        One of the most important goals of future study is to develop knowledge and to conceive a complicated set of possible futures and, as a result, paving the ground to create and to expand the best guidelines to face with confronting challenges. As a result, active and provocative decision making is ideal under such circumstances. Due to its normative nature and its emphasis on desired futures and considering uncertain conditions, back-casting is one of the best approaches to confront such challenges. Present study is conducted to investigate this approach on growing future study field. In this research, back-casting emergence trend, types of back-casting, steps of back-casting and its functionality are explained and this approach is contemplated. Also, forecasting and visioning methods are briefly reviewed and, ultimately, back-casting is compared with forecasting format as a contrary approach by considering a philosophical view against lack of justification, uncertainty against determinism and teleology against causality. It is also compared with visioning to open a window to conceive differences between back-casting and other techniques as guidance in using such techniques in practice Manuscript profile

        In today's competitive world, the ability to recognize predict customer demand is an important issue for the success of organizations. And since ATMs are one of the most important channels for cash distribution and one of the most fundamental criteria for assessing the level of service to banks,In this paper, the number of referrers to ATM devices is reviewed based on the timing and location of the devices. This article seeks to find a dynamic and functional model for predicting the number of referrers to each ATM depending on the time and location of the device. Hence, 378 ATM machines were used throughout the city of Tehran for a time period of one month, containing 69,418 records. Finally, with the help of clustering of statistical data in spatial and temporal dimensions, this model finally succeeds in learning the pattern in the macro data, and based on the decision tree, the predictor can predict the number of referents to each device, which after the algorithm is presented. In order to improve the quality of banking services and improve the performance of the ATM network, it is proposed to combine the optimal location of ATMs in spatial and temporal dimensions.

        Financial market forecasting particularly stock market forecasting is a considerable debate that confront to forecast failure and model break down when structural breaks in trends occur.  This paper discusses the modeling to predict stock return under structural breaks and investigate new approaches of forecasting in this condition. This study proposes a taxonomy for research area in forecasting under structural breaks to suggest further studies. We use literature survey as methodology of the research and categorizes the methods, models, and results of the recent researches in stock market forecasting. Consequently, it provides three categories of strategies to forecast stock return under structural breaks. First strategy, called economically motivated model restrictions, uses financial theories as signs to adjust the parameters of models in out-sample periods. Second strategy, known as regime shift, uses a Markov chain transition matrix to model structural breaks in time series. Third strategy applies mix of quantitative models and qualitative surveys to predict future of financial markets. The proposed strategies are applicable in Tehran stock exchange under uncertainty conditions. Manuscript profile

        Liquidity management is one of the most important functions of financialmanagement in economic firms. In the case of financial and creditinstitutions especially banks, it has a more important role. Banks requireto maintain a portion of their assets in the form of cash in order to be ableto respond to their customer’s needs. However, it has an opportunity costfor the bank. In other words, keeping cash in current accounts ormaintaining it by Central Bank or other banks decreases the risk of bankliquidity while it deprives banks of investment opportunities and declinesthe bank returns.In this study, therefore, we tried to design a model in order to forecast thecash amounts of EN-Bank kept in current accounts or maintained byCentral Bank or other banks which is totally called “Bank Liquidity”.Thus, forecast was done based on input cash flow during a specificperiod. Then by comparing this with the goals and strategies of the bank,it has been planned to eliminate the budget deficit or surplus consumptionin order to reach the equilibrium at the end of the period. In this method,current accounts, interbank accounts and funds are considered asliquidity. ARIMA and Minitab software are used in order to estimate themodel.At the end, forecast was done for the next 52 weeks by this model. As aresult, it was observed that bank will be faced surplus liquidity Manuscript profile

        The importance of predicting the price of energy carriers for the development of the economy and industry today is not overlooked. Meanwhile, predicting natural gas prices as one of the most important carriers of energy and an important role in providing clean energy can be considered as an important tool in industrial development decision making. In this paper, we have investigated the nonlinear behavior of natural gas prices in a multi-year period, as well we have introduced methods for the development and synthesis of fractalization (FDGM) has been used to predict the price of natural gas. The results of the price forecast based on the introduced methods, Indicates the effectiveness of these methods. At the same time, given the fractal nature of the price of natural gas in the period under review, the results show that the forecast error using the FDGM method is always below 7%. And very good results were obtained using combination fractional and fractional methods. Manuscript profile

        Specifying the governing process of stock market’s return with the goal of making optimal decisions and reducing the risk cost has a great importance for investors and policy makers. The importance of market analysis on one hand and the effort for comprehending the markets on the other hand resulted in that, after the assumptions of efficient market were challenged and universal financial facts such as “fat tails” and “volatility clustering” were discovered, analysts leaned toward multifractaly and Lévy models and moved away from models with random characteristics and normal distribution. This caused multifractal models to be used in different segments of the market. In this article the multifractal approach that in recent years has been used for forecasting and modeling volatility, will be examined. In the beginning the origin of this approach that stems from turbulent flows in statistic physic will be introduced and in the following sections the details about the specifications and features of multifractal time series models, available approaches for estimating them and empirical uses of this model will be mentioned. The results of this research show that the dynamic nature of capital market has caused the approaches, methods and models of market analysis to be permanently changing. In addition, for volatility clustering of time series, smaller scales are considered. Manuscript profile

