Wavelet decomposition in signal processing has been widely used in the literature. The popularity of machine learning (ML) algorithms is increasing day by day in agriculture, from irrigation scheduling and yield prediction to price prediction. It is quite interesting to study wavelet-based stochastic and ML models to appropriately choose the most suitable wavelet filters to predict agricultural commodity prices. In the present study, some popular wavelet filters, such as Haar, Daubechies (D4), Coiflet (C6), best localized (BL14), and least asymmetric (LA8), were considered. Daily wholesale price data of onions from three major Indian markets, namely Bengaluru, Delhi, and Lasalgaon, were used to illustrate the potential of different wavelet filters. The performance of wavelet-based models was compared with that of benchmark models. It was observed that, in general, the wavelet-based combination models outperformed other models. Moreover, wavelet decomposition with the Haar filter followed by application of the random forest (RF) model gave better prediction accuracy than other combinations as well as other individual models.
