Thesis Abstract

Abstract
The stock market is a complex and dynamic system that is influenced by various factors, making it challenging to predict trends accurately. In recent years, the use of machine learning algorithms has gained popularity in the field of stock market analysis due to their ability to analyze large datasets and extract meaningful patterns. This thesis focuses on the development and implementation of predictive modeling techniques using machine learning algorithms to forecast stock market trends. Chapter 1 provides an introduction to the research topic, including the background of the study, problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, structure of the thesis, and definition of terms. The chapter sets the stage for the research by outlining the importance of predicting stock market trends and the role of machine learning algorithms in this context. Chapter 2 presents a comprehensive literature review that covers ten key aspects related to predictive modeling of stock market trends using machine learning algorithms. The review discusses previous studies, methodologies, and findings in the field, highlighting the current state of research and identifying gaps that the present study aims to address. Chapter 3 details the research methodology employed in this study, including data collection, preprocessing, feature selection, model selection, training, and evaluation. The chapter also discusses the metrics used to assess the performance of the predictive models and justifies the choice of machine learning algorithms for the study. In Chapter 4, the findings of the research are presented and discussed in detail. The chapter explores the effectiveness of different machine learning algorithms in predicting stock market trends, analyzes the results obtained from the models, and discusses the implications of the findings for future research and practical applications in the financial industry. Chapter 5 concludes the thesis by summarizing the key findings, discussing the implications of the research, and suggesting recommendations for further studies in the field. The chapter also reflects on the limitations of the study and proposes potential avenues for future research to enhance the accuracy and reliability of predictive modeling techniques in forecasting stock market trends using machine learning algorithms. In conclusion, this thesis contributes to the growing body of knowledge on predictive modeling of stock market trends using machine learning algorithms. By leveraging the power of machine learning techniques, this research aims to provide valuable insights for investors, financial analysts, and policymakers seeking to make informed decisions in the dynamic and volatile stock market environment.
