Crude oil price becomes more volatile and sensitive to increasingly diversified influencing factors with higher level of deregulations worldwide. Current methodologies are being challenged as they have been constrained by traditional approaches assuming homogeneous time horizons and investment strategies. Approximations they provided over the long term time horizon no longer satisfy the accuracy requirement at shorter term and more microlevels. This paper proposes a novel crude oil price forecasting model based on the wavelet denoising ARMA models ensemble by least square support vector regression with the reduced forecasting matrix dimensions by independent component analysis. The proposed methodology combines the multi resolution analysis and nonlinear ensemble framework. The wavelet denoising based algorithm is introduced to separate and extract the underlying data components with distinct features, corresponding to investors with different investment scales, which are modeled with time series models of different specifications and parameters. Then least square support vector regression is introduced to nonlinearly ensemble results based on different wavelet families to further reduce the estimation biases and improve the forecasting generalizability. Empirical studies show the significant performance improvement when the proposed model is tested against the bench-mark models.

A new accurate method on predicting crude oil price is presented, which is based onε-support vector regression (ε-SVR) machine with dynamic correction factor correcting forecasting errors. We also propose the hybrid RNA genetic algorithm (HRGA) with the position displacement idea of bare bones particle swarm optimization (PSO) changing the mutation operator. The validity of the algorithm is tested by using three benchmark functions. From the comparison of the results obtained by using HRGA and standard RNA genetic algorithm (RGA), respectively, the accuracy of HRGA is much better than that of RGA. In the end, to make the forecasting result more accurate, the HRGA is applied to the optimize parameters ofε-SVR. The predicting result is very good. The method proposed in this paper can be easily used to predict crude oil price in our life.

The need to accurately predict and make right decisions regarding crude oil price motivates the proposition of an alternative algorithmic method based on real-valued negative selection with variable-sized detectors (V-Detectors), by incorporating with fuzzy-rough set feature selection (FRFS) for predicting the most appropriate choices. The objective of this study is enhancing the performance of V-Detectors using FRFS for prices of crude oil. Applying FRFS serves to prune the number of features by retaining the most informative and critical features. The V-Detectors then trains and tests the features. Different radius values are applied for V-Detectors. Experimental outcome in comparison with established algorithms such as support vector machine, naïve bayes, multi-layer perceptron, J48, non-nested generalized exemplars, IBk, fuzzy-roughNN, and vaguely quantified nearest neighbor demonstrates that FRFS-V-Detectors is proficient and valuable for insightful knowledge on crude oil price. Thus, it can assist in establishing oil price market policies on the international scale.
