Abstract: | Traditional forecasting models are not very effective in most financial time series. To address the problem, this study proposes a novel system for financial modeling and forecasting. In the first stage, wavelet analysis transforms the input space of raw data to a time-scale feature space suitable for financial modeling and forecasting. A spectral clustering algorithm is then used to partition the feature space into several disjointed regions according to their time series dynamics. In the second stage, multiple kernel partial least square regressors ideally suited to each partitioned region are constructed for final forecasting. The proposed model outperforms neural networks, SVMs, and traditional GARCH models, significantly reducing root-mean-squared forecasting errors. |
