Abstract

It is hard to forecasting oil future prices accurately, which is affected by some nonlinear, nonstationary, and other chaotic characteristics. Then, a novel GA-SVR-GRNN hybrid deep learning algorithm is put forward for forecasting oil future price. First, a genetic algorithm (GA) is employed for optimizing parameters regarding the support vector regression machine (SVR), and the GA-SVR model is used to forecast oil future price. Further, a generalized regression neural network (GRNN) model is built for the residual series for forecasting. Finally, we obtain the predicted values of the oil future price series forecasted by the GA-SVR-GRNN hybrid deep learning algorithm. According to the simulation, the GA-SVR-GRNN hybrid deep learning algorithm achieves lower MSE, RMSE, MAE, and MAPE relative to the GRNN, GA-SVR, and PSO-SVR models, indicating that the proposed GA-SVR-GRNN hybrid deep learning algorithm can fully reveal the prediction advantages of the GA-SVR and GRNN models in the nonlinear space and is a more accurate and effective method for oil future price forecasting.
