The main objective of this research is to forecast the daily direction of Standard & Poor's 500 (S&P 500) index using an artificial neural network (ANN). In order to select the most influential features (factors) of the proposed ANN that affect the daily direction of S&P 500 (the response),...

In this paper, a new method is proposed to optimize a multi-response optimization problem based on the Taguchi method for the processes where controllable factors are the smaller-the-better (STB)-type variables and the analyzer desires to find an optimal solution with smaller amount of...

Various artificial neural networks types are examined and compared for the prediction of surface roughness in manufacturing technology. The aim of the study is to evaluate different kinds of neural networks and observe their performance and applicability on the same problem. More specifically,...
