Abstract: Accurate prediction of the carbon trading price (CTP) is crucial to the decision-making of relevant stakeholders, and can also provide a reference for policy makers. However, the time interval for the CTP is one day, resulting in a relatively small sample size of data available for predictions. When dealing with small sample data, deep learning algorithms can trade only a small improvement in prediction accuracy at the expense of efficiency and computing time. In contrast, fine-grained configurations of traditional model inputs and parameters often perform no less well than deep learning algorithms. In this context, this paper proposes a novel hybrid CTP prediction model based on the complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise (CEEMDAN) and a windowed-based XGBoost approach. First, the initial CTP data is decomposed into multiple subsequences with relatively low volatility and randomness based on the CEEMDAN algorithm. Then, the decomposed carbon valence series and covariates are subject to windowed processing to become the inputs of the XGBoost model. Finally, the universality of the proposed model is verified through case studies of four carbon emission trading markets with different modal characteristics, and the superiority of the proposed model is verified by comparing with seven other models. The results show that the prediction error of the proposed XGBoost(W-b) algorithm is reduced by 4.72%~81.47% compared to other prediction algorithms. In addition, the introduction of CEEMDAN further reduces the prediction error by 25.24%~89.28% on the basis of XGBoost(W-b).
