Abstract

Two crucial problems of overshoot and volatility clustering are encountered in time series prediction frequently, which may give rise to big residual errors and then deteriorate the predictive accuracy. Thus this study introduces a novel scheme to overcome the preceding problems at the same time. First, adaptive support vector regression (ASVR) with fewer data is applied to tackling the overshoot results and its achievement outperforms the traditional prediction methods like ARMAX or grey model. Next, the effect of volatility clustering can be resolved by incorporating nonlinear generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (NGARCH) into ASVR to form a hybrid model. Finally, in order to avoid the over-fit or under-fit modeling resulted from quadratic optimization or back-propagation neural network, instead a quantum-based algorithm called quantum minimization (QM) is proposed herein to tune the hybrid model of ASVR and NGARCH to overcome the problems of overshoot and volatility clustering simultaneously due to quantum parallelism finding the optimum in depth. In summary, the proposed method obtains the satisfactory results because of best-fitting the dynamics of time series and thus significantly improving the predictive accuracy.
