Machine learning methods are being used by several researchers for successfully predicting prices of financial instruments from the financial time series data of different markets. As the nature of markets in different regions are different, in this paper two machine learning techniques: Back Propagation Technique (BP) and Support Vector Machine Technique (SVM) have been used to predict futures prices traded in Indian stock market. The performances of these techniques are compared and it is observed that SVM provides better performance results as compared to BP technique. The implementation is carried out using MATLAB and SVM Tools (LS-SVM Tool Box).
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.
