Innovative Approach to Forecasting Jordanian Commercial Bank Stock Market Using a Hybrid Genetic Algorithm-Fintech Model
摘要
This study aims to enhance the prediction accuracy of the daily ASE’s weighted price index of the banking sector (SCB) through the application of a nonlinear spectral model known as maximum overlapping discrete wavelet transform (MODWT). The model incorporates five mathematical functions: Haar, Daubechies (Db4), least square (LA8), best localization (BL14), and Coiflet (C6). Employing a genetic fuzzy system based on Thrift’s methodology (GFS.Thrift), the study leverages a dataset provided by the Amman Stock Exchange (ASE) consisting of 4,423 observations spanning from January 2, 2006, to January 7, 2024. The adaptive GFS.THRIFT model undergoes training with 90% of the dataset, while the remaining 10% is reserved for testing its predictive capabilities. The selection of input variables, including standardized gross domestic product (SGDP) and inflation (SI), is conducted through multiple regressions and multicollinearity tests. Findings from the study reveal a negative relationship between SGDP and SCB, while a positive association is observed between SI and SCB. Notably, the proposed model (GFS. Thrift + C6) demonstrates superior performance compared to other existing models, including the original GFS.Thrift model.
