Trend Prediction of Exchange Rate with Regularization Networks on Dimension-Adaptive Sparse Grids

Description

The prediction of trends from historical market data is an important tool for decision making in short and long-term investions. The classical time series analysis cannot reproduce the complex, nonlinear behaviour especially of coupled time series. Nonlinear approximation methods such as neural networks and data mining algorithms cannot be used for efficiency reasons due to the extremely large number of data points and the high dimension of the attribute space.

Therefore, we want to use for trend prediction an approach which is based on regularization networks and which uses sparse grids. This approach scales linearly with the number of data points and allows a nonlinear data analysis. Furthermore, the uniqueness of the attribute function is not required. In addition, dimension-adaptive refinement allows an automated dimension reduction of the problem and, this way, a fast computation.
