Consider the CNY from January 2, 2006, to December 21, 2015, with a total of 2584 observations. In this table, a hyperbolic tangent function is used as the activation function. This table compares the forecasting performance, in terms of , for the MLP, EMD-MLP, and EMD-MLP models. We report as percentage for l-day ahead predictions where and 30. Moreover, we examine the ability of all models to predict the direction of change by the DAC test [40]. , , and denote statistical significance at 1%, 5%, and 10%, respectively. For each length of prediction, we mark the maximum as bold. |
