Abstract
Artificial Neural Network as a universal function approximators can be used for mapping any nonlinear function. Used in different fields of application (congnitive science, engineering, biology, finance..), ANN have become popular in finance for their power in pattern recognition, classification and forecasting. This paper specifically examines the used of ANN in the energy market in order to build a forecast price on the energy commodities. A brief study on the feature of the energy market, in particular crude oil and natural gas prices, will be followed by an implementation of an ANN system for the forecast. Finally a comparison between a real and estimated price will be done to see if the ANN could be considered a good forecasting tool also in the energy market.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
