Abstract

This book examines the design of an automated system for financial time series forecasting. It explores the level of automation which can be achieved by a system for modelling a given financial time series with the minimum of human intervention. It aims to help the reader understand the issues involved in setting neural network, or genetic algorithm parameters, and to develop methods to deal with the problems they raise in a practical manner. Intelligent Systems and Financial Forecasting will provide invaluable reading material for academic and industrial researchers (particularly those with an interest in the application of adaptive system technology), information technology consultants applying adaptive system techniques, and graduate/postgraduate students in machine learning, AI, business modelling and finance.
