Currently, the method of quantitative investment is being intensively developed as a stage in the development of investment strategies on the stock exchange. This method is based on the development of specialized mathematical tools and investment algorithms.
In modern research of the stock market, specialists and scientists are improving algorithms and models, combining them with each other, with strategies and market conditions for stock selection. This paper presents an overview of stock selection models for quantitative investment, which was the basis for the proposed procedure and algorithm of quantitative investment, which allow modeling the investment process. The developed algorithm is based on the CART decision tree and Random Forest, which includes the bagging algorithm. The bagging algorithm divides the training set into several new training sets that build their own calculation models, and then their results are summed and integrated to obtain the final prediction. The randomness of Random Forest comes into play in the process of selecting samples from the training dataset and in selecting features to calculate the best split points. However, the proposed strategy is more stable than other stock selection strategies, is more suitable for building quantitative stock selection models, the proposed algorithm has an advantage over other algorithms, and is also more promising for further development.
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.
