Contains functions to facilitate automatic time series modelling with neural networks. Allows fully automatic, semi-manual or fully manual specification of networks. For details of the specification methodology see: (i) Crone and Kourentzes (2010) <doi:10.1016/j.neucom.2010.01.017>; and (ii) Kourentzes et al. (2014) <doi:10.1016/j.eswa.2013.12.011>.
