, or Prophet to predict future stock prices for a particular company. Evaluate the models' performance using metrics like Mean Squared Error (MSE) or Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE).

2)Classification of Stock Movements: Create a binary classification model to predict whether a stock will rise or fall on the next trading day. Utilize features like historical price changes, volumes, and technical indicators for the predictions. Implement classifiers such as Logistic Regression, Random Forest, or Support Vector Machines (SVM).

3)Clustering Analysis: Cluster companies based on their historical stock performance using unsupervised learning algorithms like K-means clustering. Explore if companies with similar stock price patterns belong to specific industry sectors.

4)Anomaly Detection: Detect anomalies in stock prices or trading volumes that deviate significantly from the historical trends. Use techniques like Isolation Forest or One-Class SVM for anomaly detection.

5)Reinforcement Learning for Portfolio Optimization: Formulate the stock market data as a reinforcement learning problem to optimize a portfolio's performance. Apply algorithms like Q-Learning or Deep Q-Networks (DQN) to learn the optimal trading strategy.
