Improving Stock Price Prediction Using Combining Forecasts Methods
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study presents an outcome of pursuing better and effective forecasting methods. The study primarily focused on the effective use of divide-and-conquer strategy with Empirical Mode Decomposition or briefly EMD algorithm. We used two different statistical methods to forecast. One is for the high-frequency EMD components and another for low-frequency EMD components. With two statistical forecasting methods, ARIMA (Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average) and EWMA (Exponentially Weighted Moving Average), we investigated two possible and potential hybrid methods: EMD-ARIMA-EWMA, EMD-EWMA-ARIMA based on high and low-frequency components. We experimented with these methods and compared their empirical results with four other forecasting methods using five stock market daily closing prices from the S&P/TSX 60 Index of Toronto Stock Exchange. This study found better forecasting accuracy from EMD-ARIMA-EWMA than ARIMA, EWMA base methods and EMD-ARIMA as well as EMD-EWMA hybrid methods. Therefore, we believe frequency-based effective method selection in EMD-based hybridization deserves more research investigation for better forecasting accuracy.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
