Multi-period Trading Prediction Markets with Connections to Machine Learning

چکیده
We present a new model for prediction markets, in which we use risk measures to model agents and introduce a market maker to describe the trading process. This specific choice on modelling tools brings us mathematical convenience. The analysis shows that the whole market effectively approaches a global objective, despite that the market is designed such that each agent only cares about its own goal. Additionally, the market dynamics provides a sensible algorithm for optimising the global objective. An intimate connection between machine learning and our markets is thus established, such that we could 1) analyse a market by applying machine learning methods to the global objective, and 2) solve machine learning problems by setting up and running certain markets.

متن کاملConvergence Analysis of Prediction Markets via Randomized Subspace Descent
Prediction markets are economic mechanisms for aggregating information about future events through sequential interactions with traders. The pricing mechanisms in these markets are known to be related to optimization algorithms in machine learning and through these connections we have some understanding of how equilibrium market prices relate to the beliefs of the traders in a market. However, ...
متن کاملData mining for financial prediction and trading: application to single and multiple markets
An alluring aspect of financial investment lies in the opportunity for respectable returns even in the absence of prediction. For instance, a portfolio tied to the S and P500 would have yielded a compound annual return in the teens over the last half century. Over the same period, a portfolio tracking the fast-growth economies of the Far East would have provided even higher returns. Previous re...
