Examines the theoretical base of the neural network technique showing, for example, that it is linked in formal and practical terms with expert systems and that it uses a statistical approach. After beginning with a discussion of models of information processing by consumers, proceeds to outline...

Purpose – This study aims to adapt a neural network based fuzzy time series model to improve Taiwan's tourism demand forecasting. Design/methodology/approach – Fuzzy sets are for modeling imprecise data and neural networks are for establishing non‐linear relationships among fuzzy sets. A...

This paper uses a neural network to analyse the interactive effects of strategic planning on hotel performance. Based on the data collected from 100 hotel units the constructs of planning sophistication and planning thoroughness have direct positive effect on overall performance. Conversely, the...

Shows how neural networks can bring together psychometric and econometric approaches to the measurement of attitudes and perceptions. Uses a neural network to analyse data collected from a sample of ATM users on their perceptions of ATM service. Uses the weights of connections from input nodes...
