A hybridized ELM-Jaya forecasting model for currency exchange prediction

Abstract This paper establishes a hybridized intelligent machine learning based currency exchange forecasting model using Extreme Learning Machines (ELMs) and the Jaya optimization technique. This model can very well forecast the exchange price of USD (US Dollar) to INR (Indian Rupee) and USD to EURO based on statistical measures, technical indicators and combination of both measures over a time frame varying from 1 day to 1 month ahead. The proposed ELM-Jaya model has been compared with existing optimized Neural Network and Functional Link Artificial Neural Network based predictive models. Finally, the model has been validated using various performance measures such as; MAPE, Theil's U, ARV and MAE. The comparison of different features demonstrates that the technical indicators outperform both the statistical measures and a combination of statistical measures and technical indicators in ELM-Jaya forecasting model.
