“…These include expert systems based on self-organising maps ( Jagric, Bojnec, & Jagric, 2015 ), neural network models ( Celik & Karatepe, 2007;Iturriaga & Sanz, 2015;Nag & Mitra, 1999;Sevim, Oztekin, Bali, Gumus, & Guresen, 2014 ), regression trees ( Manasse & Roubini, 2009 ), binary classification trees ( Duttagupta & Cashin, 2008 ), hybrid models ( Lin, Khan, Chang, & Wang, 2008;Lin, 2009 ), grey rational analysis ( Lin & Wu, 2011 ), support vector machines ( Ahn, Oh, Kim, & Kim, 2011;Feki, Ishak, & Feki, 2012 ), random forests ( Alessi & Detken, 2014 ), and the multiple-indicator-multiple-cause method ( Rose & Spiegel, 2012 ). Comparisons between such methods have been conducted by Boyacioglu, Kara, and Baykan (2009) .…”
