non-linear association between the conditional quantiles of a dependent variable
& predictors. - • NN-based forecasting model can be used in order to indicate possible
downside or
upside moves in the market, form appropriate market timing strategies and assess
the evaluation of risk measures like volatility risk, VaR or loss risk etc.
