This document discusses using time series analysis and machine learning algorithms to predict stock prices. Specifically, it analyzes using the ARIMA (Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average) model and other techniques like exponential smoothing, naive forecasting, seasonal naive forecasting and neural networks. The document outlines the existing methodology for stock price prediction, which involves collecting historical data, cleaning it, and using it to train and test models. It then evaluates the performance of ARIMA and exponential smoothing models on stock price data from Yahoo Finance, finding they achieved 97.6% accuracy, outperforming other algorithms. The conclusion is that time series methods like ARIMA and exponential smoothing produced reliable models when the training data exhibited strong trends, but
