The purpose of the study was to employ an ANN models to predict the direction of the Istanbul Stock Exchange National 100 Indices (ISE National-100). As a result of this study, the model forecast the direction of the ISE National-100 to an accuracy of 74, 51%.}, journal = {International Journal of Economics and Management Engineering}, volume = {2}, number = {10}, year = {2008}, pages = {1063 - 1066}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/11383}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/22}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 22, 2008}, }
