Eddie for Financial Forecasting

  • Chapter

Abstract

EDDIE is a genetic-programming based system for channelling expert knowledge into forecasting. FGP-2 is an implementation of EDDIE for financial forecasting. The novelty of FGP-2 is that, as a forecasting tool, it provides the user with a handle for tuning the precision against the rate of missing opportunities. This allows the user to pick investment opportunities with greater confidence.
