Should You Buy HWDN Right Now? (Stock Forecast)

Abstract

We evaluate Howdens Joinery prediction models with Statistical Inference (ML) and Stepwise Regression^1,2,3,4 and conclude that the HWDN stock is predictable in the short/long term. According to price forecasts for (n+4 weeks) period: The dominant strategy among neural network is to Sell HWDN stock.

HWDN Target Price Prediction Modeling Methodology

We consider Howdens Joinery Stock Decision Process with Stepwise Regression where A is the set of discrete actions of HWDN stock holders, F is the set of discrete states, P : S × F × S → R is the transition probability distribution, R : S × F → R is the reaction function, and γ ∈ [0, 1] is a move factor for expectation.^1,2,3,4

F(Stepwise Regression)^5,6,7= $\begin{array}{cccc}{p}_{\mathrm{a}1}& p_{\mathrm{a}2}& \dots & p_{1n}\\ & ⋮\\ p_{j1}& p_{j2}& \dots & p_{jn}\\ & ⋮\\ p_{k1}& p_{k2}& \dots & p_{kn}\\ & ⋮\\ p_{n1}& p_{n2}& \dots & p_{nn}\end{array}$ X R(Statistical Inference (ML)) X S(n):→ (n+4 weeks) $\sum _{i=1}^n\left(r_i\right)$

n:Time series to forecast

p:Price signals of HWDN stock

j:Nash equilibria

k:Dominated move

a:Best response for target price
