Using Market News Sentiment Analysis for Stock Market Prediction

Abstract

(1) Background: Since the current crises that has inevitably impacted the financial market, market prediction has become more crucial than ever. The question of how risk managers can more accurately predict the evolution of their portfolio, while taking into consideration systemic risks brought on by a systemic crisis, is raised by the low rate of success of portfolio risk-management models. Sentiment analysis on natural language sentences can increase the accuracy of market prediction because financial markets are influenced by investor sentiments. Many investors also base their decisions on information taken from newspapers or on their instincts. (2) Methods: In this paper, we aim to highlight how sentiment analysis can improve the accuracy of regression models when predicting the evolution of the opening prices of some selected stocks. We aim to accomplish this by comparing the results and accuracy of two cases of market prediction using regression models with and without market news sentiment analysis. (3) Results: It is shown that the nonlinear autoregression model improves its goodness of fit when sentiment analysis is used as an exogenous factor. Furthermore, the results show that the polynomial autoregressions fit better than the linear ones. (4) Conclusions: Using the sentiment score for market modelling, significant improvements in the performance of linear autoregressions are showcased.

Enhancing the Prediction of Stock Market Movement Using Neutrosophic-Logic-Based Sentiment Analysis

“…Cristescu et al [24] investigated the potential of SA to enhance the accuracy of the prediction of the stock market price using regression models. VADER was employed for SA based on news articles, and three types of regression models were implemented: cubic, quadratic, and linear regressions.…”

Modelling Electricity Consumption During the COVID19 Pandemic: Datasets, Models, Results and a Research Agenda

“…These models learn from historical data on EC to predict future electricity loads. SVR is an efficient approach for regression problems, and is widely used in the domain of time series data, such as EC prediction [66] , stock market predictions [67] , [68] , electricity price forecasting [69] and classification [70] . The SVR model represents a promising and unique methodology for regression problems, and its basic principle can be formulated as follows.…”
