The purpose of this paper is to present a neuro-fuzzy approach of financial distress pre-warning model appropriate for risk supervisors, investors and policy makers. We examine a sample of the financial institutions and electronic companies of Taiwan Security Exchange (TSE) from 2002 through...

In this paper we present the neuro-fuzzy technology for the prediction of economic crisis of USA economy. Our findings support ANFIS models to traditional discrete choice models of Probit and Logit, indicating that the last models are not very useful for forecasting purposes. We have developed a...

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 discrete choice models, Logit and Probit are examined in order to predict the economic recession or expansion periods in USA. Additionally we propose an adaptive neurofuzzy inference system with triangular and Gaussian membership functions and genetic algorithms training...

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 examine feed-forward neural networks using genetic algorithms in the training process instead of error backpropagation algorithm. Additionally real encoding is preferred to binary encoding as it is more appropriate to find the optimum weights. We use learning and momentum rates...

This paper examines the well know day of the week effect on stock returns. Various approaches have been developed and applied in order to examine calendar effects in stock returns and to formulate appropriate financial and risk portfolios. We propose an alternative approach in the estimation of...

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
