A Performance Analysis of Stochastic Processes and Machine Learning Algorithms in Stock Market Prediction
Mohammed Bouasabah
Abstract:In this study, we compare the performance of stochastic processes, namely, the Vasicek, Cox–Ingersoll–Ross (CIR), and geometric Brownian motion (GBM) models, with that of machine learning algorithms, such as Random Forest, Support Vector Machine (SVM), and k-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), for predicting the trends of stock indices XLF (financial sector), XLK (technology sector), and XLV (healthcare sector). The results showed that stochastic processes achieved remarkable prediction performance, especially the CIR mo… Show more
