Evolutionary Strategies vs. Neural Networks; An Inflation Forecasting Experiment
نویسندگان
چکیده
Previous work has used neural networks to predict the rate of inflation in Taiwan using four measures of ‘money’ (simple sum and three divisia measures). In this work we develop a new approach that uses an evolutionary strategy as a predictive tool. This approach is simple to implement yet produces results that are favourable with the neural network predictions. Computational results are given.

Co-Evolving Neural Networks with evolutionary Strategies: A New Application to Divisia Money
This work applies state-of-the-art artificial intelligence forecasting methods to provide new evidence of the comparative performance of statistically weighted Divisia indices vis a vis their simple sum counterparts in a simple inflation forecasting experiment. We develop a new approach that uses coevolution (using neural networks and evolutionary strategies) as a predictive tool. This approach...

متن کاملForecasting Gold Price Changes: Application of an Equipped Artificial Neural Network
The forecast of fluctuations and prices is the major concern in financial markets. Thus, developing an accurate and robust forecasting decision model is critically favorable to the investors. As gold has shown a special capability to smooth inflation fluctuations, governors use gold as a price controlling lever. Thus, more information about future gold price trends will help to make the firm de...
متن کاملInflation Forecasting using a Neural Network
This paper evaluates the usefulness of neural networks for inflation forecasting. In a pseudo out-of-sample forecasting experiment using recent U.S. data, neural networks outperform univariate autoregressive models on average for short horizons of 1 and 2 quarters. A simple specification of the neural network model and specialized estimation procedures from the neural networks literature appear...
متن کاملDoes Money Matter? An Artificial Intelligence Approach
This paper provides the most complete evidence to date on the importance of monetary aggregates as a policy tool in an inflation forecasting experiment. Every possible definition of ‘money’ in the USA is being considered for the full data period (1960 – 2006), in addition to two different approaches to constructing the benchmark asset, using the most sophisticated non-linear artificial intellig...
