Combination of Linear and General Regression Neural Network for Robust Short Term Financial Prediction

Abstract

In business applications, robust short term prediction is important for survival. Artificial neural network (ANN) have shown excellent potential however it needs better extrapolation capacity in order to provide reliable short term prediction. In this paper, a combination of linear regression model in parallel with general regression neural network is introduced for short term financial prediction. The experiment shows that the proposed model achieves comparable prediction performance to other conventional prediction models. © Springer-Verlag 2003.