        Current study compares forecasting capability of GARCH (1,1) against Geometric Brownian Motion, GBM, model for daily volatility of indices. The question is to study whether accuracy of GBM forecast differ significantly from its comparing model. Our data consists of 5.5 years (2015 – 2019) of daily logarithmic returns from 38 sector indices within Tehran Stock Exchange. The data was split into estimation period (5 years of daily data) and forecast period (daily data of the remaining 6 months). The competing models were estimated using maximum likelihood method and based on moving window approach, in which the length of estimating period was kept fixed, and projections were conducted on a daily basis. Root Mean Square Error, RMSE, approach was employed to measure forecasting error of each model. The one with less error will express more capability in forecasting daily volatility. With only three instances of a precise forecast, GARCH showed a relatively worse performance, in comparison to GBM.. Manuscript profile

        By the fact that most of the public and private sector financing comes from the country's banking sector, It is important to maintain stability and prevent a crisis in the banking system. The purpose of this study is to identify the banking crisis using the Banking Stress Index in the Iranian economy for the period of 1398-1388. The Banking Stress Index is the best benchmark for assessing the banking crisis that reflects uncertainty, instability and financial friction in the banking system. In this study, the design of a bank stress index was performed using a dynamic factor model. This model is estimated by the maximum likelihood method and the stochastic pattern of missing data. Using six variables determining the banking crisis in the country, two banking stress indices with two different natures have been estimated in time series to examine the stability of the banking system. Finally, both indices of stress showed estimation; there is a precise timing of the coincidence between the greatest amounts of bank stress and the shocks to the Iranian economy. It was also concluded that bank stress indicators reflect the effects of external factors, including sanctions on the banking system fundamental weaknesses of the banking system, as well as being able to predict banking crises Manuscript profile

        In this paper we compare a set of different standard GARCH models with a group ofMarkov Regime-Switching GARCH (MRS-GARCH) in terms of their ability to forecastthe petroleum futures markets volatility at horizons that range from one day to onemonth. To take into account the excessive persistence usually found in GARCH modelsthat implies too smooth and too high volatility forecasts, MRS-GARCH models, wherethe parameters are allowed to switch between a low and a high volatility regime, areanalyzed. Both gaussian and fat-tailed conditional distributions for the residuals areassumed, and the degrees of freedom can also be state-dependent to capture possibletime-varying kurtosis. The forecasting performances of the competing models areevaluated with statistical loss functions. Under statistical losses, we use both tests ofequal predictive ability of the Diebold-Mariano-type and test of superior predictiveability, such as White􀀀s Reality Check and Hansen􀀀s SPA test. The empirical analysisdemonstrates that MRS-GARCH models do really outperform all standard GARCHmodels in forecasting volatility at shorter horizons according to a broad set of statisticalloss functions. At longer horizons standard asymmetric GARCH models fare the best.All this tests reject the presence of a better model than the MRS-GARCH-t in thisresearch Manuscript profile

Methods of time series analysis and nonlinear methods such as neural network models as long as are used to forecast such variables . GDP's time series is variable that after the decomposition, with wavelet - a powerful tool for processing data- and analyzing the hidden layers, at some levels, has linear behavior and at other levels, has nonlinear behavior.Therefore, the proposed method would be thus that the time series of quarterly GDP for the period 1367 to 1389 using wavelet techniques are decomposed into different scale components. Next, the approximation level (trend) and cycles with linear behavior have predicted with ARIMA model, and cycles with the nonlinear behavior have predicted with neural network model.The results show that the performance of the proposed method is better than the neural network (NARNET) and ARIMA models.

        The ARIMA model is a precise forecasting model for short time periods, but the limitation of a large amount of historical data is required. However, in our society, due to uncertainty and rapid development of new technology, we usually have to forecast future situations using little data in a short span of time. The historical data must be less than what the ARIMA model employs which limits its application. The fuzzy regression is able to forecast model which is suitable for the uncertain condition and with little attainable historical data. But the results of this model cannot be encouraging because the spread is wide in some cases. The researchers do try to combine the advantages of the fuzzy regression and ARIMA models to formulate the FARIMA model and to overcome the limitations of the fuzzy regression and ARIMA model. Therefore, in this study, a synthetic fuzzy auto regressive integrated moving average (FARIMA) is employed to forecast crude oil price. The findings show that the proposed method can get more satisfactory results. Manuscript profile

        Introduction: Coronavirus disease 2019 is a respiratory disease caused by acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2. Forecasting the number of new cases and deaths during todays can be a useful step in predicting the costs and facilities needed in the future. This study aims to modeling, comparing the performance of models, and predict new cases and deaths efficiently in the future. Methods: In this article nine popular forecasting techniques are tested on the data of Covid-19 in Bahabad city as a case study. Using the evaluation criteria of mean square error (MSE), root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and the mean absolute percentage of error (MAPE) of the models are compared.  Results: The results of the analysis showed that the best model according to the evaluation criteria for forecasting cumulative cases of hospitalization of Covid-19 is the cubic spline smoothing model, and cumulative cases of death, KNN regression model. Also, autoregressive neural network and theta models for hospitalization cases, and for death cases, autoregressive neural network model has the worst performance among other models. Conclusion: This study can provide a proper understanding of the spread of covid-19 disease in this region so that by taking precautionary measures and formulating appropriate policies, this epidemic can be effectively overcome. Also, unlike other studies, this study uses 9 different techniques and their comparison, which in turn increases the confidence factor in decision making. Also, an important point is that the data should be updated in real time. Manuscript profile

