The results indicate that the optimal parameter pair can be obtained effectively by the proposed strategy for a given in-control average running length （ARLo） and shift to detect under any conditions, removing the drawback of incompleteness existing in the tables that had been reported.展开更多

The prediction performance is measured with US interest rate data. Then, RBF and BP models are compared with Vasicek＇s model and Cox-Ingersoll-Ross （CIR） model. The comparison reveals that neural network models outperform Vasicek＇s model and CIR model, which are more precise and closer to the real market situation.展开更多
