Wavelets in Multi-step-ahead Forecasting
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper investigates the possibility of obtaining long-into-the-future reliable forecasts of observed nonlinear cyclical phenomena. Unsmoothed monthly sunspot numbers that are characteristically cyclical with nonlinear dynamics as well as their wavelet-transformed and wavelet-denoised series are forecasted through October 2008. The objective is to determine whether modelling wavelet-conversions of a series provides reasonable forecasts. Two computational techniques – neural networks and genetic programming – are used to model the dynamics of the series. Statistical comparison of their ex post forecasts is then used to identify the data set and computational technique to use under the circumstances. Copyright © 2005 IFAC

The Stock Returns Volatility based on the GARCH (1,1) Model: The Superiority of the Truncated Standard Normal Distribution in Forecasting Volatility
I n this paper, we specify that the GARCH(1,1) model has strong forecasting volatility and its usage under the truncated standard normal distribution (TSND) is more suitable than when it is under the normal and student-t distributions. On the contrary, no comparison was tried between the forecasting performance of volatility of the daily return series using the multi-step ahead forec...
متن کاملMulti-Step-Ahead Prediction of Stock Price Using a New Architecture of Neural Networks
Modelling and forecasting Stock market is a challenging task for economists and engineers since it has a dynamic structure and nonlinear characteristic. This nonlinearity affects the efficiency of the price characteristics. Using an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is a proper way to model this nonlinearity and it has been used successfully in one-step-ahead and multi-step-ahead prediction of di...
متن کاملPresenting a model for Multiple-step-ahead-Forecasting of volatility and Conditional Value at Risk in fossil energy markets
Fossil energy markets have always been known as strategic and important markets. They have a significant impact on the macro economy and financial markets of the world. The nature of these markets are accompanied by sudden shocks and volatility in the prices. Therefore, they must be controlled and forecasted by using appropriate tools. This paper adopts the Generalized Auto Regressive Condition...
متن کاملA review and comparison of strategies for multi-step ahead time series forecasting based on the NN5 forecasting competition
Multi-step ahead forecasting is still an open challenge in time series forecasting. Several approaches that deal with this complex problem have been proposed in the literature but an extensive comparison on a large number of tasks is still missing. This paper aims to fill this gap by reviewing existing strategies for multi-step ahead forecasting and comparing them in theoretical and practical t...

Extensive empirical experience suggests that traditional forecasting approaches are subject to more or less severe model misspecifications which affect true (out-of-sample) oneas well as multi-step ahead forecasting performances. The main problems are due to non-stationarity and non-Gaussianity. In order to overcome these difficulties, we propose a prototypical design derived from a traditional...
