APPLICATIONS OF THEORIES OF COMPELEXITY AND CHAOS TO GOLD PRICES

Chaos theory is considered as a new subject in understanding non linear system’s dynamic behaviours. Chaos theorem is used in several fields such as mathematics, physics, chemistry as well as in finance and economics sector. Although, there is a enourmous demand for gold, gold prices are volatile because of different reasons. This volatility chould be reduced by chaos theory. Also, the aim is to show whether gold prices data shows any chaotic behavior or not.

KAOS VE KARMAŞIKLIK TEORİSİNİN ALTIN FİYATLARINA UYGULANMASI

Kaos teorisi, doğrusal olmayan sistemlerin dinamik davranışlarını anlamada yeni bir konu olarak kabul edilir. Kaos teori, matematik, fizik, kimya gibi finans ve ekonomi sektörlerinde de kullanılmaktadır. Altın için büyük bir talep olmasına rağmen, altın fiyatları farklı sebeplerden dolayı değişkenlik gösteriyor. Bu dalgalanma kaos teorisi ile azaltılabilir. Amacımız, altın fiyatlarının herhangi bir kaotik davranışı gösterip göstermediğini bulmaktır.
