Non-fixed and Asymmetrical Margin Approach to Stock Market Prediction Using Support Vector Regression
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recently, Support Vector Regression (SVR) has been applied to financial time series prediction. Typical characteristics of financial time series are non-stationary and noisy in nature. The volatility, usually time-varying, of the time series is therefore some valuable information about the series. Previously, we had proposed to use the volatility to adaptively change the width of the margin of SVR. We have noticed that upside margin and downside margin do not necessary be the same, and we have observed that their choice would affect the upside risk, downside risk and as well as the overall prediction result. In this paper, we introduce a novel approach to adapt the asymmetrical margins using momentum. We applied and compared this method to predict the Hang Seng Index and Dow Jones Industrial Average.

Stock Price Prediction using Machine Learning and Swarm Intelligence
Background and Objectives: Stock price prediction has become one of the interesting and also challenging topics for researchers in the past few years. Due to the non-linear nature of the time-series data of the stock prices, mathematical modeling approaches usually fail to yield acceptable results. Therefore, machine learning methods can be a promising solution to this problem. Methods: In this...
متن کاملMargin Variations in Support Vector Regression for the Stock Market Prediction
Support Vector Regression (SVR) has been applied successfully to financial time series prediction recently. In SVR, the ε-insensitive loss function is usually used to measure the empirical risk. The margin in this loss function is fixed and symmetrical. Typically, researchers have used methods such as crossvalidation or random selection to select a suitable ε for that particular data set. In ad...

Recently, Support Vector Regression (SVR) has been introduced to solve regression and prediction problems. In this paper, we apply SVR to financial prediction tasks. In particular, the financial data are usually noisy and the associated risk is time-varying. Therefore, our SVR model is an extension of the standard SVR which incorporates margins adaptation. By varying the margins of the SVR, we ...
