abstract = "Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) is one of many
inflation-targeting central banks. The effective
conduct of monetary policy requires the capacity to
make accurate short and medium term predictions about
price inflation. The RBNZ's prediction system is very
complex, requiring many iterations and significant
input from human experts. This paper investigates the
capability of Genetic Programming (GP) to predict price
inflation over short and medium terms. By using
un-preprocessed economic time series over small
intervals, the experimental results demonstrate that GP
can produce predictions of price inflation with
accuracy comparable to the RBNZ's official prediction
system, over both short and medium terms.",
