Nonlinear Financial Forecasting:
Proceedings of the First INFFC
International Nonlinear Financial Forecasting Competition
Finance & Technology Publishing
January 1997
Finance & Technology Publishing, the publisher of the NeuroVe$t Journal:
advanced technology in finance, is pleased to announce its publication of
"Nonlinear Financial Forecasting: Proceedings of the First INFFC" on
January 10, 1997.
After more than 2 years of work, this new book presents the results of the
systems that were independently designed, tested and analyzed in this
unique competition on applying nonlinear tools to financial forecasting.
Expanding and improving upon the work of previous scientific time-series
forecasting competitions, the First INFFC provided a rare opportunity to
test and analyze the predictive performance of independently developed
financial forecasting systems using new and promising technologies and
methods, such as neural networks, genetic algorithms, neurogenetic hybrids,
polynomial networks, and nearest neighbor networks.
Now, the details of this unique competition, designed to be relevant to the
interests of both financial practitioners and the time-series prediction
community, are presented. As such, the Proceedings is certain to appeal to
a large audience, and will be especially important to everyone interested
in financial forecasting.
Topics and details covered in the Proceedings:
* An overview of the INFFC from organization to results.
* An analysis of the INFFC time series used.
* The details for each of the forecasting systems tested.
* Papers from each of the participants.
* The methods and metrics used to test the forecasting systems.
* The performance results for each system.
* Analyses of the results for each system.
* What has been learned from the results and their analyses.
* How future competitions might be designed.
