Synopsis

This book looks at how research into predicting the financial markets has progressed in recent years. The first section of the book describes the financial markets and asks whether they are indeed predictable, given the number of possible economic and financial variables. The second section surveys existing prediction models and looks at how these can be refined so as to provide the best prediction of the market's value at the next time step i.e. in one month's time. The third and forth sections look at the theory of specific prediction models and their applications, whilst the final section discusses possible future developments i.e. so that prediction models can be made more immune to sudden global changes.

Synopsis

This volume looks at financial prediction from a broad range of perspectives. It covers: the economic arguments - the practicalities of the markets - how predictions are used - how predictions are made - how predictions are turned into something usable (asset locations). It combines a discussion of standard theory with state-of-the-art material on a wide range of information processing techniques as applied to cutting-edge financial problems. All the techniques are demonstrated with real examples using actual market data, and show that it is possible to extract information from very noisy, sparse data sets. Aimed primarily at researchers in financial prediction, time series analysis and information processing, this book will also be of interest to quantitative fund managers and other professionals involved in financial prediction.
