3. 1. Introduction
• Stock exchange :
is an emerging business sector has become more popular among the people.
many people, organizations are related to this business.
gaining insight about the market trend has become an important factor
• Stock trend or price prediction is regarding as challenging task because
Essentially a non-liner, non parametric
Noisy
Deterministically chaotic system
• Why deterministically chaotic system?
Liquid money and Stock adequacy
Human behavior and News related to the stock market
Share Gambling
Money exchange rate, etc.

2.1 Support Vector regression (SVR)
• Support vector machine (SVM), a novel artificial intelligence-based method
developed from statistical learning theory
• SVM has two major futures: classification (SVC) & regression (SVR).
• In SVM regression, the input is first mapped onto a m-dimensional feature space
using some fixed (nonlinear) mapping, and then a linear model is constructed in this
feature space.
• a margin of tolerance (epsilon) is set in approximation.
• This type of function is often called – epsilon intensive – loss function.
• Usage of slack variables to overcome noise in the data and non - separability

Support vector regression (SVR)
model with parameters w and b can be
expressed as
f(x) = w.z (x) + b
•
where y is the model output and input
x is mapped into a feature space by a
nonlinear function (x).

2.2 Windowing operator
•
•
•
•
The problem of forecasting the class attribute x, N steps ahead of time, as learning a
target function which uses a fixed number of M past values.
x(t+N) = f([x(t-0), x(t-1), …, x(t-M)]) ……………(1)
This equation can be written as:
x-0 = f([x-0, x-1, ..., x-M] – [x-0, x-1, …, x-N])
or as:
x-0= f([x-0, x-N, ..., x-M]) …………………(2)
or in the multivariate case as:
x-0 = f([x-0, y-0, x-1, y-1 ..., x-M, y-M] – [x-0, x-1, y-1, …, x-N, y-N]) …. (3)
Since Windowed Examples are of the form: [x-0, x-N, y-N, ..., x-M, y-M], we have
to remove all horizon attributes: [x-1, y-1, …, x-N, y-N].
The result is a dataset with Windowed Examples which can be fed to any machine
learning algorithm.

14. 4. Experiment Design
4.1 Data collection
Experiment dataset had been collected from Dhaka stock exchange (DSE),
Bangladesh.
4 year’s (January 2009-June 2012)historical data were collected.
Almost 522 company are listed in DSE. But for the convenient of the experiment
we only select one well known company data.
Dataset had 6 attributes. Date, open price, high price, low price, close price,
volumes.
5 attributes were used in experiment except volumes.
Total 822 days data. 700 data were used as training dataset, and 122 data were used
as testing dataset.

4.2 Model Work Flow
Training phase
• Step 1: Read the training dataset from local repository.
• Step 2: Apply windowing operator to transform the time
series data into a generic dataset. This step will convert
the last row of a window within the time series into a
label or target variable. Last variable is treated as label.
• Step 3: Accomplish a cross validation process of the
produced label from windowing operator in order to feed
them as inputs into SVR model.
• Step 4: Select kernel types and select special parameters
of SVR (C, ε , g etc).
• Step 5: Run the model and observe the performance
(accuracy).
• Step 6: If performance accuracy is good than go to step 6,
otherwise go to step 4.
• Step 7: Exit from the training phase & apply trained
model to the testing dataset.
Testing phase
• Step 1: Read the testing dataset from local repository.
• Step 2: Apply the training model to test the out of sample
dataset for price prediction.
• Step 3: Produce the predicted trends and stock price

23. 6. Conclusion
6.1 Discussions :
Different windowing function can produce different prediction results.
We used 3 types of windowing operators. Normal rectangular window, Flatten
window, De-flatten window.
Rectangular and flatten windows are able to produce good prediction result for time
series data.
De-flatten window can not produce good prediction results.
6.2 Limitations & Future works:
Here we only use 3 types of windowing operators.
Only one stock exchange data set were used to undertake the experiments.
Do not compare with other machine learning techniques.
In future, we will apply our model to other stock market data set and will also
compare our research result with other types of data mining techniques.
