The research aims to estimate stock returns using artificial neural networks and to test the performance of the Error Back Propagation network, for its effectiveness and accuracy in predicting the returns of stocks and their potential in the field of financial markets and to rationalize investor decisions. A sample of companies listed on the Iraq Stock Exchange was selected with (38) stock for a time series spanning (120) months for the years (2010_2019). The research found that there is a weakness in the network of Error Back Propagation training and the identification of data patterns of stock returns as individual inputs feeding the network due to the high fluctuation in the rates of returns leads to variation in proportions and in different directions, negatively and positively.

The tools that are offered to investors in financial markets are fluctuating. As this fluctuation causes losses as well as earnings, it is characterised as a risk for the investor. Especially, fluctuations that may occur in globally important markets and financial instruments have great significance, not just for investor but also for the global economy. Volatility, as a measure of fluctuations taking place in markets, is often used particularly by investors and all economic actors. Therefore, in recent years, future volatility predictions have gained importance. The aim of this research is forecasting future volatility values using the historical data of S&P 500, FTSE 100 and NIKKEI 225 stock market indexes. The progress of historical volatility values in years is presented and generated univariate time series is modelled with artificial neural networks. Future forecasts are done with the obtained model and results are interpreted. Keywords: Artificial neural networks, volatility, time series analysis, stock market indexes.

The paper compares potentials and achievements of artificial neural networks and genetic algorithms in terms of forecasting and understanding of algal blooms in Lake Kasumigaura (Japan). Despite the complex and nonlinear nature of ecological data, artificial neural networks allow seven-days-ahead predictions of timing and magnitudes of algal blooms with reasonable accuracy. Genetic algorithms possess the capability to evolve, refine and hybridize numerical and linguistic models. Examples presented in the paper show that models explicitly synthesized by genetic algorithms not only perform better in seven-days-ahead predictions of algal blooms than artificial neural network models, but provide more transparency for explanation as well.

Abstract. This paper presents the reconstruction of a 73-year time series of the aerosol optical depth (AOD) at 500 nm at the subtropical high-mountain Izaña Atmospheric Observatory (IZO) located in Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain). For this purpose, we have combined AOD estimates from artificial neural networks (ANNs) from 1941 to 2001 and AOD measurements directly obtained with a Precision Filter Radiometer (PFR) between 2003 and 2013. The analysis is limited to summer months (July–August–September), when the largest aerosol load is observed at IZO (Saharan mineral dust particles). The ANN AOD time series has been comprehensively validated against coincident AOD measurements performed with a solar spectrometer Mark-I (1984–2009) and AERONET (AErosol RObotic NETwork) CIMEL photometers (2004–2009) at IZO, obtaining a rather good agreement on a daily basis: Pearson coefficient, R, of 0.97 between AERONET and ANN AOD, and 0.93 between Mark-I and ANN AOD estimates. In addition, we have analysed the long-term consistency between ANN AOD time series and long-term meteorological records identifying Saharan mineral dust events at IZO (synoptical observations and local wind records). Both analyses provide consistent results, with correlations  >  85 %. Therefore, we can conclude that the reconstructed AOD time series captures well the AOD variations and dust-laden Saharan air mass outbreaks on short-term and long-term timescales and, thus, it is suitable to be used in climate analysis.
