Abstract

In recent years, time series data analysis has been attracting much attention and can be applied to financial forecasting. As gold market can be used to manage investment risk, many methods that focus on time characteristics have been introduced to predicting the gold price. This study attempts to use auto regressive integrated moving average model (ARIMA), Decision tree model and Multi-Linear Regression model to predict the close price of gold AU99.99. The study uses root mean square error (RMSE) and R-sq to evaluate the practicability of the model. The results indicate that ARIMA (2,1,2) is not suitable to predict the price of AU99.99. Moreover, the Muti-Linear Regression model is the most suitable model for forecasting next day’s close price. The effective model of this study is important to investors to understand and forecast the trend of gold market in time which raises the yield on the trade.
