Stock price forecast of macro-economic factor using recurrent neural network

Abstract

<span id="docs-internal-guid-a29e641b-7fff-1dc7-f2b4-6f5488c7c0a5"><span>The stock market is one of the investment choices that always have traction from time to time. Aside from being a means of corporate funding, investing in the stock market can benefit investors. Investing also has a higher risk because the pattern of stock prices is volatile, which is caused by internal and external factors. One external factor that affects stock prices is the macro-economic, where these factors are events that occur in a country where one of the economic sectors affected is stock prices. Investors often feel confused about the right time in decisions making related to buying or selling stock. One way to look at how the prospect of stock prices is a stock price forecasting activity. For this study, we will be making use of the recurrent neural network (RNN) to forecast stock prices for the next periods. This research involves two variables: the closing stock price and the rupiah exchange rate against the dollar for the daily period. We achieve a MAPE value of 1.546% for RNN model without the variable foreign exchange rate and 1.558% for the RNN model that uses the foreign exchange rate against the dollar.</span></span>

Forecasting stock price movement direction by machine learning algorithm

“…An essential ANN consists of a linear combination of input variables that go through hidden layers and finally pass to the output. One of the crucial problems of ANN is training, which means optimization of input parameters [27]. In this case, the backpropagation algorithm (BP) is used.…”

Electricity consumption forecasting using DFT decomposition based hybrid ARIMA-DLSTM model

“…The capability and precision of supervised machine learning techniques was assessed in [30] and Gaussian process regression (GPR) was found to offer better predictions of energy consumption of office buildings. One of the most effective methods employed in the classification of time series data is recurrent neural network (RNN) [31], and has been used in forecasting stock prices [32]. ANNs have also been used in the improvement of forecasting for the prices of gold [33].…”
