A Hybrid Model for Financial Time Series Forecasting—Integration of EWT, ARIMA With The Improved ABC Optimized ELM

Abstract

The practical significances and complexities of financial time series analysis induce highly demand more reliable hybrid model that denoised the data efficiently, handled with both linear and nonlinear patterns in the data, to achieve more accurate results. This paper suggests a new forecasting hybrid model for financial time series data combined Empirical Wavelet Transform (EWT) technique with improved Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm, Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) neural network, and Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) linear analysis algorithm. The EWT is used to decompose and denoise the data to reconstruct the data more suitable for forecast. The improvement of the ABC algorithm is according to the Good Point Sets (GPS) theory and adaptive Elite-based Opposition (EO) strategy (GPS-EO-ABC) to overcome the drawbacks of the original algorithm and enhance the optimization performance. The optimized ELM with GPS-EO-ABC, as well as the ARIMA, are utilized independently to generated different forecasting results and combined by the weight-based procession. We testify the performance of the proposed improved ABC algorithm by ten benchmark functions, simulating the proposed forecasting models by three financial time-series datasets. The results indicate that: (1) The proposed algorithm shows outstanding capacities in parameter optimization. The optimized ELM generated more stable and precise results compared with original ELM, ABC-ELM, single LSTM, and ANN; (2) The proposed hybrid model has not only effectiveness but also efficiencies in denoising data, correcting outliers, coordinating both linear and nonlinear patterns, its performance in financial time series forecasting is more excellent than existing hybrid models.INDEX TERMS Financial time-series forecasting, EWT data prepossessing, ARIMA model, GPS-EO-ABC ELM model, hybrid model methodology.

A Study on Stock Graph Recognition Based on Wavelet Denoising and DTW Algorithm

“…In addition to neural network algorithms, there are other algorithms such as SVMs that are combined with wavelet transforms. e experimental results also showed that the hybrid model incorporating the wavelet transform is better than the prediction using a single algorithm [29][30][31][32]. DTW is a kind of elastic measurement for calculating time series similarity [33][34][35].…”

Hybrid Basketball Game Outcome Prediction Model by Integrating Data Mining Methods for the National Basketball Association

“…Only the authors of [ 13 ] implemented data mining methods on NBA game score prediction. The five well-known data mining methods, including multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS), k-nearest neighbors (KNN), extreme learning machine (ELM), eXtreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), and stochastic gradient boosting (SGB), are used in this study for building an NBA game score prediction model, as they have been widely used in various applications such as public health [ 17 , 18 ], finance [ 19 , 20 ] and civil engineering [ 21 , 22 ]. Moreover, the five methods are also successfully applied in the sports outcomes prediction research [ 6 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 ].…”
