Consider the CNY from January 2, 2006, to December 21, 2015, with a total of 2584 observations. For training the neural network models, three-fourths of the observations are randomly assigned to the training dataset and the remainder is used as the testing dataset. This table compares the forecasting performance, in terms of the NMSE, for the MLP, EMD-MLP, and EMD-MLP models. We report the NMSE as percentage for l-day ahead predictions where and 30. The DM test [38] is used to compare the forecast accuracy of EMD-MLP (EMD-MLP) model and the corresponding MLP model. , , and denote statistical significance at 1%, 5%, and 10%, respectively. For each length of prediction, we mark the minimum NMSE as bold. |
