Prediction of Amazon’s Stock Price Based on ARIMA, XGBoost, and LSTM Models
Open accessAbstract
Finding the best model to predict the trend of stock prices is an issue that has always garnered attention, and it is also closely related to investors’ investment dynamics. Even the commonly used autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA), extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), and long short-term memory (LSTM) have their own advantages and disadvantages. We use mean squared error (MSE) to judge the most suitable model for predicting Amazon’s stock price from many aspects and find that LSTM is the model with the best fitting effect and the closest to the real curve. However, the LSTM model still needs to improve in terms of performance so as to reduce the bias. We anticipate the discovery of more models that are apt for predicting stocks in the future.

Based on the evaluation parameters, XG-Boost outperformed ARIMA and LSTM.
“Based on the evaluation parameters, XG-Boost outperformed ARIMA and LSTM (Zhu and He 2022).”
From Forecasting Stock Market Prices Using Machine Learning and Deep Learning Models: A Systematic Review, Performance Analysis and Discussion of Implications (2023) · cites this paper as Zhu and He 2022
In the MACD section, the paper says LSTM had a much smaller MSE than both ARIMA and XGBoost for predicting Amazon’s stock price. The Abstract likewise identifies LSTM as the best-fitting model. The paper’s own evaluation therefore contradicts the claim that XGBoost outperformed both models. (LLM, conf=0.94)
Checked by a reasoning model — may be wrong.
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredXG-Boost is an ensembled learning technique that uses decision trees sequentially and gradient boosting iteratively to obtain better results; it is sensitive to hyperparameters and will not work as well on large datasets as random forest.
“XG-Boost is an ensembled learning technique that uses decision trees but in a sequential manner and uses gradient boosting in an iterative manner to obtain better results.XG-Boost is sensitive to hyperparameters and will not work as well on large datasets as random forest (Zhu and He 2022).”

Section 3.3 describes XGBoost as based on gradient-boosted decision trees and says each additive training step depends on the previous one, supporting the sequential, iterative part of the claim. It discusses customization parameters but does not say XGBoost is sensitive to hyperparameters; nor does it say XGBoost performs worse than random forest on large datasets. The retrieved copy provides no page numbers for these passages. (LLM, conf=0.88)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredXG-Boost is a good prediction model for stock forecasting because it works on a sequential model that considers the gradient for each iteration so that the weights are updated for each iteration of the decision tree.

XG-Boost achieved MSE 360.0.

The experiment discussion reports XGBoost validation RMSE approaching 600, but does not give an XGBoost MSE of 360.0. Table 2, labeled “MSE of three models,” is cut off after its header in our copy, so the claimed value cannot be checked. (LLM, conf=0.72)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
