Chaos and Order in the Capital Markets: A New View of Cycles, Prices, and Market Volatility, with Disks by Edgar E. Peters, ISBN 0471139386

Presenting new analytical techniques, as well as reexamining methods that have been in use for the past forty years, Chaos and Order offers a thorough examination of chaos theory and fractals as applied to investments and economics. This new edition includes timely examples from today's markets and descriptions of cutting-edge technologies - genetic algorithms, wavelets, complexity theory - and hot innovations, such as fuzzy logic and artificial intelligence. Beyond the history of current capital market theory, Chaos and Order covers the crucial characteristics of fractals, the analysis of fractal time series through rescaled range analysis (R/S), the specifics of fractal statistics, and the definition and analysis of chaotic systems. It offers an in-depth exploration of random walks and efficient markets - the development of the efficient market hypothesis (EMH) and modern portfolio theory; the linear paradigm - why it has failed; nonlinear dynamic systems - phase space, the Henon Map...

Nonlinear Dynamics and Statistical Theories for Basic Geophysical Flows

Building Neural Networks: ACM Press by David M. Skapura, ISBN 0201539217

This practical introduction describes the kinds of real-world problems neural network technology can solve. Surveying a range of neural-network applications, the book demonstrates the construction operation of artificial neural systems. Through numerous examples, the author explains the process of building neural-network applications that utilize recent connectionist developments, and conveys an understanding both of the potential, and the limitations, of different network models. Examples are described in enough detail for you to assimilate the information and then to use the accumulated experience of others to create your own applications. These examples are deliberately restricted to those that can be easily understood, and recreated, by any reader, even the novice practitioner. In some cases, the author describes alternative approaches to the same application, to allow you to compare and contrast their advantages and disadvantages. Organized by application areas, rather than by specific... Building Neural Networks: ACM Press by David M. Skapura, ISBN 0201539217
