FUSING SELL-SIDE ANALYST BIDIRECTIONAL FORECASTS USING MACHINE LEARNING
ABSTARCT :
Sell-side analysts’ recommendations are primarily targeted at institutional investors mandated to invest across many companies within client-mandated equity benchmarks, such as the FTSE/JSE All-Share index. Given the numerous sell-side recommendations for a single stock, making unbiased investment decisions is not often straightforward for portfolio managers. This study explores the use of historical sell-side recommendations to create an unbiased fusion of analyst forecasts such that bidirectional accuracy is optimised using random forest, extreme gradient boosting, deep neural networks, and logistic regression.
EXISTING SYSTEM :
? During the learning process, decision trees are added at each stage, and the existing trees in the ensemble are not replaced
? The contribution of the weak learner to the ensemble is based on the gradient descent optimisation process performed on each weak learner.
? The calculated contribution of each tree is then based on minimising the overall error of the composite learner
DISADVANTAGE :
? Our research focused on a binary classification problem, that is upward or downward classes.
? Let true positives (TP) refer to the number of positive classes correctly predicted by the classifier.
? Gradient boosting is an optimisation problem, where the goal is to locate the minimum or minimise the model’s loss function by adding weak learners using gradient descent.
PROPOSED SYSTEM :
? In recent years, many fairness metrics have been proposed to define what is fairness in machine learning.
? we conduct extensive experiments to validate the effectiveness of our proposed methods.
? The rest of this paper is organized as follows. The preliminaries is given in Section The first proposed method FSMC is given in Sect.
? Many fairness constraints have been proposed to enforce various fairness metrics, such as disparate impact and disparate mistreatment, and these fairness constraints can be used in our framework
ADVANTAGE :
? Machine learning algorithms, as useful decision-making tools, are widely used in the society
? In real-world machine learning tasks, a large amount of data used for training is necessary, and is often a combination of labeled and unlabeled data
? Unlabeled data is abundant in era of big data and, if it could be used as training data, we may be able to make a better compromise between fairness and accuracy
? This step can be solved by a convex problem and convex-concave programming when disparate impact and disparate mistreatment are used as fairness metrics respectively
