A Hybrid Approach To Evaluate Stock Returns Using Data Mining Techniques (original) (raw)

Developing an approach to evaluate stocks by forecasting effective features with data mining methods

In this research, a novel approach is developed to predict stocks return and risks. In this three stage method, through a comprehensive investigation all possible features which can be effective on stocks risk and return are identified. Then, in the next stage risk and return are predicted by applying data mining techniques for the given features. Finally, we develop a hybrid algorithm, on the basis of filter and function- based clustering; the important features in risk and return prediction are selected then risk and return re-predicted. The results show that the proposed hybrid model is a proper tool for effective feature selection and these features are good indicators for the prediction of risk and return. To illustrate the approach as well as to train data and test, we apply it to Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE) data from 2002 to 2011.

Stock Market Prediction using Data Mining Techniques

International Journal of Scientific Research in Computer Science, Engineering and Information Technology, 2020

Stock market is a very volatile in-deterministic system with vast number of factors influencing the direction of trend on varying scales and multiple layers. Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) states that the market is unbeatable. This makes predicting the uptrend or downtrend a very challenging task. This research aims to combine multiple existing techniques into a much more robust prediction model which can handle various scenarios in which investment can be beneficial. Existing techniques like sentiment analysis or neural network techniques can be too narrow in their approach and can lead to erroneous outcomes for varying scenarios. By combing both techniques, this prediction model can provide more accurate and flexible recommendations. Embedding Technical indicators will guide the investor to minimize the risk and reap better returns.

Journal of Emerging Technologies in Web Intelligence, 2013

With an easy access to share information and data nowadays, many investors worldwide are interested in predicting stock prices. The prediction of stock prices using data mining techniques applied to technical variables has been widely researched but not much research to date has been done in applying data mining techniques to both technical and fundamental information. This paper is based on a personal approach to stock selection, using both technical and fundamental information. In this paper we construct a framework that enables us to make class predictions about industrial stock performances. In order to have a systemized approach for the selection of stocks and a high likelihood of the performance of the stock price increasing, several analytical techniques are applied. A trading strategy is also designed and the performance of the stocks evaluated. Our two goals are to validate our stock selection methodology and to determine whether our trading strategy allows us to outperform the Australian market. Simulation results show that our selected stock portfolios outperform the Australian All-Ordinaries Index. Our findings justify the use of analytics for classification and prediction purposes. Further, in conclusion, we can safely say that our stock selection and trading strategy outperformed the Australian Ordinary index.

Forecasting the direction of stock market index movement using three data mining techniques: the case of Tehran Stock Exchange

Prediction of stock price return is a highly complicated and very difficult task because there are many factors such that may influence stock prices. An accurate prediction of movement direction of stock index is crucial for investors to make effective market trading strategies. However, because of the high nonlinearity of the stock market, it is difficult to reveal the inside law by the traditional forecast methods. In response to such difficulty, data mining techniques have been introduced and applied for this financial prediction. This study attempted to develop three models and compared their performances in predicting the direction of movement in daily Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE) index. The models are based on three classification techniques, Decision Tree, Random Forest and Naïve Bayesian Classifier. Ten microeconomic variables and three macroeconomic variables were chosen as inputs of the proposed models. Experimental results show that performance of Decision Tree model (80.08%) was found better than Random Forest (78.81%) and Naïve Bayesian Classifier (73.84%).

A Study on Stock Market Analysis for Stock Selection – Naïve Investors' Perspective using Data Mining Technique

An insight of stock market trends has been an area of vast interest both for those who wish to make profit by trading stocks in the stock market. Generally there is an opinion about stock market like high risk and high returns.Eventhough we have a huge number of potential investors, only very few of them are invested in the stock market. The main reason is the inability of risk taking skill of investors. Though get low returns they want to save their money. One important reason for this problem is that, they don't have a proper guidance for making their portfolio. In this paper we focus the real world problem; we had selected three indices such as CNX Realty, BANK NIFTY and MIDCAP 50. The analysis is purely based on the data collected from past three years. The Data mining technique, Time series interpretation is applied for the Data analysis to show the ups and downs of a particular index. The correlation and Beta are the tools which gives the suggestion about the stock and its risk. The correlation tool is used to identify the relationship between the index and company individually. This Beta is used to identify the risk associated with the stock.

Application of Data Mining Techniques to Classify World Stock Markets

It is imperative for the participants of stock markets to understand the characteristics of stock markets for effective decision making. However, it is difficult to understand the dynamics of every single market, so the classification of stock markets with similar characteristics as a group would be a great help for the stakeholders of the stock markets. There exist some classifications based on various socioeconomic and financial factors, which involve huge costs and also this cannot be verified as it is very complex to obtain the data on these variables. There are very few studies in the literature on the classification of markets with quantitative variables. In this context, this study aims at classifying the stock markets into different groups based on their key financial factors. This study considers forty-five stock markets for classification by using data mining techniques, viz. K-Means, Hierarchical, and Fuzzy C-Means. The results show that Fuzzy C-Means clustering is found to be the most suitable method.
