We show that market conditions can be characterized by distinguishable statistical patterns that can be learned from historic data and used, together with real-time observable information, to identify the current market regime and to forecast market changes. We use a Gaussian Mixture Model to represent the probabilities of market prices and, by clustering these probabilities, we identify different economic regimes. We show that the regimes so identified have properties that correlate with market factors that are not directly observable. We then present methods to predict regime changes. We validate our methods by presenting experimental results obtained with data from the Trading Agent Competition for Supply Chain Management.}, wwwnote = {Initial version appeared at International Joint Conference for Artificial Intelligence in Proc. of Workshop on Trading Agent Design and Analysis, pp. 53 - 60, Edinburgh, Scotland, August 1st 2005. }, publisher = "Springer Verlag Berlin Heidelberg", year = {2006}, bib2html_pubtype = {Book Chapter}, bib2html_rescat = {Trading Agents: Supply-Chain Management}, }
