Management Information Systems are meant to create methods for data management, leading to better decision making. By designing, implementing and using business information systems in innovative ways, the effectiveness and efficiency of every-day activities significantly increases. In the...

TREPAN is decision tree algorithm that utilises artificial neural networks (ANNs) in order to improve partitioning conditions when sample data is sparse. When sample sizes are limited during the tree-induction process, TREPAN relies on an ANN oracle in order to create artificial sample...

In this paper artificial neural networks (ANN) are addressed in order the Greek long-term energy consumption to be predicted. The multilayer perceptron model (MLP) has been used for this purpose by testing several possible architectures in order to be selected the one with the best generalizing...

At the beginning of the 90’s, Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) started their applications in finance. The ANNs are data-drive, self-adaptive and non-linear methods that do not require specific assumptions about the underlying model. In general, there are five groups of networks used as...

This study aims to analyze the effects of data pre-processing on the performance of forecasting based on neural network models. We use three different Artificial Neural Networks techniques to forecast tourist demand: a multi-layer perceptron, a radial basis function and an Elman neural network....
