Using the long-term wavelet component of monthly S&P 500 excess returns as supervision information, we employ a machine learning method to extract the common predictive information of 14 prevalent macroeconomic variables, and construct a new macroeconomic index aligned for predicting stock...

Using the long-term wavelet component of monthly S&P500 excess returns as supervision information, we employ a partial least squares method to extract the common predictive information of 14 prevalent macroeconomic variables, and construct a new macroeconomic index aligned for predicting stock...
