A New Method for Crude Oil Price Forecasting Based on Support Vector Machines

چکیده
This paper proposes a new method for crude oil price forecasting based on support vector machine (SVM). The procedure of developing a support vector machine model for time series forecasting involves data sampling, sample preprocessing, training & learning and out-of-sample forecasting. To evaluate the forecasting ability of SVM, we compare its performance with those of ARIMA and BPNN. The experiment results show that SVM outperforms the other two methods and is a fairly good candidate for the crude oil price prediction.

Crude Oil Price Forecasting with an Improved Model Based on Wavelet Transform and Support Vector Machines
This paper presents a hybrid wavelet support vector machines (WSVM) model that combines both wavelet technique and the SVM model for crude oil price forecasting. Based on the purpose, the main time series was decomposed to some multi-frequently time series by wavelet theory and these time series were imposed as input data to the SVM for forecasting of crude oil price series. To assess the effec...
متن کاملHybridizing Wavelet and Least Squares Support Vector Machines for Crude Oil Price Forecasting
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...

       This paper proposes a new forecasting model for investigating relationship between the price of crude oil, as an important energy source and GDP of the US, as the largest oil consumer, and the UK, as the oil producer. GMDH neural network and MLFF neural network approaches, which are both non-linear models, are employed to forecast GDP responses to the oil price changes. The resul...

متن کاملImproved Crude Oil Price Forecasting With Statistical Learning Methods
Reliable forecasts of the price of oil are of interest for a wide range of applications. For example, central banks and private sector forecasters view the price of oil as one of the key variables in generating macroeconomic projections and in assessing macroeconomic risks. Of particular interest is the question of the extent to which the price of oil is helpful in predicting recessions. This p...
