Fuzzy ARIMA model for forecasting the foreign exchange market

Fuzzy Sets and Systems, 2001

Considering the time-series ARIMA(p, d, q) model and fuzzy regression model, this paper develops a fuzzy ARIMA (FARIMA) model and applies it to forecasting the exchange rate of NT dollars to US dollars. This model includes interval models with interval parameters and the possibility distribution of future values is provided by FARIMA. This model makes it possible for decision makers to forecast the best-and worst-possible situations based on fewer observations than the ARIMA model.

Hybrid Fuzzy Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average (FARIMAH) Model for Forecasting the Foreign Exchange Markets

International Journal of Computational Intelligence Systems, 2013

Improving forecasting especially time series forecasting accuracy is an important yet often difficult task facing forecasters. Fuzzy autoregressive integrated moving average (FARIMA) models are the fuzzy improved version of the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) models, proposed in order to overcome limitations of the traditional ARIMA models; especially data limitation, and yield more accurate results. However, the forecasted interval of the FARIMA models may be very wide in some specific Circumstances. For instance, when data has high volatility or includes a significant difference or outliers. In this paper, a new hybrid model of FARIMA models is proposed by combining with probabilistic neural classifiers, called FARIMAH, in order to yield a more general and more accurate model than FARIMA models for financial forecasting in incomplete data situations. The main idea of the proposed model is based on this fact that the distribution of the actual values in the forecasted interval by FARIMA is not uniform. Thus, by detecting the spaces with more probability for actual values using the probabilistic classifier, narrower interval than traditional FARIMA models can be obtained. Empirical results of exchange rate markets forecasting indicate that the proposed model exhibit effectively improved forecasting accuracy, so it can be used as an alternative model to exchange rate forecasting, especially when the scant data made available over a short span of time.

A Comparative Analysis of Artificial Neural Network and Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average Model on Modeling and Forecasting Exchange Rate

World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology, International Journal of Social, Behavioral, Educational, Economic, Business and Industrial Engineering, 2017

This paper examines the forecasting performance of Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) models with the published exchange rate obtained from South African Reserve Bank (SARB). ARIMA is one of the popular linear models in time series forecasting for the past decades. ARIMA and ANN models are often compared and literature revealed mixed results in terms of forecasting performance. The study used the MSE and MAE to measure the forecasting performance of the models. The empirical results obtained reveal the superiority of ARIMA model over ANN model. The findings further resolve and clarify the contradiction reported in literature over the superiority of ARIMA and ANN models.

A Comparative Study between Time Series and Neural Network for Exchange Rate Forecasting

Exchange rate forecasting has become a new research topic in present time for best market strategy, planning of investment for investor in foreign project and also for business profit. The methods or process which give the accurate forecasting result are not easy because there are several types of forecasting methods. Exchange Rate Forecasting is most important financial topic for individual investor, stock fund manager, financial analyst for their investment and stock market. Forecasting is to predict the future value of a particular field with the help of previous value or history. Various types of forecasting can be possible like exchange rate forecasting, stock market forecasting, gold price forecasting which affects the economy of a country. Now, there is a drastic change in Indian Rupee(INR) in terms of United State Dollar(USD) from 2009 to 2014. In exchange rate forecasting, there are various type of performance parameter on the basic of error by which we can consider which method gives the best forecasting result. These are mean square error, mean absolute error, root mean square error etc. Error can be calculate as the difference between the actual value and forecasted value. Neural Network gives the better result than time series method. Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System is better than Time Series Method and Neural Network. Many factor affects the Indian Rupee which are Economic Activities, Interest Rate, Stock, Money Supply, In neural network, total data set can be divided into training and testing data and then train the dataset. According to the training, error can be calculated and compare with time series.

Exchange Rate Forecasting using ARIMA, NAR and ARIMA-ANN Hybrid Model

2017

In this paper we have studied the time serie of USD/ALL exchange rate. Based on the data of USD/ALL for the years 2000-2015, with monthly frequency, obtained by the Bank of Albania, we have done its modeling and forecasting using three types of methods: the autoregressive integrated moving average ARIMA, nonlinear autoregresive neural network (NAR) and the proposed hybrid method of ARIMA-ANN. As exchange rates are influenced by many political, economic and psychological factors, it is difficult to identify a unique economic model which can yield stable forecasts. However, we have used the univariate time series model, where is considered only the records of a single variable, exchange rate. We make the technical analysis, using the historical data to build the model to forecast future rate. The empirical analysis has shown very good results, mainly in the proposed hybrid model. The performance of the three methods was compared based on standard statistical measures. The ARIMA-ANN mo...

