Comparative Analysis of LSTM and ARIMA Models for Stock Price Forecasting
摘要
In this paper, we use Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) models to model and forecast daily ending stock values and contrast this with a traditional method employing actual patterns of the data structure to create and train an Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model. We gather every day’s market data—primarily Open, High, Low, And Close (OHLC) values—for companies that are listed on the FTSE and NASDAQ stock exchanges for a period of three years. Forecasts of the next day closing value are produced by both models for comparative purposes. Model performance is compared by averaging their individual Mean Squared Error (MSE) and Mean Absolute Error (MAE) scores to enable relative analysis. The results indicate that the LSTM model provides lower error rates compared to the ARIMA model, which suggests a more accurate result in forecasting stock values.
