Forecasting performances of feed-forward and recurrent neural networks (NN) trained with different learning algorithms are analyzed compared using the Mackey-Glass nonlinear chaotic time series. This system is a known benchmark test whose elements hard to predict. Multi-layer Perceptron NN was chosen as network because it still most commonly used in financial forecasting models. It modified version so-called Dynamic characterized dynamic neuron model, i.e., Auto Regressive Moving Average...
