Time series modeling and forecasting based on a Markov chain with changing transition matrices

作者:

Highlights:

• Markov models can be an effective way of prediction in time series.

• The discretization of the state space is of importance for the quality of prediction.

• Time windows grouped in sequences were used to obtain good transition matrices.

• Good results of profit according to the Calmar criterion were obtained.

• In order to optimize the current parameters of the method, machine learning was used.
