Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel method using wavelet transform to denoise the input of least squares support vector machine for classification of closing price of stocks. The proposed method classifies closing price as either down or up. We have tested the proposed approach using passed three-year data of 10 stocks randomly selected from sample stock of hs300 index and compared the proposed method with other machine learning methods. Good classification percentage of almost 99% was achieved by WT-SVM model. We observed that the performance of stock price prediction can be significantly enhanced by using hybrized WT in comparison with a single model.
