Tracking federal funds target rate movements using artificial neural networks

The Federal Reserve determines federal funds target rate (FFTR), which is one of the most publicized and anticipated economic indicator in the financial world. As the decision making process is complex due to unknown functions, it has been a difficult and challenging process for the researcher to...
