Random Forest Prediction of IPO Underpricing

Abstract: Abstract:The prediction of initial returns on initial public offerings (IPOs) is a complex matter. The independent variables identified in the literature mix strong and weak predictors, their explanatory power is limited, and samples include a sizable number of outliers. In this context, we suggest that random forests are a potentially powerful tool. In this paper, we benchmark this algorithm against a set of eight classic machine learning algorithms. The results of this comparison show that random forests out… Show more

“…This chapter is divided into 2 parts: data description and experimental results. To demonstrate completely the performance of WindNet proposed in this paper, this chapter will also include comparisons of very popular and commonly used machine learning algorithms, such as support vector machine (SVM) [33][34][35][36][37][38], random forest (RF) [39][40][41][42][43][44], decision tree (DT) [45][46][47][48][49][50] and MLP.…”

“…The Random Forests model (abbreviated as RF) [19] is one of the most popular machine-learning algorithms available today. Due to the advantages such as simple-structure, easy-implementation [19], anti-overfitting nature [20], etc., RF has been widely used in many fields, such as image recognition [21], geography [22], economics [23], manufacturing [24], agriculture [25] and nanomaterials [26]. Compared to ANN and SVR, RF has a deeper model structure and works better for datasets with steep-manifold characteristic [27].…”

“…In order to fully demonstrate the performance of the EPNet proposed in this paper, this chapter includes comparisons between Support Vector Machine (SVM) [25][26][27][28][29][30], Random Forest (RF) [31][32][33][34][35][36], Decision Tree (DT) [37][38][39][40][41][42], MLP, CNN and LSTM. Figure 6 is the Electric Power Markets (PJM) Regulation Zone Preliminary Billing Data [43] used in this experiment, this data records the regulation market capacity clearing price of every half hour in 2017.…”
