Abstract
Forecasting oil and gold prices from a word market prices reference is a challenging
research task. By accurately forecasting the price of gold, it is especially useful for investors.
Time series techniques play a role in predicting future time series data. Therefore, this research
aims to compare performance of time series techniques for predicting gold and crude oil prices.
The data were collected from 2 January 2003 to 30 December 2016. In this research,
six techniques including Linear Regression (LR), Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP), Radial
Basis Function (RBF), Reduced Error Pruning Tree (REPT), Support Vector Machine
Regression (SVMR) and Sequential Minimal Optimization Regression (SMOR) were used.
Sliding Windows was used to divide data into learning and testing sets. 13 rounds of sliding
windows were used to reduce the variance of experiment results. Moreover, Mean Absolute
Error (MAE) and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) were used to evaluate the performance
of the model. This study found that the SMOR technique is eff ective in forecasting gold
and oil prices with the lowest MAE values at 14.21±5.35 and 1.65±0.75.
