Abstract

This paper predicts good price based on RBF neural network employing hybrid fuzzy clustering algorithm. PCA technique has been used to integrate the 6 parameter dependent sub-variables of each TI (Technical Indicators, include MA, ROC, BIAS, D, K), which has been originated from the gold price before, and the results act as input. By employing a new hybrid fuzzy clustering algorithm, which is proposed by Antonios and George [10], K-Mean clustering algorithm and RBE algorithm, the predictions of price are yielded for each interval-n model. n refers to the number of predictions achieved by 1 operation. The most important conclusion indicates that the hybrid fuzzy clustering algorithm is superior to the general RBF central vector selecting algorithm mentioned above, in the aspects of MSE, P-Accuracy Rate and ROC.