        Earnings is one of the important and essential components of financial statementsthat is of particular interest to financial statements users. The information which isissued with a company and as a results earnings , is based on past events but investorsneed information about firm’s future. Firm’s Managements who have enoughinformation and resource, hasten the efficiency of financial market by earningsforecast . Prior researches has indicated that managements forecasts have effect onstock price, stock markets liquidity and analysts forecasts . On the other hand, theaccuracy or error of predicted earnings is affected by size, age , structure of companyand etc . Also it’s confirmed that managements psychological bias has impact ontheir forecasts . further empirical researches show that accounting policies areconservative and become more conservative from thirty past years (Watts,2003).Basu(1997) and following him found evidence of accounting conservatismdevelopment. Li(2007), also, find that in times of growth in investment, accountingconservatism leads to a downward bias in reported earnings and net assets. In thispaper, we examine the effect of accounting conservatism on management earningsforecasting error. Empirical findings are according to a sample from 88 companies ofTehran stock exchange during the period of 1998-2008 support our hypotheses. Inother words companies which have more conservative policy have less earningsforecasting error . Manuscript profile

        Prediction of total cost of water helps the Isfahan municipality to optimize thewater usage in its 14 urban zone. The total cost of water, basically, depends ondifferent parameters. Generally, the analytically prediction of the total cost is verydifficult if not impossible. Thus, applying intelligent systems such as neural networkmodels can be a good alternative. In this paper, using multi-layer perceptron neuralnetwork and error back propagation algorithm, the total cost of municipal water in theIsfahan municipality is calculated based on parameters such as per capita populationand area of each urban zone. In this paper, a model for simulation and prediction ofthe annual total cost of water in Isfahan municipality is developed. The simulationmodel is developed using the regression and the neural network model is built usingdata from 2004 to 2009. Finally, the neural network method is selected as the mainsimulation method for forecasting the total cost of water in the 14 urban zones ofIsfahan. Manuscript profile

        Background and Objectives: Drought is regarded as a serious threat for people and environment. As a result, finding some indices to forecast the drought is an important issue that needs to be addressed urgently. The appropriate and flexible index for drought classification is the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI). Artificial intelligence models were commonly used to forecast SPI time series. These models are based on auto regressive property. So, they are not able to monitor the seasonal and long-term patterns in time series. In this study, the Wavelet-Support Vector Machine (WSVM) approach was used for the drought forecasting through employing SPI. Method: In this way, the SPI time series of Urmia Lake watershed was decomposed to multiple frequent time series by wavelet transform; then, these time series were imposed as input data to the Support Vector Machine (SVM) model to forecast the drought. Findings: The results showed that, the maximum value of R2 and minimum value of RMSE indexes for SVM model are 0.865 and 0.237 and for WSVM model are 0.954 and 0.056 respectively in verification step. Discussion and Conclusion: So, the propounded hybrid model has superior ability in forecasting SPI time series comparing with the single SVM model and also it can accurately assess the extreme data in SPI time series by considering the seasonality effects. Finally, it was concluded that, the proposed hybrid model is relatively more appropriate than classical autoregressive models such as ANN.   Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: The temporal variability of local winds of Sistan during the period of global warming is the subject of this research. In recent decades, global warming has brought about tangible changes in the temperature of the planet and has influenced other atmospheric parameters such as wind speed. Method: In the study of atmospheric parameters, estimating the effect of global warming on these parameters is important. For this purpose, variations in the Sistan wind speeds and sea level pressure in the study area under the conditions of the two scenarios A2 and B2 from the output of the global Hadcm3 model were downscaled and for three periods of 30 years up to 2099, the changes in these two parameters were generated and examined. Findings: The results showed that the average wind speed calculated by scenario B2 for the period 2010-2039, 2040-2069 and 2070-2070 respectively 0.67, 0.88 and 1.15 m / s Relative to the Basic course will increase. Also, the average wind speed variation under A2 scenario Conditions, which is a pessimistic scenario, is 1.36 and 1. 57 and 1.79 m / s for the periods 2039-2039 and 2069-2070 and 2070-2070 Also, the pressure calculated by scenario B2 for the period 2010-2039, 2040-2069, and 2070-2070 will be reduced to 0.04, 0.10, and 0.16, respectively, compared to the base period. Discussion and Conclusions:  The results showed that the decline in pressure and increase in wind speed has not been uniformly distributed throughout the year. However, during the winter and spring and summer, pressure drop is more regular than the autumn season. Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Accurate information about the river flow significantly influences the water resources management for the communities that use the water. In this regard, this study aims to present a reliable prediction of the monthly discharge of Shahpour River, inflow to Raees-Ali Delvari Dam, located in the Boushehr Province, Iran. Methods: To forecast the monthly inflow to Raees-Ali Delvari Dam, the artificial intelligence models, i.e. artificial neural network (ANN) and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), were applied. Also, uncertainty determination of the both models was carried out in order to improve the application of their results in the management decisions in the water sector. In this regard, the simulated results of the models, tuned with the different pattern of calibration data, were used. Two indices, i.e. the width of confidence band (d-factor) and the values bracketed by 95 percent prediction uncertainties (95PPU) were applied in order to evaluate the models’ uncertainty.  Findings: Results of tuned ANN and ANFIS models indicated that although the both models had the appropriate values of determination coefficient (R2) and mean absolute error (MAE), their performance was along with considerable errors in the high extreme values. Besides, a look at through the uncertainty results of the models indicated the ANFIS model, that included the less d-factor and higher 95PPU values, had less uncertainty than the ANN. Discussion and Conclusion: Considering the same performance of the both ANN and ANFIS models in the calibration and test steps, it can be concluded that the ANFIS model was the best selection for monthly inflow prediction into Raees-Ali Delvari Dam due to its less uncertainty that ANN model.

