This paper investigates the use of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) to combine time series forecasts of stock market volatility from the USA, Canada, Japan and the UK. We demonstrate that combining with nonlinear ANNs generally produces forecasts which, on the basis of out-of-sample forecast encomp

β¦ Synopsis
In this paper we discuss and expand recent innovations in forecast combining with artificial neural networks (ANNs). In particular, we demonstrate that ANNs can outperform traditional forecast combining procedures, such as least-squares weighting, because ANNs can account for traditionally uncaptured interaction effects between time series forecasts. Data employed in this study are price volatility forecasts for the S & P 500 stock index.

The aim of the work presented in this paper is to propose artificial neural networks (ANN) as a tool for nonlinear combination of forecasts. In this study, the performance of the networks is evaluated by comparing them to three individual forecasting methods and two conventional linear combining met
Sales forecasting plays a very prominent role in business strategy. Numerous investigations addressing this problem have generally employed statistical methods, such as regression or autoregressive and moving average (ARMA). Sales forecasting is very complicated owing to in uence by internal and ext
