How can I develop a website that predicts stock prices using the ML based model ARIMA, and educate users about the process?

Started Sept. 2, 2023

Abstract or project description

This project has involved extensive research of the machine learning algorithm, ARIMA, a vital tool in forecasting/predictions. After understanding the key variables involved in ARIMA, I was able to write a good description of it, portraying my understanding. Regarding the product of this project, I have constructed almost a full website educating users of what ARIMA is, and how it works in stock predictions via a tool that can forecast the prices of any stock. Throughout the first half of this project, my mentor and I spent a lot of time creating this tool, by utilizing people’s code, and then modifying it to fit our goals. Once a stock symbol is entered in it, a forecast graph is generated, in addition to some metrics, such as MAPE(Mean Absolute Percentage Error), which represent the accuracy of the model. The website consists of the stock predicting tool and a small explanation of how it works, in addition to my written description of ARIMA. Overall, the course of this project has involved my learning of ARIMA, the creation of a tool, and the development of an educational website.