High order fuzzy time series for exchange rates forecasting

2011 3rd Conference on Data Mining and Optimization (DMO), 2011

Fuzzy time series model has been employed by many researchers in various forecasting activities such as university enrolment, temperature, direct tax collection and the most popular stock price forecasting. However exchange rate forecasting especially using high order fuzzy time series has been given less attention despite its huge contribution in business transactions. The paper aims to test the forecasting of US dollar (USD) against Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) exchange rates using high order fuzzy time series and check its accuracy. Twenty five data set of the exchange rates USD against MYR was tested to the seven-step of high fuzzy time series. The results show that higher order fuzzy time series yield very small errors thereby the model does produce a good forecasting tool for the exchange rates.

Forecasting exchange rates: A neuro-fuzzy approach

2009

This paper presents an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) for USD/JPY exchange rates forecasting. Previous work often used time series techniques and neural networks (NN). ANFIS can be used to better explain solutions to users than completely black-box models, such as NN. The proposed neurofuzzy rule based system applies some technical and fundamental indexes as input variables. In order to generate membership functions (MFs), we make use of fuzzy clustering of the output space. The neuro-fuzzy model is tested with 28 candidate input variables for both currencies. For the purpose of comparison, Sugeno-Yasukawa model, feedforward multi-layer neural network, and multiple regression are benchmarked. The comparison demonstrates that the presented algorithm shows its superiority in terms of prediction error minimization, robustness and flexibility.

Forecasting Exchange Rates using Time Series and Neural Network Approaches

Exchange rates play an important role in controlling dynamics of the foreign exchange market. Predicting exchange rates has become one of the most challenging applications of financial time series forecasting due to its unpredictability and volatility. This research study is to develop and compare the accuracy of two models; Generalized Auto-Regressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (GARCH) as the time series model and Feedforward neural network with the Backpropagation algorithm as the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model for predicting daily currency exchange rate of US Dollar against Sri Lankan Rupee (USD/LKR). For both models, past lagged observations of the data series and moving average technical indicators were employed as the explanatory variables and the predictive performance were evaluated using a number of widely used statistical metric. According to the performance of two models, it can be concluded that the ANN based model performs better when compared with the GARCH ...

A Fuzzy Model for Interval-Valued Time Series Modeling and Application in Exchange Rate Forecasting

Information Processing and Management of Uncertainty in Knowledge-Based Systems

Financial interval time series (ITS) is a time series whose value at each time step is an interval composed by the low and the high price of an asset. The low-high price range is related to the concept of volatility because it inherits intraday price variability. Accurate forecasting of price ranges is essential for derivative pricing, trading strategies, risk management, and portfolio allocation. This paper suggests a fuzzy rule-based approach to model and to forecast interval-valued time series. The model is a collection of functional fuzzy rules with affine consequents capable to express the nonlinear relationships encountered in interval-valued data. An application concerning one-step-ahead forecast of interval-valued EUR/USD exchange rate using actual data is also addressed. The forecast performance of the fuzzy rule-based model is compared to that of traditional econometric time series methods and alternative interval models employing statistical criteria for both, low and high exchange rate prices. The results show that fuzzy rule-based modeling approach developed in this paper outperforms the random walk, and other competitive approaches in out-of-sample interval-valued exchange rate forecasting.

HYBRID SYSTEM APPLICATION FOR TIME SERIES FORECASTING: THE CASE OF MYR/USD EXCHANGE RATE

Exchange rate prediction is a great interest and also is an important task, because, successful prediction of exchange rate may promise attractive benefits. This task is very difficult and highly complicated. In this paper, we investigate the predictability of exchange rate' return with a Neuro-Fuzzy system (as an intelligence system) that is a combination of neural networks and fuzzy inference system. The main purpose of this research is to determine whether a Neuro-Fuzzy system is capable to predict the exchange rate' return accurately. We attempt to model and predict the return on Malaysia Ringgit return (MYR/USD) with Neuro-Fuzzy system. The theory of relative price monetary model of exchange rate determination is used to determine the macro variables as inputs for the developed system. The experimental results reveal that the model successfully forecasts the monthly return of MYR/USD with a high accuracy. Furthermore, the constructed model easily outperformed the neural...