        Background and Objective: Environmental pollution modeling is one of the essential requirements in the field of air quality monitoring which with using the output of the model, improvement of future situation can be possible. The existing literature of the modeling of environmental pollution –especially air pollutants- could be divided to two whole categories. First, those researches that in addition of pollutants data, they used some factors such as temperature, wind direction, wind speed and humidity. The second one –which this study belong to- with using time series regression models and by usage of the existing data about each pollutant, the future situation was forecasted. Method: In this study, we forecast future pollutants (CO,PM10,NO2,SO2,O3,PM2.5) status with ARIMA, ARFIMA and ARIMA-GARCH models with Box-Jenkins approach, then the best model is determined with MSE, RMSE, MAE and MAPE. Findings: Results indicate that the assumption of existence of long-memory is acceptable but the hypothesis that always ARFIMA models prepare the best forecast is rejected. Discussion and Conclusion: This study proves the application of econometric models to predict the pollutants state. Based on the high social costs of pollutant emissions, it is recommended that using these models, identify the pollutants affecting the future of the city and reduce the level of their dissemination of efficiency plans.   Manuscript profile

        Iran insurance industry has recently faced with various problems regarding fluctuations in profitability, portfolio composition, the rate of loss, the rate of penetration, retention and satisfaction of insurers and market share, due to presence of numerous insurance companies in the competitive market. As a result, insurer maintenance has become a major goal for most of the insurance companies. Since in the insurance industry, like many other industries, the cost of searching for new insurers is far more expensive than retaining the current insurers, it is essential to identify the factors that drive insurers to churn. The purpose of this study is to investigate the literature and research background in the field of customer churn, which ultimately leads to identifying and classifying “influential factors in predicting customer churn in the insurance industry”. A systematic literature review method is used to collect and review previous studies by integrating automated and manual search strategies of all the related research articles in this field, published for the period 1389 to 1398 for Persian articles and 2010 to 2018 for English articles. The research findings identified 85 factors that affect customer churn, specifically in the insurance industry. They are classified into four categories; the factors related to the insurer, the factors related to the insuree, product/service related factors and factors regarding the relationship between the insurer and the insuree.

        Due to the importance of predicting economic variables, different models have been created to predict the future values of variables. In fact, economic models can be tested by checking the level of forecasting accuracy. The main purpose of this study is prediction of Iran interbank offered rate and Iran treasury exchange rate as interest rates indicators for facilitating interest rate risk management. Two econometric models including ARFIMA and ARIMA have been used for forecasting. Thus, the ARFIMA model considering long-term memory and the ARIMA model without considering long-term memory have been considered. The evaluation of the prediction accuracy of the two models using the monthly Iran interbank offered rates data and also the monthly Iran treasury exchange rates data shows that both the interbank offered rates data and the Islamic treasury bond rates data, ARIMA model has a better performance compared to ARFIMA model in predicting data.

        Determination and prediction of housing price in urban areas plays a significant role for governments, public and private enterprises, and financial evaluators. An accurate estimation of the housing price can be employed for future planning and decision making in many urban and regional policies. However, the growth of the housing sector has a profound impact on gross national product, resulting in a significant increase in employment. On the other hand, an increase in loan for purchasing house leads to a rise in liquidity and inflation rate. This means that the gap between the income and housing price is increased. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new models for making decisions in order to prevent the increase in the inflation rate and housing price. According to the key importance of housing price, a number of models have been developed to formulate the price behavior with regard to its effective components. In this study, a novel model based on the ARIMA method for forecasting and formulating the housing price has been developed. The results show that the model proposed has a high potential (with a determination coefficient of 99.7%) to foresee the housing prices in the city of Tehran. Manuscript profile

        This study (for the first time) examined the way investment managers of mutual funds invest, by using questionnaire method. Respondents to the questionnaire are investment managers of mutual funds in Iran. The investment managers are asked to determine the use of each of methods such as technical & fundamental analysis, Modern Portfolio Theory, bulletins, confidential information and market rumors, for market forecasting and selecting assets properly and timely. The research statistic population includes investment managers of active mutual funds in Iran. Questionnaires were sent to all of them, and 40 percent of the questionnaires were returned. The findings of this study show that investment managers always pay most of their attention to fundamental analyses and then published bulletins; they rarely use technical analysis indicators (especially in the long term) and Modern Portfolio Theory (especially in the short term). Also investment managers are reluctant to use confidential information and market rumors in any time intervals. Manuscript profile

