The comparison of a linear and nonlinear prediction approach is the focus of this study. The results show that while out-of-sample prediction accuracies are weak in terms of statistical significance, asset allocation performances based on linear predictions result in significant Jensen's alpha measures and Sharpe-ratio and are further improved by nonlinear predictions.","PeriodicalId":114865,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Neural Networks & Related Topics (Topic)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117055372","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nevertheless, researchers have developed various linear and non linear methods for effective forecasting. Among these neural networks are most suitable for forecasting non linear and chaotic relationships among variables. The current study attempts to forecast the future returns of B.S.E, highly volatile index, with the help of conventional method i.e. ARIMA (Auto Regression Integrated Moving Average) and Artificial Neural Network M.L.P (Multilayer Perceptron). To examine the efficiency of the models, MAD (Mean Absolute Deviation) and MSE (Mean Square Error) of the two models are compared. The study results revealed that neural network is better for forecasting in comparison to ARIMA.","PeriodicalId":114865,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Neural Networks & Related Topics (Topic)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134021594","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Often arises the problem of a black-box approach, i.e. after having trained neural networks to a particular problem, it is almost impossible to analyze them for how they work. Fuzzy Neuronal Networks allow adding rules to neural networks. This avoids the black-box-problem. Additionally they are supposed to have a higher prediction precision in unlike situations. Applying artificial neural network, genetic algorithm and fuzzy logic for the stock market prediction has attracted much attention recently, which has better correlated the non-quantitative factors with the stock market performance. However these approaches perform less satisfactorily due to the memoryless nature of the stock market performance. In this paper, we propose a data compression-based portfolio prediction model hybridized with the fuzzy logic and genetic algorithm. In the model, the quantifiable microeconomic stock data are first optimized through the genetic algorithms to generate the most effective microeconomic data in relation to the stock market performance.","PeriodicalId":114865,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Neural Networks & Related Topics (Topic)","volume":"133 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123992332","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper deals with the application of SVR in volatility forecasting. Based on a recurrent SVR, a GARCH method is proposed and is compared with a moving average (MA), a recurrent NN and a parametric GACH in terms of their ability to forecast financial markets volatility. The real data in this study uses British Pound-US Dollar (GBP) daily exchange rates from July 2, 2003 to June 30, 2005 and New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) daily composite index from July 3, 2003 to June 30, 2005. The experiment shows that, under both varying and fixed forecasting schemes, the SVR-based GARCH outperforms the MA, the recurrent NN and the parametric GARCH based on the criteria of mean absolute error (MAE) and directional accuracy (DA). No structured way being available to choose the free parameters of SVR, the sensitivity of performance is also examined to the free parameters.","PeriodicalId":114865,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Neural Networks & Related Topics (Topic)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133874684","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To adjust raw data from their cyclical component, many studies start by implementing the intra-daily average observations model (IAOM) and/or some smoothing techniques (e.g. the kernel method) in order to remove the day of the week effect. When seasonality involves only a deterministic component, IAOM method succeed in estimating periodicity almost without estimation error. However, when seasonality contains both deterministic and stochastic components (e.g. closed days), we show that either the IAOM or the kernel method fail to capture it. We introduce the use of the self-organizing maps (SOM) as a solution. SOM are based on neural network learning and nonlinear projections. Their flexibility allows capturing seasonality even in the presence of stochastic cycles.","PeriodicalId":114865,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Neural Networks & Related Topics (Topic)","volume":"137 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115566089","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
