Prices
- Authors: Daniel Nickelsen, Gernot M\"uller
- Abstract summary: We present a first study of Bayesian forecasting of electricity prices traded on the German continuous intraday market.
For validation we use the exceedingly volatile electricity prices of 2022, which have hardly been the subject of forecasting studies before.
We challenge the declared gold standard of using LASSO for feature selection in electricity price forecasting by presenting strong statistical evidence that Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP) leads to better forecasting performance.

- Abstract: We present a first study of Bayesian forecasting of electricity prices traded
on the German continuous intraday market which fully incorporates parameter
uncertainty. Our target variable is the IDFull price index, forecasts are given
in terms of posterior predictive distributions. For validation we use the
exceedingly volatile electricity prices of 2022, which have hardly been the
subject of forecasting studies before. As a benchmark model, we use all
available intraday transactions at the time of forecast creation to compute a
current value for the IDFull. According to the weak-form efficiency hypothesis,
it would not be possible to significantly improve this benchmark built from
last price information. We do, however, observe statistically significant
improvement in terms of both point measures and probability scores. Finally, we
challenge the declared gold standard of using LASSO for feature selection in
electricity price forecasting by presenting strong statistical evidence that
Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP) leads to better forecasting performance.

We study whether using CRPS learning, a novel weighting technique, leads to optimal decisions in day-ahead bidding.
We find that increasing the diversity of an ensemble can have a positive impact on accuracy.
The higher computational cost of using CRPS learning compared to an equal-weighted aggregation of distributions is not offset by higher profits.

Multi-step stock price prediction over a long-term horizon is crucial for forecasting its volatility.
Current solutions to multi-step stock price prediction are mostly designed for single-step, classification-based predictions.
We combine a deep hierarchical variational-autoencoder (VAE) and diffusion probabilistic techniques to do seq2seq stock prediction.
Our model is shown to outperform state-of-the-art solutions in terms of its prediction accuracy and variance.
