Comparing ANN, NARMAX, TLM
Comparing ANN, NARMAX, TLM
Research Objective
The objective proposed in this research proposal is to statistically
compare different methods able to construct expected stock return
estimates. To determine which model performs best in capturing
expected stock returns, it is proposed to conduct a comparative
statistical analysis.
Research Questions
Which models are best in capturing expected stock returns?
Can more sophisticated statistical models, such as the neural network
forecasting models, capture expected stock returns better than the
equilibrium models?
Linear Models
The
accuracy of forecasting of an autoregressive AR (p) model can be improved with the addition of
a moving-average MA (q) component (Watts and Leftwich 1977; Brown and Rozeff 1979; Griffin
1977).
The above models represent the ANN versions of the ARIMA, dynamic CAPM and dynamic FF-three
factor model.
NARMAX ()
The
nonlinear autoregressive moving average model with exogenous inputs is defined as
Where;
y, e and x are output, noise and external input of the system model respectively, , and are the
maximum lags in the output, noise and input respectively, and F is an unknown smooth function.
Several special cases of the general NARMAX ( ) model are frequently seen, which are represented as;
NAR () Model
NARMA (, ) Model
NARX (, ) Model
Forecast Accuracy
For
accessing the accuracy of forecast, the following measures will be used. (Calen et
al. (1996);
Zhang et al. (2004).
