对比六种模型预测比特币交易费,发现传统方法更有效。
Comprehensive Modeling Approaches for Forecasting Bitcoin Transaction Fees: A Comparative Study
- 用多种特征构建预测模型,涵盖内存池和网络数据。
- SARIMAX在独立测试中准确率最高,优于深度学习模型。
- 数据量小是深度模型表现不佳主因,适合有长历史数据者参考。
比特币生态系统中的交易费预测关乎用户成本与矿工收益优化,是一项关键挑战。本研究系统评估了六种预测模型在24小时(144个区块)内的表现:SARIMAX、Prophet、Time2Vec、带注意力的Time2Vec、结合SARIMAX与梯度提升的混合模型,以及时间融合变压器(TFT)。方法融合了内存池指标、网络参数和历史费用模式等多维度特征,以捕捉费用行为的复杂动态。通过严格的5折交叉验证与独立测试,结果表明:传统统计方法优于复杂深度学习架构。SARIMAX在独立测试集上表现最佳,Prophet在交叉验证中表现优异。值得注意的是,尽管架构复杂,Time2Vec与TFT的预测能力反而较低。这一差距可能源于仅91天的有限训练数据,暗示深度学习模型在更长历史数据下有望表现更好。研究为加密货币相关方提供了实证支持的决策依据,明确了在数据受限条件下模型选择的关键考量,奠定了先进费用预测的基础,同时突显了传统统计方法在此领域的当前优势。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Transaction fee prediction in Bitcoin's ecosystem represents a crucial challenge affecting both user costs and miner revenue optimization. This study presents a systematic evaluation of six predictive models for forecasting Bitcoin transaction fees across a 24-hour horizon (144 blocks): SARIMAX, Prophet, Time2Vec, Time2Vec with Attention, a Hybrid model combining SARIMAX with Gradient Boosting, and the Temporal Fusion Transformer (TFT). Our approach integrates comprehensive feature engineering spanning mempool metrics, network parameters, and historical fee patterns to capture the multifaceted dynamics of fee behavior. Through rigorous 5-fold cross-validation and independent testing, our analysis reveals that traditional statistical approaches outperform more complex deep learning architectures. The SARIMAX model achieves superior accuracy on the independent test set, while Prophet demonstrates strong performance during cross-validation. Notably, sophisticated deep learning models like Time2Vec and TFT show comparatively lower predictive power despite their architectural complexity. This performance disparity likely stems from the relatively constrained training dataset of 91 days, suggesting that deep learning models may achieve enhanced results with extended historical data. These findings offer significant practical implications for cryptocurrency stakeholders, providing empirically-validated guidance for fee-sensitive decision making while illuminating critical considerations in model selection based on data constraints. The study establishes a foundation for advanced fee prediction while highlighting the current advantages of traditional statistical methods in this domain.
