Abstract

In this contribution, we investigate the possibilities of using fuzzy and fractal methods for analyzing time series of market data. First, we implemented and tested a fuzzy component that provides fuzzyfication by the Mamdani Larsen inference method with static rules using not only Gauss but also Cauchy and Mandelbrot distribution. Second, we implemented and tested a fractal component that provides fuzzy clustering by the Takagi Sugeno method with dynamic fuzzy rules. Looking for an optimum, we simulated many parameter combinations and compared the results. We present some interesting results of our experiments.
