We conduct a lottery experiment to assess the predictive importance of simple choice process metrics (SCPMs) in forecasting risky 50/50 gambling decisions using different types of machine learning algorithms as well as traditional choice modeling approaches. The SCPMs are recorded during a fixed...

We investigate various statistical methods for forecasting risky choices and identify important decision predictors. Subjects (n=44) are presented a series of 50/50 gambles that each involves a potential gain and a potential loss, and subjects can choose to either accept or reject a displayed...

Over the past five years, emerging economies have consistently progressed toward achieving greater economic independence. The aviation industry has played a significant role in driving this progress. Accurately forecasting the future demand for air travel is crucial for making long-term...

This paper applies computational intelligence methods to exchange rate forecasting. In particular, it employs neural network methodology in order to predict developments of the Euro exchange rate versus the U.S. Dollar and the Japanese Yen. Following a study of our series using traditional as...

We propose an automatic machine-learning system to forecast realized volatility for S&P 100 stocks using 118 features and five machine learning algorithms. A simple average ensemble model combining all learning algorithms delivers extraordinary performance across forecast horizons, and the...

Since stock markets are volatile, dynamic and complicated, forecasting stock market return is considered as a challenging task. Nevertheless, researchers have developed various linear and non linear methods for effective forecasting. Among these neural networks are most suitable for forecasting...

This study presents an extension of the Gaussian process regression model for multiple-input multiple-output forecasting. This approach allows modelling the cross-dependencies between a given set of input variables and generating a vectorial prediction. Making use of the existing correlations in...

Purpose – We use a large and rich data set consisting of over 123,000 single-family houses sold in Switzerland between 2005 and 2017 to investigate the accuracy and volatility of different methods for estimating and updating hedonic valuation models.Design/methodology/approach – We apply six...

In the euro area, monetary policy is conducted by a single central bank for 20 member countries. However, countries are heterogeneous in their economic development, including their inflation rates. This paper combines a New Keynesian model and a neural network to assess whether the European...
