A Novel Hybrid Approach to Forecasting Crude Oil Prices Using Local Mean Decomposition, ARIMA, and XGBoost by Jawaria Nasir, Muhammad Aamir, Soofia Iftikhar, A. B. Albidah, Ohud A. Alqasem, Maysaa E. A. Elwahab, Ilyas Khan, Wei Sin Koh

“…Unlike standalone neural networks, which require large amounts of data to generalize effectively, our hybrid approach leverages ARIMA and XGBOOST models that are inherently less prone to overfitting due to their simpler structures and feature-focused learning. To validate the proposed hybrid approach, data from the West Texas Intermediate (WTI) which is publicly available is employed.…”