        During the recent years extensive researches have been done on fuzzy time series. In many of these studies, universe of discourse and relevant intervals have been determined based on levels of price or data; in this study a new type of universe of discourse is established based on rate of return concept in financial markets.  Another point that has a significant effect on the performance of fuzzy time series models is the length of intervals, therefore doing research in this area became an interesting topic for time series researchers, there are some studies on this issue but their results are not good enough. So we propose a novel simulated annealing heuristic algorithm that is used to promote the accuracy of forecasting. The experimental results show that proposed model (RBFTS) is more accurate than existing models on forecasting Alabama university enrollments data. At the final step, Tehran’s bourse price index (TEPIX) is used as a case study for forecasting. The obtained results indicate a good forecasting performance on this test problem. Manuscript profile

        Forecasting financial markets is an important issue in finance area and research studies. Importance of forecasting on one hand and its complexity, on the other hand, researchers have done much work in this area and proposed many methods. In this research, we propose a hybrid model include wavelet transform, ARMA-EGARCH and NN for day-ahead forecasting of stock market price in different markets. At first WT is used to decompose and reconstruct time series into detailed and approximated parts. And then we used ARMA-EGARCH and NN models respectively for forecasting details and approximate series. In this model we used technical index by approximate part to the improvement of our NN model. Finally, we combine prediction of each model together. For validation, proposed model compare with ANN, ARIMA-GARCH and ARIMA-ANN models for forecasting stocks price in UA and Iran markets. Our results indicate that proposed model has better performance than others model in both markets.       Manuscript profile

        Nowadays modeling and forecasting of land use changes by application of satellite images can be a very useful tool for describing relations between natural environment and human activities to help planners to make decisions in complicated conditions. There are various methods for forecasting of land uses and coverage, in which the Markov chain model is one of them. In this research, land use changes in Bartash plain in Dehloran which is located in Ilam province in the area of 135244 hectares in 3 time periods (1988, 2001 and 2013) of landSat satellite images, providing land use map in 6 classes (low density forest, medium-dense grassland, poor grassland, agricultural, alluvium sediments and non-vegetated lands) by application of  Kohonens neural network and also Markov anticipation model and Land change modeler (LCM) approach was predicted for the year 2030. The classification results showed the rate of demolition and a reduction of the area of low density forests and medium grassland land uses and increase in area of other land uses. Reduction of low density forest and the medium grassland area and increasing growth of other land uses demonstrated the overall destruction in the region and replaced with poorer land uses. At the end, by application of the Markov chain model and LCM modeling approach, land use changes were a forecasted for the year 2030. The results of changes anticipation matrix based on maps of years 2001 and 2013 showed that it is likely that in the period of 2013-2030, 45% of low density forest, 71% of medium grassland, 96% of poor grassland, 81% of agricultural lands, 93% alluvialvium sediments and 100% of non-vegetated lands remain changeless; non-vegetated lands have the most stability and low density forest have the least stability.

