Stock market forecasting by using a hybrid model of exponential fuzzy time series

The initial aim of this study is to propose a hybrid method based on exponential fuzzy time series and learning automata based optimization for stock market forecasting. For doing so, a two-phase approach is introduced. In the first phase, the optimal lengths of intervals are obtained by applying a conventional fuzzy time series together with learning automata swarm intelligence algorithm to tune the length of intervals properly. Subsequently, the obtained optimal lengths are applied to generate a new fuzzy time series, proposed in this study, named exponential fuzzy time series. In this final phase, due to the nature of exponential fuzzy time series, another round of optimization is required to estimate certain method parameters. Finally, this model is used for future forecasts. In order to validate the proposed hybrid method, forty-six case studies from five stock index databases are employed and the findings are compared with well-known fuzzy time series models and classic methods for time series. The proposed model has outperformed its counterparts in terms of accuracy.

An improved fuzzy time series forecasting method using trapezoidal fuzzy numbers

One of the major drawbacks of the existing fuzzy time series forecasting models is the fact that they only provide a single-point forecasted value just like the output of the traditional time series methods. Hence, they cannot provide a decision analyst more useful information. The aim of this present research is to design an improved fuzzy time series forecasting method in which the forecasted value will be a trapezoidal fuzzy number instead of a single-point value. Furthermore, the proposed method may also increase the forecasting accuracy. Two numerical data sets were used to illustrate the proposed method and compare the forecasting accuracy with three fuzzy time series methods. The results of the comparison indicate that the proposed method can generate forecasting values that are more accurate.

Type-2 T–S fuzzy impulsive control of nonlinear systems

A novel impulsive control approach based on interval Type-2 T–S fuzzy model has been presented for nonlinear systems in this paper. This approach makes up for the drawback of Type-1 fuzzy impulsive control, which cannot fully handle the uncertainties in describing the complex nonlinear systems by Type-1 fuzzy membership functions and cannot give rigorous fuzzy rules. Further more, this approach uses the “broad band” effect of the Type-2 membership functions to solve the noise of training data and exterior disturbance of the Type-1 fuzzy impulsive control. By using Lyapunov theory and Lipschitz condition, which is combined with integrated approaches such as comparison methods and linear matrix inequalities, the Type-2 fuzzy impulsive controller is designed and the general asymptotical stability analysis of the systems is given. Finally, the simulation of the inverted pendulum model demonstrates the validity and superiority of the proposed method by easily determining the membership functions and choosing minimum number of fuzzy rules and the method can handle random disturbance and data uncertainties very well.

Handling forecasting problems using fuzzy time series

In [6–9], Song et al. proposed fuzzy time-series models to deal with forecasting problems. In [10], Sullivan and Woodall reviewed the first-order time-invariant fuzzy time series model and the first-order time-variant model proposed by Song and Chissom [6–8], where the models are compared with each other and with a time-invariant Markov model using linguistic labels with probability distributions. In this paper, we propose a new method to forecast university enrollments, where the historical enrollments of the University of Alabama shown in [7,8] are used to illustrate the forecasting process. The average forecasting errors and the time complexity of these methods are compared. The proposed method is more efficient than the ones presented in [7, 8, 10] due to the fact that the proposed method simplifies the arithmetic operation process. Furthermore, the average forecasting error of the proposed method is smaller than the ones presented in [2, 7, 8].     

Forecasting portfolio returns using weighted fuzzy time series methods

We propose using weighted fuzzy time series (FTS) methods to forecast the future performance of returns on portfolios. We model the uncertain parameters of the fuzzy portfolio selection models using a possibilistic interval-valued mean approach, and approximate the uncertain future return on a given portfolio by means of a trapezoidal fuzzy number. Introducing some modifications into the classical models of fuzzy time series, based on weighted operators, enables us to generate trapezoidal numbers as forecasts of the future performance of the portfolio returns. This fuzzy forecast makes it possible to approximate both the expected return and the risk of the investment through the value and ambiguity of a fuzzy number.We incorporate our proposals into classical fuzzy time series methods and analyze their effectiveness compared with classical weighted fuzzy time series models, using historical returns on assets from the Spanish stock market. When our weighted FTS proposals are used to point-wise forecast portfolio returns the one-step ahead accuracy is improved, also with respect to non-fuzzy forecasting methods.

