Abstract

This article covers the implementation of fractional (non-integer order) differentiation on four datasets based on stock prices of main international stock indexes: WIG 20, S&P 500, DAX, Nikkei 225. This concept has been proposed by Lopez de Prado to find the most appropriate balance between zero differentiation and fully differentiated time series. The aim is making time series stationary while keeping its memory and predictive power. This paper makes also the comparison between fractional and classical differentiation in terms of the effectiveness of artificial neural networks. This comparison is done in two viewpoints: Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Mean Absolute Error (MAE). The conclusion of the study is that fractionally differentiated time series performed better in trained ANN.
