A MULTISCALE MODELING APPROACH INCORPORATING ARIMA AND ANNS FOR FINANCIAL MARKET VOLATILITY FORECASTING

The financial market volatility forecasting is regarded as a challenging task because of irreg ularity, high fluctuation, and noise. In this study, a multiscale ensemble forecasting model is proposed. The original financial series are decomposed firstly different scale components （i.e., approximation and details） using the maximum overlap discrete wavelet transform （MODWT）. The approximation is pre- dicted by a hybrid forecasting model that combines autoregressive integrated moving average （ARIMA） with feedforward neural network （FNN）. ARIMA model is used to generate a linear forecast, and then FNN is developed as a tool for nonlinear pattern recognition to correct the estimation error in ARIMA forecast. Moreover, details are predicted by Elman neural networks. Three weekly exchange rates data are collected to establish and validate the forecasting model. Empirical results demonstrate consistent better performance of the proposed approach.
