Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

This is a revised and expanded edition of the first-ever book focusing on financial applications of neural networks. This widely-acclaimed classic provides portfolio managers, institutional investors, bankers, and analysts with a comprehensive and fascinating introduction to this important technology and numerous insights into its most effective use.

The promise of computers has always been their ability to extend the capacity of human mental processes. Nowhere is that promise more fully realized than in neural networks and in no field are the implications of greater economic significance than finance.

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent research reference on the subject, March 30, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Neural Networks Finance and Investment: Using Artificial Intelligence to Improve Real-World Performance (Hardcover)

This book is an excellent book on the application of Neural networks to the financial world. This is a collection of articles for the knowledgeable in the area of finacial investments and Neural Networks. With this in mind this book constitutes an excellent reference book to any graduate course in any finance dept to apply intelligent decision making to financial estimates and investments. It is a reference book for all those out there who are thinking about doing research in this area. Both authors have written lots of publications in the area and that is a plus. Even though this book is getting to be little bit old, a new book coming out by the by the same first author and the same company seems to be an updated review on the subject and promises to become a reference too. Excellent refence!
