Abstract

This work presents an evolutionary solution that aims to test the influence of the choice of numeraire on financial time series modeling. In particular, the method used in such a problem is to apply a very powerful natural computing analysis tool, namely evolutionary neural networks, based on the joint evolution of the topology and the connection weights together with a novel similarity-based crossover, to a couple of very liquid financial time series expressed in their trading currency and several alternative numeraires like gold, silver, and a currency like the euro, which is intended to be stable 'by design', and compare the results.
