Abstract
Since bitcoin has gained recognition as a valuable asset, researchers have begun to use machine learning to predict bitcoin price. However, because of the impractical cost of hyperparameter optimization, it is greatly challenging to make accurate predictions. In this paper, we analyze the prediction performance trends under various hyperparameter configurations to help them identify the optimal hyperparameter combination with little effort. We employ two datasets which have different time periods with the same bitcoin price to analyze the prediction performance based on the similarity between the data used for learning and future data. With them, we measure the loss rates between predicted values and real price by adjusting the values of three representative hyperparameters. Through the analysis, we show that distinct hyperparameter configurations are needed for a high prediction accuracy according to the similarity between the data used for learning and the future data. Based on the result, we propose a direction for the hyperparameter optimization of the bitcoin price prediction showing a high accuracy.
