BackgroundICS:
The Index of Consumer Sentiment (ICS) is a consumer confidence index published monthly by the university of Michigan.
Developed from national telephone interviewOther index
CPI: consumer price index;UI: Initial claims for unemployment insurance;DJI: Dow Jones Industrial Average Index;

Data PreprocessingGet data from website of federal reserveMonthly data of: CPI, UI claim, DJI, ICSData range: Jan. 2005 to Oct. 2008Calculate the monthly change of these data

Construct modelTry different combination of input data.
Try monthly income, S&P 500, unemployment rateFinally choose, CPI 1st,2nd change, UI,DJI, ICS
Try different configuration of networkDifferent spread of the radio basic functionTry MLP with back-propagation trainingCompare with multivariable linear regressionFinally choose RBN

Testing Result
Notes:1.MSE: RBF: 67.54 MVLR: 69.222.Both of them can partly approximate the target curve3.RBF perform slightly better.

Remaining Work
Future job: Improve the network and try other feather vectorMeasure the effect of each input on the output.
