Predicting the future of a stock price is a difficult task due to the high level of randomness in the movement of prices. This research aims to use a machine-learning algorithm to estimate the closing stock price of a dataset to help aid in the prediction of stock prices leading to higher accuracy in prediction. The intention of the model is for it to be used as a day trading guide. The algorithm being used is called the least-squares linear regression model. It takes in a dependent variable, in this case, would be our closing price of the stock and an independent variable, which is the day each stock price was recorded.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
