Description
Predicting stock prices is perhaps one of the most tantalizing applications of mathematical statistics. Despite the Efficient Market Hypothesis’ (EMH) assertion that consistent predictions of stock price movements are impossible, it has done little in the way of deterring people’s efforts. One area of growing interest is the use of various Machine Learning (ML) techniques to forecast stock price direction. In that spirit, this study aims to refute the EMH through the implementation of a Support Vector Regression (SVR) model. Using optimized hyperparameters and k-fold cross validation to assess the model’s overall performance, the results suggest that our model does have a certain predictive power.
