Nonlinearity In Exchange Rates and Forecasting

Application of HS Meta-heuristic Algorithm in Designing a Mathematical Model for Forecasting P/E in the Panel Data Approach

In financial markets such as Tehran Stock Exchange, P/E coefficient, which is one of the most well-known instruments for evaluating stock prices in financial markets, is considered necessary for shareholders, investors, analysts and corporate executives. P/E is used as an important indicator in investment decisions. In this research, harmony search metaheuristic algorithm is used to select opti...

The Comparison among ARIMA and hybrid ARIMA-GARCH Models in Forecasting the Exchange Rate of Iran

This paper attempts to compare the forecasting performance of the ARIMA model and hybrid ARMA-GARCH Models by using daily data of the Iran’s exchange rate against the U.S. Dollar (IRR/USD) for the period of 20 March 2014 to 20 June 2015. The period of 20 March 2014 to 19 April 2015 was used to build the model while remaining data were used to do out of sample forecasting and check the forecasti...

A hybrid computational intelligence model for foreign exchange rate forecasting

Computational intelligence approaches have gradually established themselves as a popular tool for forecasting the complicated financial markets. Forecasting accuracy is one of the most important features of forecasting models; hence, never has research directed at improving upon the effectiveness of time series models stopped. Nowadays, despite the numerous time series forecasting models propos...

Forecasting about EURJPY exchange rate using hidden Markova model and CART classification algorithm

The goal of this paper is forecasting direction (increase or decrease) of EURJPY exchange rate in a day. For this purpose five major indicators are used. The indicators are exponential moving average (EMA), stochastic oscillator (KD), moving average convergence divergence (MACD), relative strength index (RSI) and Williams %R (WMS %R). Then a hybrid approach using hidden Markov models and CART c...
