The use of intelligent systems for stock market predictions has been widely established. In this paper, we investigate how
the seemingly chaotic behavior of stock markets could be well-represented using ensemble of intelligent paradigms. To demonstrate
the proposed technique, we considered Nasdaq-100 index of Nasdaq Stock MarketSM and the Samp;P CNX NIFTY stock index. The intelligent paradigms considered were an artificial neural network trained using
Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm, support vector machine, Ta- kagi-Sugeno neuro-fuzzy model and a difference boosting neural
network. The different paradigms were combined using two different ensemble approaches so as to optimize the performance by
reducing the different error measures. The first approach is based on a direct error measure and the second method is based
on an evolutionary algorithm to search the optimal linear combination of the different intelligent paradigms. Experimental
results reveal that the ensemble techniques performed better than the individual methods and the direct ensemble approach
seems to work well for the problem considered.
