The use of price–earnings ratios and dividend-price ratios as forecasting variables for the stock market is examined using aggregate annual US data 1871 to 2000 and aggregate quarterly data for twelve countries since 1970. Various simple efficient-markets models of financial markets imply that these ratios should be useful in forecasting future dividend growth, future earnings growth, or future...

Electricity price forecasting has become an integral part of power system operation and control. In this paper, a wavelet transform (WT) based neural network (NN) model to forecast price profile in a deregulated electricity market has been presented. The historical price data has been decomposed into wavelet domain constitutive sub series using WT and then combined with the other time domain va...

In this paper, a hybrid model integrating wavelet and least squares support machines (LSSVM) is proposed for crude oil price forecasting. In this model, Haar à trous wavelet transform is first selected to decompose an original time series into several sub-series with different scales. Then the LSSVM is used to predict each sub-series. And the final oil price forecasting is obtained by reconstru...

Electricity price forecasts have become a fundamental factor affecting the decision-making of all market participants. Extreme volatility has forced participants to hedge against volume risks and movements. Hence, getting an accurate forecast from few hours days ahead is very important challenging due various factors. This paper proposes integrated long-term recurrent convolutional network (ILR...
