The Polynomial Regression forecasted value of Dow Jones Mid-Cap on the next trading day is expected to be 1,643 with a mean absolute deviation of  11.07  and the sum of the absolute errors of 675.30. Investors can use prediction functions to forecast Dow Jones' index prices and determine the direction of Dow Jones Mid-Cap's future trends based on various well-known forecasting models. However, exclusively looking at the historical price movement is usually misleading.
Most investors in Dow Jones cannot accurately predict what will happen the next trading day because, historically, index markets tend to be unpredictable and even illogical. Modeling turbulent structures requires applying different statistical methods, techniques, and algorithms to find hidden data structures or patterns within the Dow Jones' time series price data and predict how it will affect future prices. One of these methodologies is forecasting, which interprets Dow Jones' price structures and extracts relationships that further increase the generated results' accuracy.
Dow Jones polinomial regression implements a single variable polynomial regression model using the daily prices as the independent variable. The coefficients of the regression for Dow Jones Mid-Cap as well as the accuracy indicators are determined from the period prices.

Dow Jones Polynomial Regression Price Forecast For the 25th of April

Given 90 days horizon, the Polynomial Regression forecasted value of Dow Jones Mid-Cap on the next trading day is expected to be 1,643 with a mean absolute deviation of 11.07, mean absolute percentage error of 203.11, and the sum of the absolute errors of 675.30.
Please note that although there have been many attempts to predict Dow Index prices using its time series forecasting, we generally do not recommend using it to place bets in the real market. The most commonly used models for forecasting predictions are the autoregressive models, which specify that Dow Jones' next future price depends linearly on its previous prices and some stochastic term (i.e., imperfectly predictable multiplier).

Dow Jones Index Forecast Pattern

Dow Jones Forecasted Value

In the context of forecasting Dow Jones' Index value on the next trading day, we examine the predictive performance of the model to find good statistically significant boundaries of downside and upside scenarios. Dow Jones' downside and upside margins for the forecasting period are 1,642 and 1,644, respectively. We have considered Dow Jones' daily market price to evaluate the above model's predictive performance. Remember, however, there is no scientific proof or empirical evidence that traditional linear or nonlinear forecasting models outperform artificial intelligence and frequency domain models to provide accurate forecasts consistently.

Model Predictive Factors

The below table displays some essential indicators generated by the model showing the Polynomial Regression forecasting method's relative quality and the estimations of the prediction error of Dow Jones index data series using in forecasting. Note that when a statistical model is used to represent Dow Jones index, the representation will rarely be exact; so some information will be lost using the model to explain the process. AIC estimates the relative amount of information lost by a given model: the less information a model loses, the higher its quality.

The correlation of Dow Jones is a statistical measure of how it moves in relation to other instruments. This measure is expressed in what is known as the correlation coefficient, which ranges between -1 and +1. A perfect positive correlation (i.e., a correlation coefficient of +1) implies that as Dow Jones moves, either up or down, the other security will move in the same direction. Alternatively, perfect negative correlation means that if Dow Jones Mid-Cap moves in either direction, the perfectly negatively correlated security will move in the opposite direction. If the correlation is 0, the equities are not correlated; they are entirely random. A correlation greater than 0.8 is generally described as strong, whereas a correlation less than 0.5 is generally considered weak.
