Using browsers to run forecasting algorithms is a challenge, since language support and performance varies across implementations of the JavaScript virtual machine and vendor. However, their use will provide a boost in the number of platforms available for scientists. jsEvRBF is written in JavaScript, so that it can be easily delivered to and executed by any device containing a web-browser just accessing an URL. The experiments show the results yielded by the algorithm over a data set related to currencies exchange. Best results achieved can be effectively compared against previous results in literature, though robustness of the new algorithm has to be improved.}, year = {2016}, pages = {35-42}, publisher = {Springer International Publishing}, address = {Cham}, isbn = {978-3-319-40111-9}, }
