These comparisons are performed by considering the type of series whether or not stationary. Different combination techniques are applied to improve the forecasts. It is observed that the combination forecasts based on nonstationary vector autoregressive (VAR) and artificial neural network (ANN) models are better than the ones generated by other models. Furthermore, the forecast values combined with ANN technique produce lower root mean square errors (RMSE) than the other combination techniques.40 leaves, tablesEnglishinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArtificial Neural NetworkInflationForecastTime SeriesHC492 .U23 2001Economic forecasting--Turkey--Mathematical models.Econometrics.Time-series analysis.Neural networks (Computer sciences).Inflation (Finance)--Turkey.Thesis
