abstract nowadays, due to the environmental uncertainty and rapid development of new technologies, economic variables are often predicted by using less data and short-term timeframes. therefore, prediction methods which require fewer amounts of data are needed. auto regressive integrated moving average (arima) model and artificial neural networks (anns) need large amounts of data to achieve acc...

in recent years, various time series models have been proposed for financial markets forecasting. in each case, the accuracy of time series forecasting models are fundamental to make decision and hence the research for improving the effectiveness of forecasting models have been curried on. many researchers have compared different time series models together in order to determine more efficient ...

improving time series forecastingaccuracy is an important yet often difficult task.both theoretical and empirical findings haveindicated that integration of several models is an effectiveway to improve predictive performance, especiallywhen the models in combination are quite different. in this paper,a model of the hybrid artificial neural networks andfuzzy model is proposed for time series for...

Forecasting models have wide applications in decision making. In the real world, rapid changes normally take place in different areas, specifically in financial markets. Collecting the required data is a main problem for forecasters in such unstable environments. Forecasting methods such as Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) models and also Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) need ...

In today’s world, using quantitative methods are very important for financial markets forecast, improvement of decisions and investments. In recent years, various time series forecasting methods have been proposed for financial markets forecasting. In each case, the accuracy of time series methods fundamental to make decision and hence the research for improving the effectiveness of forecasting...

Streamflow forecasting is very important for water resources management and flood defence. In this paper two forecasting methods are compared: ARIMA versus a multilayer perceptron neural network. This comparison is done by forecasting a streamflow of a Mexican river. Surprising results showed that in a monthly basis, ARIMA has lower prediction errors than this Neural Network. Key-Words: Auto re...

b a c k g r o u n d & aim: one of the common used models in time series is auto regressive integrated moving  average  (arima)  model.  arima  will  do  modeling  only  linearly.  artificial  neural networks (ann) are modern methods that be used for time series forecasting.  these models can identify non-linear relationships  among data. the breast cancer has the most mortality of cancers among...

Despite several individual forecasting models that have been proposed in the literature, accurate forecasting is yet one of the major challenging problems facing decision makers in various fields, especially financial markets. This is the main reason that numerous researchers have been devoted to develop strategies to improve forecasting accuracy. One of the most well established and widely use...
