Entities and institutional financiers have gained a lot of growth from financial time series forecasting in recent times. But the major challenges of financial time series data are the high noise and complexity of its nature. Researchers in recent times have successfully engaged the application of support vector regression (SVR) to conquer this challenge. In this study principal component analysis (PCA) is applied to extract the low dimensionality and efficient feature information, while wavelet is used to pre-process the extracted features in other to nu1llify the influence of the noise in the features with a KSVR based forecasting model. The analysis is carried out based on the quarterly tax revenue data of 39 years from the first quarter of 1981 to the last quarter of 2016. The forecasting is made for ten quarters ahead. The initial empirical result shows that the multicollinearity has been reduced to zero (0), and the analytic result reveals that the proposed model PCA-W-KSVR outperforms KSVR, PCA-KSVR, and W-KSVR in terms of MAE, MAPE, MSE and RMSE.
