Objective
This study aims to evaluate the efficiency of the Iranian capital market and examine the capability of hybrid machine learning models in predicting the direction of the Tehran Exchange Dividend and Price Index (TEDPIX). Additionally, the study seeks to assess the importance of influential factors affecting predictability and explainability within machine learning models.
Methods
To analyze market efficiency at weak and semi-strong levels, data concerning the Tehran Exchange Divedend and Price Index from five years (2019 to 2023) is utilized. The proposed combined model includes an Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) model that is enhanced through hyperparameter optimization via a Genetic Algorithm (GA). The performance of this combined model is statistically compared against other machine learning algorithms, including XGBoost, Random Forest, Support Vector Machine, and Logistic Regression. Furthermore, to enhance the model's explainability and analyze the importance of input variables in predicting the index direction, the SHAP (Shapley Additive Explanations) method is employed.
Results
The results indicate that the XGBoost-GA model outperforms other comparative models statistically, achieving an accuracy of 84% in predicting the direction of the Tehran Exchange Divedend and Price Index. A comparison of the results across different levels of market efficiency indicates that, at the semi-strong level, incorporating fundamental variables into the predictive model enhances forecasting accuracy. This finding reflects the influence of fundamental information on predicting the direction of the index and, consequently, suggests the presence of market inefficiency at this level. Additionally, at the weak-form level, the machine learning model based on technical data outperformed the random model, indicating the existence of market inefficiency at this level as well. Moreover, the model's explainability analysis, using SHAP, showed that the impact of variables on predicting the index direction varies based on the type of input data. In the purely technical model, factors related to price behavior and short-term fluctuations, such as the Relative Strength Index (RSI), trading volume, and moving average divergence and convergence, played a key role. In contrast, in the combined model that includes both fundamental and technical data, besides technical variables, factors such as real and legal liquidity influx, gold prices, and company financial indicators such as Return on Assets (RoA) and Return on Equity (RoE) significantly influenced predictions.
Conclusion
The results of the study demonstrate that the Iranian capital market is inefficient at both weak and semi-strong levels, and the predictability of the Index is achievable using both technical and fundamental data. The analysis of input variable significance indicates that certain technical, fundamental, and macroeconomic indices play a more crucial role in predicting market behavior, which can contribute to more informed investment decisions and a better understanding of machine learning models' behavior in forecasting financial time series.
