In this paper we present, propose and examine additional membership functions for the Smoothing Transition Autoregressive (STAR) models. More specifically, we present the tangent hyperbolic, Gaussian and Generalized bell functions. Because Smoothing Transition Autoregressive (STAR) models follow...

In this paper we propose and examine an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) in Smoothing Transition Autoregressive (STAR) modeling. Because STAR models follow fuzzy logic approach, in the non-linear part fuzzy rules can be incorporated or other training or computational methods can be...

In this paper we propose and examine new approaches in smoothing transition autoregressive (STAR) models. Firstly, a new STAR function is proposed, which is the hyperbolic tangent sigmoid function. Secondly, we propose Feed-Forward Neural Networks Smoothing Transition Autoregressive (FFNN-STAR)...

In this paper we present, propose and examine additional membership functions as also we propose least squares with genetic algorithms optimization in order to find the optimum fuzzy membership functions parameters. More specifically, we present the tangent hyperbolic, Gaussian and Generalized...

In this paper we present the Radial Basis Neural Network Function. We examine some simple numerical examples of time-series in economics and finance. The forecasting performance is significant superior, especially in financial time-series, to traditional econometric modeling indicating that...

In this paper we present a very brief description of least mean square algorithm with applications in time-series analysis of economic and financial time series. We present some numerical applications; forecasts for the Gross Domestic Product growth rate of UK and Italy, forecasts for S&P 500...

In this paper we present, propose and examine additional membership functions. There is no reason why more functions cannot be proposed. More specifically, we present the tangent hyperbolic, Gaussian and Generalized bell functions. Because Smoothing Transition Autoregressive (STAR) models follow...

In this paper we provide MATLAB routines for two major used trading rules, the moving average indicator and MACD oscillator as also the GARCH univariate regression with Monte Carlo simulations and wavelets decomposition, which is an update of an older algorithm

In this paper we provide a simple MATLAB routine which computes the moving median with trend and seasonality. This approach is linear and for this reason has its disadvantages. So this routine can be improved by combining Monte-Carlo simulations, genetic algorithms simulations and wavelets...
