Article Abstract:
One of the causes for lop-sided business cycles is the unevenness in the unemployment. Many factors contribute to the asymmetry in unemployment. An analysis of artificial neural network models used to forecast unemployment is provided.

Long-term sales forecasting using holt-winters and neural network methods
Article Abstract:
The problems arising in forecasting of long-term sales need to be addressed by applying suitable design. Using of Holt-Winters method and Feed forward multilayer neural networks (FMNN) to tackle such problems is explained.
