Abstract

Contemporarily, the combination of artificial intelligence and financial theory is a hot topic. In this paper, the multifactorial machine learning models for stock price prediction are implemented and compared after screening the effective factors. Specifically, four different linear models (OLS regression, Lasso regression, Ridge regression, Elastic Network regression) and nonlinear model XGBoost are applied. Based on the analysis, nonlinear model has better performance than different linear models, and the expected return rate constructed by this method has a higher correlation with the real rate of return. In terms of factor selection, this paper refers to the classification and construction of factors in relevant literature, including basic information factor, volume price factor, valuation factor, financial statement factor. In terms of data selection, the daily data from October 2018 to October 2021 among the four indexes with different industries, scales and market sentiment are selected to prevent extreme situations when using a single index. These results shed light on some extent that machine learning combined with quantitative investment has certain application value.
