XGBoost model deciphers stock market predictability with behavioral signals

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed an interpretable machine learning pipeline to analyze stock return predictability in large-scale financial markets, specifically focusing on China's A-share market. Using an XGBoost model with TreeSHAP attribution on data from 3,632 stocks between 2009 and 2019, the model achieved a mean AUC of 0.547 and a significant monthly long-short spread of +2.38%. The interpretation analysis revealed that behavioral signals, such as turnover and momentum, accounted for the majority (58.2%) of the predictive attribution, significantly outweighing valuation ratios (10.7%). AI

IMPACT Provides a new method for interpreting ML models in finance, potentially improving algorithmic trading strategies.
