6.8 APPLICATION OF ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS
• 2.Regression. A neural network can be trained to predict an output variable whose values are of numeric (,e., real or integer numbers) type.
• If a network fits well in modeling a known sequence of values, it can be used to predict future results.
• An obvious example of the regression task is stock market index predictions.
• Type of ANN obvious for this task include feedforward network (such as MLP with backpropagation leaning)and radial basis functions.
