“…To overcome the challenges in the stock market analysis, several computational models based on soft-computing and machine learning paradigms have been used in the stock-market analysis, prediction, and trading. Techniques like Support Vector Machine (SVM) [2,5], DTs [6], neural networks [7], Naïve Bayes [8,9] and artificial neural networks (ANN) [10,11] were reported to have performed better in stockmarket prediction than conventional arithmetic methods like Logistic regression (LR), in respect of error prediction and accuracy. Nevertheless, ensemble learning (EL) based on a learning-paradigm that combines multiple learning algorithms, forming committees to improve-predictions (stacking and blending) or decrease variance (bagging), and bias (boosting) is believed to perform better than single classifiers and regressors [12,13].…”
