Frequently Asked Questions - AztekTrading Forecaster Standard

1. What is a neural network?
   A neural network is an information processing structure which is inspired by the way the mammalian brain processes information.
   Neural networks are given a set of data and learn to guess the right output. Typically neural networks are very good at recognizing patterns.
   Within AztecTrading products the neural networks are trained on a set of past data to forecast future data.
   
   
2. What is a genetic algorithm?
   Genetic Algorithms (GA) are a method of "breeding" computer programs and solutions to optimization or search problems by means of simulated evolution. Processes loosely based on natural selection, crossover, and mutation are repeatedly applied to a population of binary strings which represent potential solutions. Over time, the number of above-average individuals increases, and better fit individuals are created, until a good solution to the problem at hand is found. Within AztekTradingTrading products a genetic algorithm is used to train the neural network.
