        The main criterion in investment decisions is to maximize the investors utility. Traditional capital asset pricing models cannot be used when asset returns do not follow a normal distribution. For this reason, we use capital asset pricing model with independent and identically asymmetric power distributed (CAPM-IIAPD) and capital asset pricing model with asymmetric independent and identically asymmetric exponential power distributed with two tail parameters(CAPM-AIEPD) to estimate return and risk. When the assumption of normality is violated, the first and second moments lose their efficiency in optimization and we need to use the third and fourth moments. For the first time, we propose independent and identically asymmetric exponential power distributed with two tail parameters. Then, we use higher moments optimization with unequal weights to optimize portfolios. The results indicate that capital asset pricing model with independent and identically asymmetric power distributed (CAPM-IIAPD) is better than asymmetric independent and identically asymmetric exponential power distributed with two tail parameters(CAPM-AIEPD) to estimate return and risk. Adjusted Sharp ratio in portfolio optimization in second moments are higher than others. Adjusted returns to risk in third and fourth moments in the CAPM-IIAPD model significantly differ from the CAPM-AIEPD model and have a better performance. Manuscript profile

        The issue of asset pricing in the market is one of the most important and old issues in the financial world. Factor pricing models seek to be able to determine a significant relationship between return on assets based on the risk parameters of that asset. A wide range of factors can be found in the literature that can be an element for measuring the risk of an asset, but the big question is which of these models will work better. The factors studied in this research include factors that cover market risk, valuation risk, psychological (technical) market risk, profit quality risk, profitability, investment, etc. In this study, we have tried to Using machine learning techniques and optimization tools is a way to derive adaptive-robust nonlinear models that can reduce the risk of model error as much as possible. In this research, two models have been developed. In the first model, using the feature extraction technique and optimization of models based on neural network, a non-linear and adaptable model has been developed for each asset. In the second approach, a portfolio of improved neural network-based models is used in the first stage, which can be used to minimize the risk of model error and achieve a model that is resistant to different market conditions. Finally, it can be seen that the development of these models can significantly improve the risk of error and average error of the model compared to traditional CAPM approaches and the Fama and French three-factor model.
