Abstract:

This research is related to the usefulness of different machine learning methods in forecasting time series on financial markets. The main issue in this field is that economic managers and scientific society are still longing for more accurate forecasting algorithms. Fulfilling this request leads to an increase in forecasting quality and, therefore, more profitability and efficiency. In this paper, while we introduce the most efficient features, we will show how valuable results could be achieved by the use of a financial time series technical variables that exist on the Tehran stock market. The suggested method benefits from regression-based machine learning algorithms with a focus on selecting the leading features to find the best technical variables of the inputs. The mentioned procedures were implemented using machine learning tools using the Python language. The dataset used in this paper was the stock information of two companies from the Tehran Stock Exchange, regarding 2008 to 2018 financial activities. Experimental results show that the selected technical features by the leading methods could find the best and most efficient values for the parameters of the algorithms. The use of those values results in forecasting with a minimum error rate for stock data.

Algorithms for Segmenting Time Series

As with most computer science problems, representation of the data is the key to ecient and eective solutions. Piecewise linear representation has been used for the representation of the data. This representation has been used by various researchers to support clustering, classication, indexing and association rule mining of time series data. A variety of algorithms have been proposed to obtain...

Financial Time Series Forecasting – a Machine Learning Approach

The Stock Market is known for its volatile and unstable nature. A particular stock could be thriving in one period and declining in the next. Stock traders make money from buying equity when they are at their lowest and selling when they are at their highest. The logical question would be: "What Causes Stock Prices To Change?". At the most fundamental level, the answer to this would be the dema...

Machine learning algorithms in air quality modeling

Modern studies in the field of environment science and engineering show that deterministic models struggle to capture the relationship between the concentration of atmospheric pollutants and their emission sources. The recent advances in statistical modeling based on machine learning approaches have emerged as solution to tackle these issues. It is a fact that, input variable type largely affec...
