Structure and dynamics of financial networks by feature ranking method

Abstract Much research has been done on time series of financial market in last two decades using linear and non-linear correlation of the returns of stocks. In this paper, we design a method of network reconstruction for the financial market by using the insights from machine learning tool. To do s...
