Forecasting S&P 500 index using artificial neural networks and design of experiments
TLDR
Results show that the ANN that uses the most influential features is able to forecast the daily direction of S&P 500 significantly better than the traditional logit model and indicate that ANN could significantly improve the trading profit as compared with the buy-and-hold strategy.Abstract:
The main objective of this research is to forecast the daily direction of Standard & Poor's 500 (S&P 500) index using an artificial neural network (ANN). In order to select the most influential features (factors) of the proposed ANN that affect the daily direction of S&P 500 (the response), design of experiments are conducted to determine the statistically significant factors among 27 potential financial and economical variables along with a feature defined as the number of nodes of the ANN. The results of employing the proposed methodology show that the ANN that uses the most influential features is able to forecast the daily direction of S&P 500 significantly better than the traditional logit model. Furthermore, experimental results of employing the proposed ANN on the trades in a test period indicate that ANN could significantly improve the trading profit as compared with the buy-and-hold strategy.read more

Multilayer feedforward networks are universal approximators
TL;DR: It is rigorously established that standard multilayer feedforward networks with as few as one hidden layer using arbitrary squashing functions are capable of approximating any Borel measurable function from one finite dimensional space to another to any desired degree of accuracy, provided sufficiently many hidden units are available.

Asset returns and inflation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors estimate the extent to which various assets were hedges against the expected and unexpected components of the inflation rate during the 1953-1971 period and find that U.S. government bonds and bills were a complete hedge against expected inflation, and private residential real estate was a complete hedging against both expected and expected inflation.
