Abstract

Abstract: The analysis and prediction of stock markets in Asian is an important issue which can help to promote the integration and globalization of financial cooperation. However, owning to the non-stationary and complexity of the stock market fluctuation, it is challenging to predict the stock price accurately. Especially after the decomposition of the original series, how to solve the problem of pseudo information and filter the exogenous variables is often certain challenging. This paper presents a hybrid model based on secondary decomposition (SD), multi-factor analysis (MFA) and attention-based long short-term memory (ALSTM) to predict the stock market price trends of four major Asian countries. The original stock price series is preprocessed by two decomposition algorithms so as to capture further non-linear feature and better filter the noise. Multi-factor analysis is introduced as a supplement to the original data information. In the prediction stage, attention layer is added in long short-term memory model to increase the weights of effective information. Finally, four datasets about Asian stock markets and nine compared models were used to verify the performance of the proposed model. The empirical analysis results show that compared to the general long short-term memory, our proposed model can obtain higher 30% accuracy at least. The mean average percentage errors of the system were also the lowest among all models mentioned in this paper (0.612%, 0.903%, 0.606% and 0.402% respectively), which proves the effectiveness of the hybrid model.
