Currency Exchange Rate Forecasting Using Markov Chain Monte Carlo Simulation
摘要
The paper explores the application of Monte Carlo Markov Chain (MCMC) simulation for currency exchange rate forecasting. It develops a Bayesian framework integrating historical data, macroeconomic variables, and market indicators. Through MCMC simulation, the model estimates posterior distributions, enabling the generation of probabilistic forecasts. The study evaluates the framework's performance through extensive back testing on various currency pairs, using metrics like mean absolute error and directional accuracy. Results indicate MCMC simulation's effectiveness in capturing exchange rate dynamics, demonstrating improved accuracy over traditional methods and emphasizing the value of incorporating external factors for enhanced predictive power.
