The ARIMA model exhibited a lower RMSE and a lower MAPE, indicating that its predictions were closer to the actual values and had a smaller percentage error on average. This result might seem counterintuitive as LSTM models are generally considered more powerful for complex sequence data. However, several factors could contribute to this outcome: * **Dataset Characteristics**: The stock price data might exhibit strong linear relationships and stationarity (or can be made stationary through differencing), which ARIMA models are well-suited to capture. LSTM models often excel with more complex, non-linear patterns that might not be predominantly present or effectively learned by the current LSTM configuration in this specific dataset. * **Model Hyperparameters and Tuning**: The ARIMA model's order (5,1,0) was chosen as a simplified example. Similarly, the LSTM model's architecture (number of layers, units, epochs, `look_back` period) and training parameters were set to common values. Extensive hyperparameter tuning for both models, especially the LSTM, could potentially improve their performance. LSTM models are particularly sensitive to hyperparameters and require more data and careful tuning to outperform traditional methods. * **Data Size**: While the dataset is sufficient for demonstration, larger and more diverse datasets often allow deep learning models like LSTM to better learn complex patterns and generalize more effectively. * **Rolling Window Evaluation**: The implementation uses a basic rolling window evaluation. More sophisticated rolling window strategies or cross-validation techniques could provide a more robust comparison. **Recommendation**: For this specific task and given the current implementations, the **ARIMA model is recommended** due to its superior performance in terms of RMSE and MAPE. However, for future improvements or more complex stock forecasting challenges, further optimization and hyperparameter tuning of the LSTM model, potentially with a larger and more diverse dataset, could yield better results. Additionally, exploring other advanced deep learning architectures or hybrid models could be beneficial.