        Background and ObjectiveRapid urban expansion along with population growth, has significantly amplified the production of municipal solid waste (MSW) in recent years. Despite the importance of burying solid waste as one of the most efficient ways in waste management cycle, its basic standards have been neglected in many parts of Iran. Recently, the Geographic Information System (GIS) has been recognized as a suitable tool in landfill site selection studies. In addition, Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) has been introduced as a well-known technique to investigate complex decision-making issues such as landfill selection, and the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is one of the well-known methods of MCDM.  In general, landfill siting based on GIS has two main screening steps including first, removing unsuitable land areas and then ranking remaining areas. Additionally, waste landfill siting mainly depends on information availability related to population characteristics. In this way, it is needed to forecast population in the future. Qazvin as a province in the central part of Iran, is facing a population growth in the recent decade. Comparing the population in 2011 and 2016, it showed an increase of about 1.17 percent of average annual growth in Qazvin's population. Therefore, with regard to the increasing population in this newly established province, it is considered critical to conduct a landfill site selection procedure. To achieve the aim, the present research intended to establish a landfill site regarding environmental factors and using integrated GIS-AHP approach which incorporated into the population forecasting in Qazvin province.Materials and Methods The present study was conducted in three main steps include; initial waste Landfill siting using Multi-Criteria Evaluation (MCE), determination of the required landfill area based on population forecasting up to 2046 and final locating of waste landfills using Single Objective Land Allocation (SOLA) in TerrSet software. In the first step, the initial Landfill siting was conducted by the integrated GIS-AHP approach during the process of identifying and selecting the criteria, weighting the criteria, standardizing the criteria and finally integrating the criteria with the Weighted Linear Combination (WLC) method. In the second step, the area required for waste disposal sites was estimated based on population growth rate, per capita waste generation (kg per day) and average groundwater depth. In order to forecast the population growth up to 2046, reports of Iran's Plan and Budget Organization was used.  In the third step, the final sitting of the municipal solid waste was determined with a SOLA in TerrSet software. The initial suitability map was entered into the model as the base input. Also, the estimated area from the second step. In this study, two scenarios were implemented.  In the first scenario, in order to select the appropriate locations, the condition of having the highest value of the map was applied, and in the second scenario, in addition to the mentioned condition, the need to have a 10 km buffer for each of the selected options was considered.Results and Discussion According to the expert's opinions and environmental standards, seven ecological and socio-economic criteria were suggested that each criterion consists of several sub-criteria. Then by implementing the AHP method on the experts’ judgment, the final weight of each criterion and sub-criterion was obtained. After preparing the GIS layers, each of the invoice layers was standardized according to the functions in the fuzzy membership tool and was classified with a range of numbers from 0 to 255. The results showed that in the study area the combination of AHP and GIS for landfill siting is significantly compatible with field observations. GIS is a very powerful tool that could provide a quick assessment of the study area to determine the appropriate location for landfill. The selection of criteria was one of the most important steps in this research. The environmental factors should be considered along with economic factors in choosing a landfill site. Therefore, the eight main criteria of distance from the road, elevation, slope, distance from residential areas, distance from surface waters, distance from protected areas, geology, hydrology and land use were used in their research. The criteria were divided into three parts; morphological, environmental and socio-economic. In this research, in addition to the mentioned criteria, various natural and human parameters such as distance from energy transmission lines, distance from industrial towns and railways, etc. were also used to double the comprehensiveness of the present study. By integrating standardized GIS layers with WLC method, the initial map indicating the distribution of suitability of different sites to waste disposal location in Qazvin province was prepared. By implementing the AHP method into each criterion and combining in GIS, the waste disposal areas in the study area were classified into four classes. According to this classification, the initial map was divided into very good, appropriate, inappropriate and very poor areas.  According to the initial suitability map, the cities of Takestan, Abik and Buin Zahra, with an area of 50.15, 14.55 and 54.48 km2, respectively, had a good condition for landfill location. The suitable places for landfill were the flat territories near the urban and had the advantage of the appropriate access path. Then, using land use allocation algorithm, the best landfill site was identified in two scenarios and three location options for each scenario. In the first scenario, the maximum map value was applied to select the location options. In the second scenario, in addition to the mentioned condition, a 10 km buffer was considered for each location option. Finally, site number one of the first and second scenarios and site number three of the second scenario were identified as priorities. Site number one was selected in the range of Buin Zahra city and near the village of Elahabad. While site number three was located 15 km away from the waste management department of Qazvin city and near the Zinabad village.Conclusion It should be noted that not only the final location of municipal solid waste landfills has not been determined in recent years, but also a comprehensive program in the field of reducing waste production and implementation of waste separation plans from the source in the studied cities has not been implemented.Formation of a future forecasting section on the organizational structure of landfill waste management systems can not only reduce environmental risks but also bring sustainability to economic and social resources.

        Background and ObjectiveToday, land use change in many countries has become an important challenge that has many effects on the environment. Accordingly, the study of land use change at different scales is one of the important issues in the proper management of natural resources and environmental change at various levels. Therefore, being aware of land use changes and investigating their causes and factors in several time periods, and predicting land use changes in the future can be properly planned to reduce adverse effects, which has been considered by planners and city managers. They help in land use planning. Also, converting land uses to each other and changing the use of vegetation is known as an important issue. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to monitor and predict land use changes and land cover in Abbasabad urban area in the future; Using these changes, appropriate management measures can be taken to preserve and rehabilitate lands. Materials and Methods A combination of an automated cell model and Markov chain in the Abbasabad urban area was used to predict land use change; The relevant images were taken from the TM and OLI sensors of the Landsat 8 and 5 satellites at the USGS site. Four user classes, including zone class built with code number 1, vegetation class with code number 2, water resources class with code number 3, and barren land class with code number 4, were separated for Abbasabad urban area. Obtained USGS. In order to extract land use classes, after checking several methods, object-oriented classification method and support vector machine (SVM) algorithm were used due to better efficiency. Evaluation of Babian satellite imagery classification The overall accuracy and kappa coefficient were performed for three periods of time. Each of these classified maps was evaluated by drawing an error matrix. 250 sample points were used to prepare this matrix. The type of sampling was stratified sampling. Also, to determine land use changes in 2030, classified maps were used and with the help of TerrSet software, changes made in classes and their percentages were obtained, and using the CA-MARKOV model, changes of different classes based on matrices. The possibility of transfer was predicted. Results and Discussion The results during 1997, 2006, and 2017 show that the constructed area has an increasing trend and the uses of vegetation, barren lands, and water resources have a decreasing trend and 23279 hectares of lands in the region are built area dedicated. The kappa coefficient calculated for 1997, 2006, and 2017 is 0.86, 0.89, and 0.89, respectively. Markov chain forecasting model with 85% accuracy stated that the trend of land use change for 2030 will be the same as in previous years, and this indicates that the conversion and change of land uses will proceed as before, and it is necessary to mention this point that the identical uses of vegetation to vegetation cover the largest area during the years 2006 to 2017, and this shows that in this area, vegetation is still stable and has undergone less changes. Conclusion The output of the 13-year forecast map for 2030 in this study indicates the appropriate accuracy of the CA-MARKOV model. In addition, this output shows that this method can be trusted for short-term planning. These forecast maps can be a good guide for managers and urban planners. To achieve better results, it is recommended to use a combination of automated cell model and Markov chain to monitor and predict changes nationwide. The results of this study, in addition to helping to reduce the volume of input data, but also in the processing of classified images and in predicting them for the future. Manuscript profile

