From the reviews: "This monograph consisting of six parts focuses on forecasting exchange rates via artificial neural networks (ANNs) and it is based on the fruit of a very pleasant scientific cooperation between three genuine academic researchers. ...The academic researchers together with the business practitioners interested in the recent developments concerning the forecasting foreign exchange rates with ANNs will find in this book an excellent reference."
