An Autoencoder (AE) is an independent feature extractor from data samples and a deep network can be obtained by stacking several AEs. This paper presents a novel hybrid stacked Autoencoder-based Deep Kernel-based Random Vector Functional Link Network (DKRVFLN-AE) for forecasting and trend...

This chapter surveys research on agent-based models used in finance. It will concentrate on models where the use of computational tools is critical for the process of crafting models which give insights into the importance and dynamics of investor heterogeneity in many financial settings.
