Günlük Bitcoin Değerini Tahmin Etmek İçin İstatistiksel ve Makine Öğrenimi Algoritmalarının Karşılaştırılması

Abstract

Increasing fluctuations in pricing and having great profit potential, utilization in advanced machine learning technologies to make robust predictions of cryptocurrencies especially bitcoin have attracted great attention in recent years. In this study, various statistical techniques; Moving Average Analysis and Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average and machine learning (ML) techniques; Artificial Neural Network, Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) and Convolutional Neural Network have been conducted and compared to predict the future value of Bitcoin cryptocurrency price. They have been applied for the univariate time series analysis with a window size of 32. To prove the usefulness of ML algorithms, and to show that the results of RNN is a better, mean squared error (MSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) indicators have been applied. The study revealed that recurrent neural network yields better results than other methods in predicting daily Bitcoin price in terms of MSE, MAE and MAPE metrics. Besides, Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney nonparametric statistic test is applied to test the performance between ARIMA and machine learning algorithms.
