Modelling Financial Time series using Grammatical Evolution
نویسندگان
چکیده
The traditional models of price, and its statistical signatures are often based on limiting assumptions, such as linearity. Moreover, the model developer is faced with the model selection problem, and model uncertainty. In this paper we introduce a method based on Grammatical Evolution (GE) to evolve models for predicting financial returns, and we examine the profitability of these models. Our empirical analysis demonstrates that for some securities our method is able to produce models of return that are lead to more profitable trading compared with an Autoregressive model picked using Aikake Information Criterion (AIC), under the assumption of frictionless markets.

Biologically Inspired Algorithms for Financial Modelling - ReadingSample
1 Introduction Over the last decade, a considerable literature on biologically inspired algorithms (BIA) has emerged. These powerful algorithms can be used for prediction and classification, and have clear application for use in financial modelling and in the development of trading systems. Financial markets represent a complex, ever-changing, environment in which a population of investors are ...
متن کاملGrammatical Evolution And Corporate Failure Prediction
This study examines the potential of Grammatical Evolution to uncover a series of useful rules which can assist in predicting corporate failure using information drawn from financial statements. A sample of 178 publically quoted, failed and non-failed US firms, drawn from the period 1991 to 2000 are used to train and test the model. The preliminary findings indicate that the methodology has muc...

Grammatical Evolution (GE) is a novel data-driven, model-induction tool, inspired by the biological gene-to-protein mapping process. This study provides an introduction to GE, and demonstrates the methodology by applying it to construct a series of models for the prediction of bankruptcy, employing information drawn from financial statements. Unlike prior studies in this domain, the raw financi...
متن کاملVolatility Modelling of Multivariate Financial Time Series by Using ICA-GARCH Models
Volatility modelling of asset returns is an important aspect for many financial applications, e.g., option pricing and risk management. GARCH models are usually used to model the volatility processes of financial time series. However, multivariate GARCH modelling of volatilities is still a challenge due to the complexity of parameters estimation. To solve this problem, we suggest using Independ...

Financial Time Series prediction attempts to model the behavior of financial markets using, among other things, tools like technical, intermarket, and fundamental indicators. Accurate prediction, however, is difficult for a number of reasons: financial markets are influenced, often in a non-linear, sometimes time-lagged fashion, by factors including interest and exchange rates, the rate of econ...
