Using a Financial Training Criterion Rather than a Prediction Criterion
1997
International Journal of Neural Systems
Preserved Fulltext
The traditional approach is to train a model using a prediction criterion, such as minimizing the squared error between predictions and actual values of a dependent variable, or maximizing the likelihood ...
We nd here with noisy time-series that better results can be obtained when the model is directly trained in order to maximize the nancial criterion of interest, here gains and losses (including those due ...

Non-linear discriminant feature extraction using generalized back-propagation network

In discriminant analysis the classification results are always more strongly governed by the value of a suitably selected discriminant criterion rather than by the mean-square error. ...
In contrast, to maximize the discriminant criterion (1), the network outputs can be scattered into a two-dimensional feature space rather than a narrow line during the intermediate learning process, which ...

Our results indicate that there are no differences in the predictive quality when alternative model selection criteria are used. ...
The aim of this paper is to compare the influence of different model selection criteria on the performance of ARMA-and VAR-models to predict turning points in nine financial time series. ...
A performance criterion in this spirit is the Cumulative Wealth (CW ). We predict TPs in nine financial time series of monthly periodicity with ARMA-and VAR-models using rolling regressions. ...
