摘  要:Predicting up trends, down trends and sideways trends for stock returns is an important issue in the financial world. Regularized multinomial logit model can not only provide the underlying class probabilities, but also improve the classification accuracy by shrinking the regression coefficients and avoiding multi-collinearity and over-fitting. In this paper we propose regularized multinomial logit model to predict stock return movement directions. To improve predication accuracy, we introduce three regularization criterions, develop the group coordinate descent (GCD) algorithm to identify important group vectors, and show the convergence property of the GCD algorithm. Finally, we apply the Bayes classfier to identify up trends, down trends and sideways trends for stock returns, and propose the three-class receiver operating characteristic (ROC) methodology and a classifier performance index called the volume under surface (VUS) to assess prediction performances for stock return movement directions.
