• Abstract: We address the need for forecasting methodologies that handle large uncertainties in electricity prices for continuous intraday markets by incorporating parameter uncertainty and using a broad set of covariables. This study presents the first Bayesian forecasting of electricity prices traded on the German intraday market. Endogenous and exogenous covariables are handled via Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP) and regularising priors. The target variable is the IDFull price index, with forecasts given as posterior predictive distributions. Validation uses the highly volatile 2022 electricity prices, which have seldom been studied. As a benchmark, we use all intraday transactions at the time of forecast to compute a live IDFull value. According to market efficiency, it should not be possible to improve on this last-price benchmark. However, we observe significant improvements in point measures and probability scores, including an average reduction of $5.9\,\%$ in absolute errors and an average increase of $1.7\,\%$ in accuracy when forecasting whether the IDFull exceeds the day-ahead price. Finally, we challenge the use of LASSO in electricity price forecasting, showing that OMP results in superior performance, specifically an average reduction of $22.7\,\%$ in absolute error and $20.2\,\%$ in the continuous ranked probability score.

  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.

  Traditional time-series econometric methods often appear incapable of capturing the true complexity of the multi-level interactions driving the price dynamics. By adopting a state-of-the-art second-order optimization algorithm, we train a Bayesian bilinear neural network with temporal attention. By addressing the use of predictive distributions to analyze errors and uncertainties associated with the estimated parameters and model forecasts, we thoroughly compare our Bayesian model with traditional ML alternatives.
