This paper presents a novel trend-based segmentation method (TBSM) and the support vector regression (SVR) for financial time series forecasting. The model is named as TBSM-SVR. Over the last decade, SVR has been a popular forecasting model for nonlinear time series problem. The general segmentation method, that is, the piecewise linear representation (PLR), has been applied to locate a set of trading points within a financial time series data. However, owing to the dynamics in stock trading, PLR cannot reflect the trend changes within a specific time period. Therefore, a trend based segmentation method is developed in this research to overcome this issue. The model is tested using various stocks from America stock market with different trend tendencies. The experimental results show that the proposed model can generate more profits than other models. The model is very practical for real-world application, and it can be implemented in a real-time environment.

Entities and institutional financiers have gained a lot of growth from financial time series forecasting in recent times. But the major challenges of financial time series data are the high noise and complexity of its nature. Researchers in recent times have successfully engaged the application of support vector regression (SVR) to conquer this challenge. In this study principal component analysis (PCA) is applied to extract the low dimensionality and efficient feature information, while wavelet is used to pre-process the extracted features in other to nu1llify the influence of the noise in the features with a KSVR based forecasting model. The analysis is carried out based on the quarterly tax revenue data of 39 years from the first quarter of 1981 to the last quarter of 2016. The forecasting is made for ten quarters ahead. The initial empirical result shows that the multicollinearity has been reduced to zero (0), and the analytic result reveals that the proposed model PCA-W-KSVR outperforms KSVR, PCA-KSVR, and W-KSVR in terms of MAE, MAPE, MSE and RMSE

Financial prediction is an important research field in financial data time series mining. There has always been a problem of clustering massive financial time series data. Conventional clustering algorithms are not practical for time series data because they are essentially designed for static data. This impracticality results in poor clustering accuracy in several financial forecasting models. In this paper, a new hybrid algorithm is proposed based on Optimization of Initial Points and Variable-Parameter Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (OVDBCSAN) and support vector regression (SVR). At the initial point of optimization, ε and MinPts, which are global parameters in DBSCAN, mainly deal with datasets of different densities. According to different densities, appropriate parameters are selected for clustering through optimization. This algorithm can find a large number of similar classes and then establish regression prediction models. It was tested extensively using real-world time series datasets from Ping An Bank, the Shanghai Stock Exchange, and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange to evaluate accuracy. The evaluation showed that our approach has major potential in clustering massive financial time series data, therefore improving the accuracy of the prediction of stock prices and financial indexes.

Insurance industry facilitates the users to access the information easily in their jobs without the repetition of password and remember the multiple passwords. Current technology attracts the insurers in authentication process. The identity authentification processes requires the customers to jump through the many hoops, which construct an unpleasant customer experience. The proposed method reduces the challenges in insurance business data using the classification algorithms using the support vector machine (SVM)for the mobile Applications since the growing trend in mobile apps will make it easy for the users. A seasonal variations and correlation in this financial time series data using statistical methods and ultimately generate trading signals for the insurance data. The feature extraction process increases the user security. The classification process improves different level of user identity. The support vector machine increases the data validation process quickly. Finally the proposed work enhances the user authentication process. The frame work is implemented using the matlabR2014 software and results were simulated for mobile apps.
