Jurik Research was founded in 1988 in Silicon Valley and develops algorithms that identify and classify complex data. Now that the cold war is over, signal processing skills originally intended for military projects are now successfully applied to the commercial arena, ... and you, the public, stand to benefit. From forecasting the price of aluminum futures to the cost of pumping natural gas across America, from predicting consumer food demand to sports results, Jurik Research innovated ways to "peek" into the future. Today, Jurik Research focusses mainly on the financial market.

Mark Jurik, its founder, specializes in data modeling and time series forecasting methods.
