We test some applications of time-series analysis in economics. The first part is consisted by applications following the traditional approach of neural networks. In the second part we propose a weighted input regression. Additionally, we present full programming routines in MATLAB in order to replicate the results and for further research applications, modifications, expansions and improvements. date: 2010-08 date_type: published number: pages: 38 id_number: 10.2139/ssrn.1667438 institution: IMT Institute for Advanced Studies Lucca official_url: http://ssrn.com/abstract=1667438 citation: Giovanis, Eleftherios Applications of Feed-Forward Neural Networks with Error Backpropagation Algorithm and Non-Linear Methods in MATLAB.
