Prediction of high-frequency futures return directions based on the mean uncertainty classification methods: An application in China's future market

In this paper, we mainly focus on the prediction of short-term average return directions in China's high-frequency futures market. As minor fluctuations with limited amplitude and short duration are typically regarded as random noise, only price movements of sufficient magnitude qualify as statistically significant signals. Therefore data imbalance emerges as a key problem during predictive modeling. From the view of data distribution imbalance, we employee the mean-uncertainty logistic regressi...
