Thesis Abstract

Abstract
This thesis investigates the applications of machine learning in predicting stock market trends. Stock market prediction has been a challenging task due to its high volatility and complexity. Traditional methods of predicting stock prices have shown limitations in accurately capturing the dynamic nature of the market. Machine learning algorithms, with their ability to analyze large datasets and identify complex patterns, have shown promising results in predicting stock market trends. The study begins with an introduction to the research topic, providing background information on the challenges of stock market prediction and the potential benefits of using machine learning algorithms. The problem statement highlights the limitations of traditional methods and the need for more accurate and reliable prediction models. The objectives of the study are outlined to guide the research process towards developing effective machine learning models for stock market prediction. The methodology chapter presents a detailed overview of the research design, data collection methods, and the machine learning algorithms used in the study. Various machine learning techniques such as regression analysis, decision trees, and neural networks are explored for their effectiveness in predicting stock market trends. The research methodology also includes the evaluation metrics used to assess the performance of the machine learning models. The findings chapter provides an in-depth analysis of the results obtained from applying machine learning algorithms to predict stock market trends. The discussion covers the accuracy, reliability, and efficiency of the models in forecasting stock prices. The findings highlight the strengths and limitations of the different machine learning techniques used and their implications for stock market prediction. In conclusion, the study summarizes the key findings and implications of using machine learning in predicting stock market trends. The significance of the research is discussed in terms of its contribution to the field of finance and investment. The thesis concludes with recommendations for future research directions and the potential applications of machine learning in improving stock market prediction accuracy. Overall, this thesis contributes to the growing body of research on applying machine learning techniques to predict stock market trends. The findings offer valuable insights into the potential benefits of using advanced data analytics in financial forecasting and highlight the importance of developing accurate and reliable prediction models for successful investment strategies in the stock market.
