Forecasting US dollar exchange rate movement with computational models and human behavior

作者:

Highlights:

• Benefits are adding Behavioral Finance to the Machine Learning framework.

• We assume Calendar Effects induce deterministic patterns in financial time series.

• We used it to improve existing voting-based ensemble models with no retraining.

• Prediction: the Brazilian Real to the US Dollar daily exchange rate movement.

• The metric reached a value 24% higher than the original voting-based ensemble model.
