Predicting the Markets with Basic Machine Learning
Machine learning is a more advanced technique known as statistical interpretation.
It has taken scientists hundreds of years to refine machine learning principles, which were developed in the 19th and early 20th centuries. In recent years, the availability of large datasets and cost-effective computation power has rekindled interest in machine learning methodologies. One needs extensive training in linear algebra and multivariate calculus, probability theory, Bayesian statistics, and frequentist statistics to fully understand machine learning strategies. This number would exceed the scope of a single book if all of these topics were covered in depth. A good thing about Python is that machine learning methods are relatively easy to understand and implement. As a result, we will explore the core concepts behind these approaches and demonstrate how they can be applied to algorithmic trading. We will use some basic concepts and notation throughout this article, so we should familiarize ourselves with them first.
Getting acquainted with terminology and symbolic notation will be the focus of this article. Using linear regression methods to estimate price changes. The use of linear classification approaches for forecasting to produce signals for buying and selling.
