This study explores the application of Support Vector Machines (SVMs) equipped with a novel kernel, termed the “Polyvariant Kernel,” to predict the directional movement of stock prices—a critical challenge in financial forecasting. Inspired by the foundational Cobb-Douglas production function in economics, the Polyvariant Kernel is designed to capture complex relationships within financial data, aiming to enhance predictive accuracy significantly. Through a rigorous comparative analysis against traditional SVM kernels, we demonstrate the superior performance of the Polyvariant Kernel in stock price prediction tasks. Our findings underscore its ability to model the intricate dynamics of financial markets effectively, potentially offering advancements over existing methodologies. Furthermore, we evaluate the generalizability of the Polyvariant Kernel by testing it across various standard classification datasets, affirming its robustness beyond its original domain. This research contributes to expanding the toolkit of machine learning applications in economics, emphasizing both theoretical advancements and practical implications for financial market analysis.
