Book Description

Google, officially known as Alphabet Inc., is an American multinational technology company. It was founded in September 1998 by Larry Page and Sergey Brin while they were Ph.D. students at Stanford University. Initially, it started as a research project to develop a search engine, but it rapidly grew into one of the largest and most influential technology companies in the world. Google is primarily known for its internet-related services and products, with its search engine being its most well-known offering. It revolutionized the way people access information by providing a fast and efficient search engine that delivers highly relevant results. Over the years, Google expanded its portfolio to include a wide range of products and services, including Google Maps, Google Drive, Gmail, Google Docs, Google Photos, Google Chrome, YouTube, and many more. In addition to its internet services, Google ventured into hardware with products like the Google Pixel smartphones, Google Home smart speakers, and Google Nest smart home devices. It also developed its own operating system called Android, which has become the most widely used mobile operating system globally. Google's success can be attributed to its ability to monetize its services through online advertising. The company introduced Google AdWords, a highly successful online advertising program that enables businesses to display ads on Google's search engine and other websites through its AdSense program. Advertising contributes significantly to Google's revenue, along with other sources such as cloud services, app sales, and licensing fees. The dataset used in this project starts from 19-Aug-2004 and is updated till 11-Oct-2021. It contains 4317 rows and 7 columns. The columns in the dataset are Date, Open, High, Low, Close, Adj Close, and Volume. You can download the dataset from https://viviansiahaan.blogspot.com/2023/06/google-stock-price-time-series-analysis.html. In this project, you will involve technical indicators such as daily returns, Moving Average Convergence-Divergence (MACD), Relative Strength Index (RSI), Simple Moving Average (SMA), lower and upper bands, and standard deviation. In this book, you will learn how to perform forecasting based on regression on Adj Close price of Google stock price, you will use: Linear Regression, Random Forest regression, Decision Tree regression, Support Vector Machine regression, Naïve Bayes regression, K-Nearest Neighbor regression, Adaboost regression, Gradient Boosting regression, Extreme Gradient Boosting regression, Light Gradient Boosting regression, Catboost regression, MLP regression, Lasso regression, and Ridge regression. The machine learning models used to predict Google daily returns as target variable are K-Nearest Neighbor classifier, Random Forest classifier, Naive Bayes classifier, Logistic Regression classifier, Decision Tree classifier, Support Vector Machine classifier, LGBM classifier, Gradient Boosting classifier, XGB classifier, MLP classifier, and Extra Trees classifier. Finally, you will develop GUI to plot boundary decision, distribution of features, feature importance, predicted values versus true values, confusion matrix, learning curve, performance of the model, and scalability of the model.
