At the end of every year the Value Line (VL) Corporation publishes its forecasts of the Dow Jones Index and its probable ranges for the coming three years using a three explanatory variable multiple regression model that we call the Value Line Dow Jones (VL-DJ) model. The model is a static time series model. Therefore, forecasts of the Dow Jones Index rely on forecasts of the independent variab...

accurate quantitative precipitation forecasts (qpfs) have been always a demanding and challenging job in numerical weather prediction (nwp). the outputs of ensemble prediction systems (epss) in the form of probability forecasts provide a valuable tool for probabilistic quantitative precipitation forecasts (pqpfs). in this research, different configurations of wrf and mm5 meso-scale models form ...

Before 1960, little empirical research was done on forecasting methods. Since then, the literature has grown rapidly, especially in the area of judgmental forecasting. This research supports and adds to the forecasting guidelines proposed before 1960, such as the value of combining forecasts. New findings have led to significant gains in our ability to forecast and to help people to use forecas...

The mixture of two already known soft computing techniques, like Genetic Algorithms and Neural Networks (NN) in Financial modeling, takes a new approach in the search for the best variables involving an Econometric model using a Neural Network. This new approach helps to recognize the importance of an economic variable among different variables regarding econometric modeling. A Genetic algorith...
