Neural Networks and the Financial Markets : Predicting, Combining and Portfolio Optimisation /

This volume looks at financial prediction from a broad range of perspectives. It covers: - the economic arguments - the practicalities of the markets - how predictions are used - how predictions are made - how predictions are turned into something usable (asset locations) It combines a discussion of...
