A Neuro-fuzzy Logic Forecasting System in Stock Investment Decision Making Processes

Book excerpt: "The sophisticated financial investment world is characterized by highly random variations in stock prices, financial indexes and trading volumes so that it is quite difficult to get fundamental understanding of the financial investment process and to predict the stock market. This research attempts to develop a new and innovative approach to predict the stock time series with artificial intelligence techniques. Specifically, a fuzzy logic analysis has been made to predict the stock time series with different characteristic variables and different investments horizons, respectively. A neural network is designed to fine-tune the parameters involved and thus a neuron-fuzzy logic time series forecasting model has been developed" - abstract.
