Application of Machine Learning in Forecasting Stock Prices

Project Abstract

Stock price forecasting is a crucial aspect of financial analysis and decision-making in the stock market. Traditional methods of forecasting, such as technical analysis and fundamental analysis, have limitations in capturing the complex patterns and dynamics of stock prices. In recent years, machine learning techniques have emerged as powerful tools for improving the accuracy and efficiency of stock price forecasting. This research project aims to explore the application of machine learning in forecasting stock prices and evaluate its effectiveness in predicting future stock price movements.