        The economic growth of any country has a lot to do with the infrastructure of the electrical energy supply chain and the ability to access it at low cost. Increasing the resilience of the electric energy supply chain in order to be able to respond to the real time demand of high-consumption and strategic consumers is a challenge that will not be possible without considering long-term demand forecasting and integrated development planning of this chain. This paper presents a long-term demand forecasting approach in the electrical energy supply chain of Isfahan's Espidan iron stone industries. This approach is a combination of wavelet transform, long short-term memory (LSTM) network and finally integrating the results with data-mining technique based on machine learning. The company studied in this research is one of the main suppliers of raw materials in the supply chain of basic metal production industries and one of the ten energy-intensive industries in the electrical energy supply chain of Isfahan province. The only information available from this company is the daily time series signal of the historical electrical energy demand of this industry in a period of 40 months. The data in the studied time series is interrupted so that only 50% of the data has a value and the remaining 50% is zero. This lack of data and the impossibility of access to supplementary data and effective features for forecasting has reduced the density of data and the possibility of long-term demand forecasting faces more problems than continuous time series. The used statistical analysis showed that the annual and seasonal data do not follow the normal distribution and have high distortion and heterogeneity. The proposed method and its results have been compared with other available approaches. The results of 10 iterations of extreme learning machine methods show that the RELM technique with a high confidence level of 95% is more effective than other machine learning methods and has more accurate results.

        This paper addresses the absence of a suitable criterion for measuring information asymmetry between managers forecasting earnings and analysts forecasting earnings through statistical methods. Besides, this paper aims to provide a model of information asymmetry, emphasizing the role of financial and managerial criteria. This is applied qualitative and quantitative research (mixed method). The library method is used to prepare and formulate theoretical bases. In addition, the field method is used for collecting data to measure and identify indices and modeling. Factor analysis was used to analyze the data, following identifying the dimensions and variables of financial and managerial criteria of information symmetry to eliminate extraneous factors and classify. The following five main dimensions were determined, including corporate profit forecast, corporate governance, capital market, capital return, and management characteristics of the company. Then, the modeling was done using fuzzy mathematics through triangular numbers, Mamdani implication, and center of gravity methods. The final results of the study of the company listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange show that the level of information symmetry in the range of zero to 100 equals 55.1, to predict the company's profit is 48.54; corporate governance is 56.95; the capital market is 1/59; capital return is 61.07, and managerial characteristics of the company are 67.84. Finally, we examined the factors affecting the information asymmetry obtained from fuzzy neural networks. The findings show a higher prediction accuracy of fuzzy neural network methods than other related prediction methods. Manuscript profile

        Bullwhip effect that occurs in the chain, leads to inefficiencies such as excess inventory and overdue orders during the chain. These problems can be reduced by appropriate predictions. Forecasting must be done in all levels of a supply chain. This paper addresses the problem of optimal combination of forecasting to reduce the bullwhip effect in the four-level supply chain. For this purpose, a four-level supply chain is considered. One of the methods such as moving average, exponential smoothing, linear regression and multilayer perceptron artificial neural network can be considered for predicting in each level. First, the desired supply chain is simulated for this means. The different combinations of aforementioned forecasting methods are calculated. Then a combination of forecasting methods according to minimized bullwhip effects is selected. Finally, the results are analyzed by variance analysis model. Two combinations have the lowest bullwhip effects. Moving average, neural networks, exponential smoothing and linear regression for levels: retailer, wholesaler, manufacturer and supplier respectively as an answer and the other is: moving averages, exponential smoothing, neural network and linear regression in the same mentioned levels and other combinations have less utility.

        Today, the rapid growth of the world's urban population, especially in developing countries, hascreated many problems in various fields. Among these, land-use change is of great importance.Modeling and predicting future land-use changes has become increasingly important for urban andenvironmental management and other relevant authorities and researchers. The main purpose of thisstudy is to apply cellular automata (CA) Markov models based on spatial information system tosimulate and predict land-use change. Landsat satellite imagery was prepared during the three periodsof late June 1986, 2001, and 2016. Then land use maps of the study area were obtained by classifyingthe maps. The model derived from the CA Markov was implemented to predict and process and toanalyze land-use changes by 2031. Forecast results showed that from 2016 to 2031, green space, urbanresidential land use increased and the agricultural and open land use declined. This study will generallyshow the decline in open land and agriculture and the expansion of residential and urban areas in 2031,which was caused by the loss of agricultural land and vegetation. The region's economy, based onagricultural and livestock production will face the current productivity situation in 2031. Manuscript profile

        Exchange rates always have a high priority and attractiveness in society, especially among companies. Different methods are used to predict the exchange rate, among which structural methods as methods of fundamental analysis, a little precision in advance. They have an accurate forecast of the exchange rate, but they are very useful as a long-term perspective and illuminate the movement of the exchange rate. Technical compensation can be used to compensate for the shortcomings of these methods. Using futures research techniques, in addition to covering the study gap of futures research techniques in forecasting exchange rates, errors due to quantitative methods have been minimized so that companies are prepared for the occurrence of various situations. In the final part of the article, the effect of currency fluctuations on the performance indicators of the tobacco company during the last three years is examined. The results of the study indicate that currency fluctuations have the first and greatest impact on the implementation of development projects and also sudden economic shocks are not immediately reflected in the performance of companies and due to the presence of shock absorbers such as inventory in Warehousing, borrowing purchases and long-term debt creation, over time, gradually affect and weaken the company's performance.

