Financial Time Series Forecasting with Grouped Predictors using Hierarchical Clustering and Support Vector Regression
نویسنده
چکیده
Financial time series prediction is regarded as one of the most challengingtasks due to the inherent noise and non-stationality of the data. This paperproposed a two-stage financial time series prediction approach hybridizingsupport vector regression (SVR) with hierarchical clustering (HC). By averaging the variables within the clusters obtained from hierarchical clustering, we define super predictors and use them as the input variables of the SVRforecasting model. Although averaging is a simple technique, it plays animportant role in reducing variance. To evaluate the performance of theproposed approach, the Shanghai-Shenzhen 300 index is used as illustrativeexample. The experimental results show that the proposed approach outperforms both the SVR model with principal component analysis and the SVRmodel with genetic algorithms in average prediction error and predictionaccuracy.

Financial time series forecasting using independent component analysis and support vector regression
As financial time series are inherently noisy and non-stationary, it is regarded as one of the most challenging applications of time series forecasting. Due to the advantages of generalization capability in obtaining a unique solution, support vector regression (SVR) has also been successfully applied in financial time series forecasting. In the modeling of financial time series using SVR, one ...

Stock price prediction has attracted much attention from both practitioners and researchers. However, most studies in this area ignored the non-stationary nature of stock price series. That is, stock price series do not exhibit identical statistical properties at each point of time. As a result, the relationships between stock price series and their predictors are quite dynamic. It is challengi...
