Abstract
Forecasts are often evaluated by either quantitative precision or qualitative reliability. However, consumers purchase forecasts for the potential utility gains from utilizing the forecasts, not for their accuracy. This is analogous to household production theory where goods are purchased for their derivative consumption services. Using Monte Carlo techniques to incorporate the temporal heteroscedasticity inherent in asset returns, the expected utility of qualitative forecasts are simulated. The associated monetary values for directional forecasts of various reliability levels are then derived. The method goes beyond normal forecast evaluation and allows forecast consumers to price the information value of a set of forecasts given their own utility function and trading system.

Abstract
The USDA seven states Cattle on Feed report provides significant market information to all stages of the cattle industry. Considerable effort has been spent both by public agencies and private industry to improve on the accuracy and timing of this information. Because this information has an impact on the market, many efforts have been made to forecast it prior to its release. A key question is if a more comprehensive data set were available, could more accurate forecasts of the information in the USDA report be completed in a timely manner. This effort uses traditional time series forecasting methods to examine models using both public and private information to forecast monthly fed cattle marketings. The public information model uses data for current and past releases of the USDA seven state Cattle on Feed report. The private information model consists of daily pen level transactions for over eighty-five feedlots covering eight states. Based on physical data in the private data set describing animal placement weight and date, the expected slaughter dates of current cattle inventories are forecasted and used to project future slaughter. This projected slaughter data is then used to forecast information in the USDA report beyond the current report. Preliminary results indicate that the public model augmented with private data provides marginally improved marketing forecasts for the current period.

Abstract
Neural networks consist of highly parallel, interconnected, simple processing units. These systems differ radically from conventional computing systems; no programming is required, and knowledge is stored in the topology of the net and in the connection matrix, rather than explicitly coded in defined data structures. They offer an alternative to rule-based expert systems for developing intelligent applications. Computer algorithms allow these systems to learn from examples and generalize this learned knowledge for '''each unique situation. They provide an extremely powerful method for storing and recovering relational information in symbolic and numeric domains. Neural network software was used on weather data, Modeling corn yields allows an alternative to yield projections made by other methods, and can provide an early forecast of corn yields.
