Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

The exam is a form of online test. Test is classified according to ECTS. The test has a score in the range of 0-20 points. A-20-19;B18-17;C16-15;D14-13;E12-10;F9-0.

To pass the exam, it is necessary to submit a seminar paper in the range of 8-12 pages with an individual focus of the student on practical issues, leading to a solution using the theory of fuzzy logic or artificial neural networks or genetic algorithms and its successful defense.

 

Aims

The aim of the course is to get acquainted with some advanced and non-standard methods of analysis and simulation techniques in economy and finance by the method of explanation of these theories, to become familiar with these theories and their use.
