Predictive intelligence using ANFIS-induced OWAWA for complex stock market prediction

Abstract

Traditional time series prediction methods are unable to handle the complex nonlinear relationship of a large data set. Most of the existing techniques are unable to manage multiple dimensions of a data set, due to which the computational complexity escalates with the increasing size of a data set. Many machine learning (ML) methods are unable to handle known unknown predictions. This paper presents a new forecasting method in the neural network structure based on the induced ordered weighted average (IOWA) weighted average (WA) and fuzzy time series. The proposed model is more efficient than existing complexity handling fuzzy time series prediction methods and other traditional time series prediction methods. The proposed model can accommodate the IOWA operator, weighted average, and relevance degree of each concept in a particular problem for a fuzzy nonlinear prediction. The contribution of this paper is twofold. First, it contributes to theory by proposing a new IOWAWA layer in the neural network to handle complex nonlinear prediction for a large data set. The second contribution is the application of the approach to predict nonlinear stock market data. The robustness of the approach is tested using Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) stock data by considering a case study of the housing and property sector. We further compare the prediction accuracy of the approach with sixteen existing methods. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model outperforms existing methods.
