Artificial neural networks and fuzzy systems, have gradually established themselves as a popular too] in approximating complicated nonlinear systems and time series forecasting. This paper investigates the hypothesis that the nonlinear mathematical models of multilayer perceptron and radial basis function neural networks and the Takagi-Sugeno(TS) fuzzy system are able to provide a more accurate out-of-sample forecast than the traditional auto regressive moving average (ARMA) and ARMA generalized auto regressive conditional heteroskedasticity (ARMA-GARCH) linear models. Using series of Brazilian exchange rate (R$/US$) returns with 15 min, 60 min and 120 min, daily and weekly basis, the one-step-ahead forecast performance is compared. Results indicate that forecast performance is strongly related to the series' frequency and the forecasting evaluation shows that nonlinear models perform better than their linear counterparts. In the trade strategy based on forecasts, nonlinear models achieve higher returns when compared to a buy-and-hold strategy and to the linear models. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
