Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立政治大學 === 資訊管理研究所 === 103 === In this research, we build a stock price direction forecasting model with Taiwan Stock Index Future (TXF). The input data we used is 479 global indices. The classification algorithms we used are SVM and Decision Tree. This model can predict the up and down trend in the next k days. In the model building process, both cross validation and moving window are taking into account. As for the time period, both short term prediction (i.e. 1 day) and long term prediction (i.e. 100 days) are tested for comparison. The results showed that cross validation performs best with 93.4% in precision, and moving window reached 79.97% in precision when we use the last 60 days historical data to predict the up and down trend in the next 20 days. The results imply Taiwan stock market is significantly influenced by the global market in the long run. This finding could be further used by investors and also be studied with regression algorithms as a combination model to enhance its performance.
