Neural network approach to forecasting of quasiperiodic financial time series

A novel neural network approach to forecasting of financial time series based on the presentation of the series as a combination of quasiperiodic components is presented. Separate components may have aliquant, and possibly non-stationary frequencies. All their parameters are estimated in real time in an ensemble of predictors, whose outputs are then optimally combined to obtain the final forecast. Special architecture of artificial neural network and learning algorithms implementing this approach are developed.
