This book was released on 2006-03-28 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Predicting the future for financial gain is a difficult, sometimes profitable activity. The focus of this book is the application of biologically inspired algorithms (BIAs) to financial modelling. In a detailed introduction, the authors explain computer trading on financial markets and the difficulties faced in financial market modelling. Then Part I provides a thorough guide to the various bioinspired methodologies – neural networks, evolutionary computing (particularly genetic algorithms and grammatical evolution), particle swarm and ant colony optimization, and immune systems. Part II brings the reader through the development of market trading systems. Finally, Part III examines real-world case studies where BIA methodologies are employed to construct trading systems in equity and foreign exchange markets, and for the prediction of corporate bond ratings and corporate failures. The book was written for those in the finance community who want to apply BIAs in financial modelling, and for computer scientists who want an introduction to this growing application domain.

Book excerpt: newlineThe basis for this research originally stemmed from my passion for developing better and efficient methods to predict the time series financial data. As the world moves further into globalization and in this digital age, generating vast amounts of financial data and born digital content, there will be a greater need to access accurately the financial information about a country, so that it will help in economic growth of that country. Previously it is very difficult to get the parameters and technical indicators that affects the economy of a country. In most of the research works the researchers have used technical indicators as the parameters to predict the stock index and exchange rate of any country. These data are biased so they affect the prediction performance. It has been observed from the analysis of global market that the exchange rate and stock index of any country depends on the major stock indices and exchange rates of developed countries. Therefore, we have designed datasets by considering major stock indices of the world and exchange rates of developed G-7 countries to predict the future values of stock index and exchange rate of another country. In this research work, we have experimentally concluded that we can use the major stock indices of the world and exchange rates of developed countries as predictors. newlineMoreover, from the deep analysis, it has been observed that radial basis function neural networks are capable of universal approximation and are performing better than the other traditional prediction models for predicting the financial data. However, in many cases/instance, it is difficult to obtained the optimal parameters for the radial basis function neural network. Therefore, we have concentrated on designing and improving the efficiency of radial basis function neural networks by using bio-inspired algorithms. In this globalization era the economy of most of the country depends on the financial stability of other country. The prediction of financial data can be done more accurately if we could use better algorithms for prediction purpose. Researchers have suggested that neural networks based algorithms are performing better than traditional statistical algorithms and all most all the researchers are agreed that radial basis function network can be used as a universal approximator. Therefore, in our research work we have used radial basis function neural network as our prediction algorithm and then, we have improved its performance by fine tuning the parameters of the radial basis function neural network by using bio-inspired algorithm. One of the most popular bio-inspired algorithm is particle newlinevii newlineswarm optimization algorithm. It is widely used for solving optimization problems due to its simplicity and less number of parameters. Hence, we have considered canonical particle swarm optimization algorithm to fine tune the parameters of radial basis function neural network. From the experimental results we have observed that the performance of particle swarm optimized radial basis function neural network is performing better than the traditional radial basis function neural network algorithm. However, in this approach we have selected the particles randomly and the initial weights are updated by using the random number generator function. Further, we have analyzed that chaotic functions have better statistical and dynamical behavior than the random number generator function, which basically follows the normal distribution. Therefore, to improve the performance of the above model we have considered chaotic function instead of random number generator function to fine tune the inertia weights. Finally, based on the experimental results, we have compared our proposed model with other models. We have applied our proposed model to the three different areas in financial sector such as stock index prediction.

This book was released on 2018-01-12 with total page 785 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of Computational Economics and Finance provides a survey of both the foundations of and recent advances in the frontiers of analysis and action. It is both historically and interdisciplinarily rich and also tightly connected to the rise of digital society. It begins with the conventional view of computational economics, including recent algorithmic development in computing rational expectations, volatility, and general equilibrium. It then moves from traditional computing in economics and finance to recent developments in natural computing, including applications of nature-inspired intelligence, genetic programming, swarm intelligence, and fuzzy logic. Also examined are recent developments of network and agent-based computing in economics. How these approaches are applied is examined in chapters on such subjects as trading robots and automated markets. The last part deals with the epistemology of simulation in its trinity form with the integration of simulation, computation, and dynamics. Distinctive is the focus on natural computationalism and the examination of the implications of intelligent machines for the future of computational economics and finance. Not merely individual robots, but whole integrated systems are extending their "immigration" to the world of Homo sapiens, or symbiogenesis.

Download or read book Natural Computing in Computational Finance written by Anthony Brabazon and published by Springer. This book was released on 2009-01-30 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent years have seen the widespread application of Natural Computing algorithms (broadly defined in this context as computer algorithms whose design draws inspiration from phenomena in the natural world) for the purposes of financial modelling and optimisation. A related stream of work has also seen the application of learning mechanisms drawn from Natural Computing algorithms for the purposes of agent-based modelling in finance and economics. In this book we have collected a series of chapters which illustrate these two faces of Natural Computing. The first part of the book illustrates how algorithms inspired by the natural world can be used as problem solvers to uncover and optimise financial models. The second part of the book examines a number agent-based simulations of financial systems. This book follows on from Natural Computing in Computational Finance (Volume 100 in Springer’s Studies in Computational Intelligence series) which in turn arose from the success of EvoFIN 2007, the very first European Workshop on Evolutionary Computation in Finance & Economics held in Valencia, Spain in April 2007.
