Forecasting stock index returns using ARIMA-SVM, ARIMA-ANN, and ARIMA-random forest hybrid models

Résumé

The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of hybrid forecasting models that integrate the classical Autoregressive integrated moving average framework, the support vector machines, the artificial neural networks, and random forest for predicting S&P 500 index returns. Utilizing daily share price data from 2015 to 2023, the methodology used a two-stage decomposition process where ARIMA captured linear dependencies, while the ML models projected nonlinear patterns within the residuals. The Out-of-sample analysis revealed that all the hybrid models significantly outperformed their standalone ARIMA benchmark across key accuracy metrics, such as mean absolute error, root mean squared error, and directional accuracy. The ARIMA-RF hybrid achieved the highest predictive accuracy and statistical significance, though it entailed a greater computational cost. The findings confirmed that the hybrid forecasting capabilities to mitigate linear autocorrelation and ARCH effects, offering a robust approach for financial time series forecasting.
