Abstract

Online auctions allows users to sell and buy a variety of goods, and they are now one of the most important web services. Predicting final prices on online auctions is a hard task. However, there has been much pioneering work over the past ten years. In this paper, we propose a novel method for predicting final prices using a time series splitting and clustering method to provide higher accuracy. An evaluation of the effectiveness of our method is also described in the paper.
