Fuzzy financial time series forecasting models: Problem and Challenge
Abstract
This talk introduces financial time series forecasting,and discusses fuzzy time series forecasting model and its detailed procedure. Experimental results on our two models (FTSGA and FTSACOAR) are reported. Actual trading data of Taiwan Capitalization Weighted Stock Index is used as benchmark data. Computational results show that our models are efficient, in particular, FTSACOAR outperforms other existing models. Problem and challenge are outlined.
