Abstract: Abstract As a linear regression parameter estimation method, the least square method plays an indispensable role in the parameter estimation of ARCH model. Although the least squares solution can minimize the sum of the squared errors, it will cause uneven distribution of errors, that is, some fitting errors are too large, and some fitting errors are too small, which will lead to overfitting. In response to this situation, we adopt a novel perturbation method to solve this problem. The specific theoretical derivation of the perturbation method is given in this paper. It takes parameters estimated by the least squares method as its initial iteration value. The maximum fitting error will decrease continuously from a series of iterations to final convergence. Furthermore, based on the perturbation method, this paper finds a condition that makes the ARCH model satisfy the non-negative limit of parameters. The experimental process uses real stock fund’s fluctuation data for fitting analysis and prediction. The experimental results show that the perturbation method can achieve the expected effect in the parameter estimation of the ARCH model, it can also effectively ensure that the fitting errors fluctuate within the controllable range when predicting the price fluctuation of stock funds in the future.
