This paper analyses the forecasting performance of monetary policy reaction functions using U.S. Federal Reserve's Greenbook real-time data. The results indicate that artificial neural networks are able to predict the nominal interest rate better than linear and nonlinearTaylor rule models as...

This study uses the Taguchi orthogonal method and artificial neural network to optimize enzymatic bioprocessing of animal waste cartilage (chicken, mini pig and hog). Specifically, the artificial neural network is used in parallel with the Taguchi orthogonal array process for enzymatic...
