Abstract

Chebyshev polynomials have unique properties that place them in a class of functions that are highly efficient in the approximation of non-linear functions. Machine learning techniques are being applied to solve complex non-linear problems in the financial markets where there is a proliferation of financial products. The techniques for valuing diverse portfolios of these products can be time consuming and expensive. Formal research has been conducted to determine how machine learning can considerably reduce the computational effort without losing accuracy. The objective of this systematic literature review is to discover evidence of research on the optimal use of Chebyshev polynomials in machine learning and neural networks that may be used for the estimation of generalized financial outcomes of large clusters of small economic units in low-income communities in sub-Saharan Africa. Scopus, ProQuest, and Web of Science databases were queried with search criteria designed to recover peer-reviewed research articles that addressed this objective. Many articles discussing broader applications in engineering, computer science, and applied mathematics were found. Several articles provided insights into the challenges of forecasting stock price outcomes from unpredictable market activities, and in investment portfolio valuations. One article addressed specific environmental issues relating to energy, biology, and ecological situations, and presented encouraging results. While the literature search did not find any similar articles that address economic forecasting for low-income communities, the applications and techniques used in stock market forecasting and portfolio valuations can contribute to formative theory on sustainable development. There is currently no theoretical underpinning of sustainable development initiatives in developing countries. A framework for small business structures, data collection, and near real-time processing is proposed as a potential data-driven approach to guide policy decisions and private sector involvement.
