Forecasting Bank Stock Market Prices With a Hybrid Method: The Case of Alpha Bank / Vertybinių Popierių Kainų Prognozavimas Hibridiniu Metodu: Alpha Bank Pavyzdys

Abstract

Abstract. The present study aims at constructing Confi dence Intervals (C.I) for the predicted values of a Time Series with the application of a Hybrid method. The presented methodology is complicated and thus is completed in different stages. Initially the Artifi cial Neural Networks (ANNs) is applied on the raw time series in order to estimate C.I of the forecasts. Then, the Bootstrap method is employed on the residuals generated by the preceded process. On the upper and lower limit of the estimated C.I., two new ANNs are employed in order to make point estimations (of the upper and lower limits) using of Object Oriented Programming. For the empirical analysis daily observations of the closing prices of Alpha Bank stocks have been used. The sample period is extended from 28/01/2004 until 30/11/2005. The nonstationarity of the time series employed in our study is not a forbidding condition for the estimation of the confi dence intervals, in our case, since the level of bootstrap still provides a satisfactory approximation for the roots arbitrarily close to unity (Berkowitz, Kilian 1996). The accuracy of the forecasts was surveyed with the use of different criteria and the results were satisfactory.

Forecasting the Urban Expansion Effects on the Design Storm Hydrograph and Sediment Yield Using Artificial Neural Networks

“…The meaning of the weight value is to show us how important the contribution of the specified signal is to the configuration of the network structure for the two neurons that it connects. Each neuron has only one output, which is a function of the input signals [50][51][52][53]. The ANN in this project is a feed forward network with one input layer, one hidden layer and one output layer.…”

Predicting Housing Sales in Turkey Using Arima, LSTM and Hybrid Models

“…They used ARIMA, ANN and HYBRID models for estimation and obtained the best estimation results using the ARIMA-ANN HY-BRID model (Koutroumanidis et al, 2009). Koutroumanidis, Ioannou, and Zafeiriou (2011) aimed to establish confidence intervals for predicted values of a time series in their studies for predicting stock market prices with hybrid method. Daily closing prices of the shares of Alpha Bank from 28/01/2004 to 30/11/2005 were used as samples of the study.…”

“…For the estimation, ANN was applied to the raw data and then the market prices were estimated using the Bootstrap method. Estimation accuracy was measured by using different criteria and satisfactory results were obtained (Koutroumanidis et al, 2011). Ioannou, Birbilis, and Lefakis (2011) presented a method for estimating the likelihood of the Ring Shake appearance in planted chestnut trees.…”

A Comparative Analysis of Alternative Univariate Time Series Models in Forecasting Turkish Inflation

“…Among others, artificial neural network models (ANNs) have emerged as a powerful statistical modeling technique for nonlinear modeling of time series and applied into various case studies (Gonzalez 2000;Tkacz 2001;Zhang et al 1998). Although these models have numerous advantages such as letting more general and flexible formations that can approximate any continuous measurable function with arbitrarily desired accuracy level (Cybenko 1989;Hornik et al 1989;Hornik 1993;Koutroumanidisa et al 2011), the theoretical superiority of ANNs to the linear models is not yet to be justified in forecasting performances (Moshiri, Cameron 2000;Clements et al 2004) 1 .…”
