Modeling of Machine Learning-Based Extreme Value Theory in Stock Investment Risk Prediction: A Systematic Literature Review.

Abstract

The stock market is heavily influenced by global sentiment, which is full of uncertainty and is characterized by extreme values and linear and nonlinear variables. High-frequency data generally refer to data that are collected at a very fast rate based on days, hours, minutes, and even seconds. Stock prices fluctuate rapidly and even at extremes along with changes in the variables that affect stock fluctuations. Research on investment risk estimation in the stock market that can identify extreme values is nonlinear, reliable in multivariate cases, and uses high-frequency data that are very important. The extreme value theory (EVT) approach can detect extreme values. This method is reliable in univariate cases and very complicated in multivariate cases. The purpose of this research was to collect, characterize, and analyze the investment risk estimation literature to identify research gaps. The literature used was selected by applying the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) and sourced from Sciencedirect.com and Scopus databases. A total of 1107 articles were produced from the search at the identification stage, reduced to 236 in the eligibility stage, and 90 articles in the included studies set. The bibliometric networks were visualized using the VOSviewer software, and the main keyword used as the search criteria is "VaR." The visualization showed that EVT, the Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (GARCH) models, and historical simulation are models often used to estimate the investment risk; the application of the machine learning (ML)-based investment risk estimation model is low. There has been no research using a combination of EVT and ML to estimate the investment risk. The results showed that the hybrid model produced better Value-at-Risk (VaR) accuracy under uncertainty and nonlinear conditions. Generally, models only use daily return data as model input. Based on research gaps, a hybrid model framework for estimating risk measures is proposed using a combination of EVT and ML, using multivariable and high-frequency data to identify extreme values in the distribution of data. The goal is to produce an accurate and flexible estimated risk value against extreme changes and shocks in the stock market. Mathematics Subject Classification: 60G25; 62M20; 6245; 62P05; 91G70.
