Neural Network Models for the Blood Glucose Metabolism of a Diabetic (1999)

Volker Tresp, Thomas Briegel, John Moody

We study the application of neural networks to modeling the blood glucose metabolism of a diabetic. In particular we consider recurrent neural networks and time series convolution neural networks...

Feature Selection Based on Joint Mutual Information (1999)

Howard Hua Yang, John Moody

A feature/input selection method is proposed based on joint mutual information. The new method is better than the existing methods based on mutual information in eliminating redundancy in the inputs....

Term Structure of Interactions of Foreign Exchange Rates (1999)

John Moody, Howard Yang

this paper, we investigate the term structure of the interactions of multiple foreign exchange price movements for a set of seven major exchange rates. The techniques used include a causal...

Data Visualization and Feature Selection: New Algorithms for Nongaussian Data (1999)

Howard Hua Yang, John Moody

Data visualization and feature selection methods are proposed based on the joint mutual information and ICA. The visualization methods can find many good 2-D projections for high dimensional data...

A Smoothing Regularizer for Feedforward and Recurrent Neural Networks (1996)

Lizhong Wu, John Moody

We derive a smoothing regularizer for dynamic network models by requiring robustness in prediction performance to perturbations of the training data. The regularizer can be viewed as a generalization...

Improved Estimates For The Rescaled Range And Hurst Exponents (1996)

John Moody, L. Wu, Lizhong Wu

Rescaled Range R=S analysis and Hurst Exponents are widely used as measures of long-term memory structures in stochastic processes. Our empirical studies show, however, that these statistics can...

Feedback Control of Petri Nets Based on Place Invariants (1996)

Katerina Yamalidou, John Moody, Michael Lemmon, Panos Antsaklis
