Dear Organizing Committee,
I would like to seek clarification regarding one of the suggested datasets for Phase 3 of the competition.
The guidelines list the Oxford-Man Institute Realized Volatility Library as a recommended data source. However, it appears that the official dataset is no longer available from its original source.
Could you please clarify whether:
- it is acceptable to use a copy of the dataset obtained from a reputable third-party source (e.g., Kaggle or another public repository), or
- there is an official replacement or an alternative dataset that you recommend for this competition?
We would appreciate your guidance to ensure that our dataset selection complies with the competition requirements.
Thank you for your time and assistance. I look forward to your response.
Kind regards,
Hasarindu Perera