A Novel Fuzzy Document Based Information Retrieval Model for Forecasting

Information retrieval systems are generally used to find documents that are most appropriate according to some query that comes dynamically from users. In this paper a novel Fuzzy Document based Information Retrieval Model (FDIRM) is proposed for the purpose of Stock Market Index forecasting. The novelty of proposed approach is a modified tf-idf scoring scheme to predict the future trend of the stock market index. The contribution of this paper has two dimensions, 1) In the proposed system the simple time series is converted to an enriched fuzzy linguistic time series with a unique approach of incorporating market sentiment related information along with the price and 2) A unique approach is followed while modeling the information retrieval (IR) system which converts a simple IR system into a forecasting system. From the performance comparison of FDIRM with standard benchmark models it can be affirmed that the proposed model has a potential of becoming a good forecasting model. The stock market data provided by Standard & Poor’s CRISIL NSE Index 50 (CNX NIFTY-50 index) of National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) is used to experiment and validate the proposed model. The authentic data for validation and experimentation is obtained from http://www.nseindia.com which is the official website of NSE. A java program is under construction to implement the model in real-time with graphical users’ interface.     

Using interval information granules to improve forecasting in fuzzy time series

In the process of modeling and forecasting of fuzzy time series, an issue on how to partition the universe of discourse impacts the quality of the forecasting performance of the constructed fuzzy time series model. In this paper, a novel method of partitioning the universe of discourse of time series based on interval information granules is proposed for improving forecasting accuracy of model. In the method, the universe of discourse of time series is first pre-divided into some intervals according to the predefined number of intervals to be partitioned, and then information granules are constructed in the amplitude-change space on the basis of data of time series belonging to each of intervals and their corresponding change (trends). In the sequel, optimal intervals are formed by continually adjusting width of these intervals to make information granules which associate with the corresponding intervals become most “informative”. Three benchmark time series are used to perform experiments to validate the feasibility and effectiveness of proposed method. The experimental results clearly show that the proposed method produces more reasonable intervals exhibiting sound semantics. When using the proposed partitioning method to determine intervals for modeling of fuzzy time series, forecasting accuracy of the constructed model are prominently enhanced.     

Evolutionary learning of fuzzy grey cognitive maps for the forecasting of multivariate,interval-valued time series

Time series are built as a result of real-valued observations ordered in time; however, in some cases, the values of the observed variables change significantly, and those changes do not produce useful information. Therefore, within defined periods of time, only those bounds in which the variables change are considered. The temporal sequence of vectors with the interval-valued elements is called a ‘multivariate interval-valued time series.’ In this paper, the problem of forecasting such data is addressed. It is proposed to use fuzzy grey cognitive maps (FGCMs) as a nonlinear predictive model. Using interval arithmetic, an evolutionary algorithm for learning FGCMs is developed, and it is shown how the new algorithm can be applied to learn FGCMs on the basis of historical time series data. Experiments with real meteorological data provided evidence that, for properly-adjusted learning and prediction horizons, the proposed approach can be used effectively to the forecasting of multivariate, interval-valued time series. The domain-specific interpretability of the FGCM-based model that was obtained also is confirmed.

Improved time-variant fuzzy time series forecast

Since Song and Chissom (Fuzzy Set Syst 54:1–9, 1993a) first proposed the structure of fuzzy time series forecast, researchers have devoted themselves to related studies. Among these studies, Hwang et al. (Fuzzy Set Syst 100:217–228, 1998) revised Song and Chissom’s method, and generated better forecasted results. In their method, however, several factors that affect the accuracy of forecast are not taken into consideration, such as levels of window base, length of interval, degrees of membership values, and the existence of outliers. Focusing on these factors, this study proposes an improved fuzzy time series forecasting method. The improved method can provide decision-makers with more precise forecasted values. Two numerical examples are employed to illustrate the proposed method, as well as to compare the forecasting accuracy of the proposed method with that of two fuzzy forecasting methods. The results of the comparison indicate that the proposed method produces more accurate forecasting results.
