Enhancing financial time series forecasting through topological data analysis
This paper integrates topological data analysis features into N-BEATS, enhancing financial time series forecasting and outperforming traditional methods.
What it examines
The paper introduces a novel method for financial time series forecasting by incorporating features from topological data analysis (TDA) into the N-BEATS model. It uses persistent homology to extract metrics like entropy, amplitude, and feature counts from sliding window segments, aiming to improve predictive accuracy and capture complex market patterns.
What it concludes
The study shows that integrating TDA features with N-BEATS can significantly improve forecasting accuracy for financial time series. These findings suggest applications in automated trading, risk management, and market analysis. Future research could extend TDA integration to reinforcement learning, high-frequency trading, and other deep learning architectures.
