Apply decision tree and support vector regression to predict the gold price
P. Ongsritrakul, Nuanwan Soonthornphisaj · 2004
Recently, support vector regression (SVR) was proposed to resolve time series prediction and regression problems. In this paper, we demonstrate the use of SVR techniques for predicting the cost of gold by using factors that have an effect on gold to estimate its price. We apply a decision tree algorithm for the feature selection task and then perform the regression process using forecasted indexes. Our experimental results show that the combination of the decision tree and SVR leads to a better performance.
