STOCK MARKET PREDICTION: USING ECONOMETRIC MODELS AND NEURAL NETWORKS
Stock market trading involves buying and selling of shares or stocks, which represents ownership of business. This research paper will focus on capturing the algorithmic trading based on historical data and compare present day algorithms to nd the best t model to understand the underlying patterns in stock market trading. A comparative analysis of closing stock price for 12 companies from three different sectors has been considered to understand the efcacy of the models in order to predict the future stock prices with minimal errors. Stock market was earlier predicted using traditional econometric models like the ARIMA and SARIMA, however, in this paper, Machine Learning, a part of Articial Intelligence will be incorporated in the stock data collected from Yahoo Finance to train models and provide predictions/decisions without being explicitly programmed to do so. Models such as OLS, SARIMA, Convolutional Neural Networks and Recursive Neural Networks (LSTM) will also be used to analyze the historical stock data and will be compared for accuracy using testing parameters like Mean Squared Error (MSE).
