Overview

Time-series analysis and forecasting for major tech stocks (Apple, Microsoft, Amazon) using deep learning and traditional machine learning approaches.

Approach

Data:

  • Historical stock data for top tech companies
  • Feature engineering for time-series characteristics

Models:

  • LSTM networks for sequence prediction
  • Comparison with traditional ML regression models
  • Qualitative analysis of prediction quality

Evaluation:

  • Regression metrics (MAE, RMSE)
  • Visual comparison of predicted vs actual prices
  • Analysis of model behavior during volatile periods

Key Learnings

  • Time-series forecasting requires careful feature engineering
  • LSTM networks capture temporal dependencies effectively
  • Financial data presents unique challenges (non-stationarity, regime changes)