        One of the key aspects in the financial markets and its development is fluctuation. Fluctuation plays a key role in option pricing, portfolio management and the market sentiment. In general, financial institutions are faced with four various kinds of risk, which are credit risk, liquidity risk, operational risk, and market risk. The most appropriate method to measure the market risk is by using the VaR (value at risk). Value at Risk is statistical technique used to measure and quantify the level of financial risk within the investment portfolio over a specific time frame. It is always expressed by the monetary amount that is at risk as well as the probability of loss. This research is to predict the VaR for a one-day period in six different industries in which three companies are monitored in each industry. The time periods of the study are 30-minute intervals between 91/11/1 to 92/4/1,  in which the GARCH model is used for predicting the variance. The research then checks to see whether the data fits the normal or t-distributions models. Thus, six models are used for six different industries. All six chosen models are deemed proper to predict the coefficients, how fit the coefficients are, and Watson statistic camera. The estimation of the variance and the Var for all models is done at a %95 confidence interval. The research concludes that the companies involved in the basic metals group are more prone to risk and have higher VaR in comparison to other industries. Manuscript profile

        Urban Transportation Planning (UTP) has been one of the most important decisions in urban planning and development procedures in recent years. Meanwhile, accurate trip forecasting between two given regions of the city could be considered as the key success factor of urban transportation planning. Due to the importance of the problem, different models have been developed in the field. The overall problem of trip forecasting and transportation planning could be complicated because of its nature that results from the complicated nature of human behavior. Due to the complexity of the problem, it is always hard to develop forecasting models with acceptable forecasting errors and also low computational expenses particularly in developing countries in which historical data are not fully available.  In this paper, a three phase fuzzy model is proposed to forecast trips flow between two given regions of a metropolitan based on mapping demographical and social variables to total number of trips flow. The overall model is to explore the subjective pattern of transportation experts and transfer the subjective model to a mathematical framework.   Manuscript profile

        Productivity forecasting is a key factor in strategy planning in an organization. Artificial neural networks method is one of the productivity estimating methods whose users must have enough experience and skill because of its adjustable parameters. Trial and Error is mostly used to find the proper levels of these parameters. This article presents a seven step pattern for selecting proper adjustable parameters for neural network, using Taguchi experiment design method to improve the efficiency of productivity forecasting. As a result, the optimum parameters levels that lead to the most desirable forecasting in neural network are as follows: the number of hidden layers: 2 layers, the number of neurons in each hidden layer: 7 neurons, learning rate: 0.9 and the number of neural network inputs:  productivity indicators with more than 0.85 degree of correlation. Among the above mentioned factors, the number of hidden layers with 71.18% of contribution rate in experiment results is the most important factor in neural network design to forecast the productivity of Iranian food industry. Finally, the overall results of the study showed that using this pattern provides the possibility of choosing competitive strategies besides decreasing forecasting time and cost. Moreover, this pattern helps decision makers with the extent of the consideration that must be put into each adjustable parameter by determining the contribution rate of each parameter in the experiment results.

        Forecasting has always been recognized as an important issue in financial markets and is considered a unique factor in estimating future unknown values. The aim of this research is to identify and forecast the conditions of the Tehran Stock Exchange(TSE) and the factors affecting them, focusing on the correlation between market prosperity and value at risk. To achieve this, in the first step of this study, the time series of the value at risk index on the capital market TSE was estimated using daily data and the first-order GARCH method from spring 2010 to June 2023. Then, the factors influencing prosperity in TSE were evaluated based on seasonal data from spring 2010 to June 2023 using the probit regression approach. In addition, value at risk index was calculated seasonally and the relationship between the probability of market prosperity and the value at risk index was examined using correlation coefficients.The research results show that the probability of market prosperity in the Iranian capital market has a significant negative relationship with the bank interest rate, liquidity growth and the occurrence of sanctions. There is also a significant positive relationship with the inflation rate and the growth of the exchange rate. Furthermore, the correlation analysis shows that market prosperity is directly related to equity value at risk. Assuming stable conditions, the research suggests that the probability of a prosperity market in the next three seasons is significantly higher than the occurrence of a recession. Manuscript profile

        Electrical load forecasting is the prediction of future demands based on various data and factors containing different consumptions on weekdays, electricity prices and weather conditions that are different for societies and places. Generally, medium-term electrical load forecasting is often used for the operation of thermal and hydropower plants, optimal time planning for maintenance of power plants and the power grids. However, long-term electrical load forecasting is used to manage on-time future demands and generation, transmission and distribution expansion planning. In this paper, a hybrid long-term load forecasting approach using wavelet transform and an outlier robust extreme learning machine is proposed. Hourly load and temperature data were extracted from the GEFCOM 2014 database and divided into two classes of training and test. The one-level wavelet transform is used to decompose data to extract properties and reduce the dimensions of the data matrix. Decomposed low-frequency component (approximations) and high-frequency component values (details) from wavelet analysis are entered into the model for training and forecasting. For comparison accuracy of the proposed method, wavelet transform is applied to the data for the other three extreme learning machines. Also data without wavelet transform entered into four other forecasting models and the load forecasting results are compared with the proposed method. The results of the above mentioned evaluation show that electrical load forecasting by using wavelet transform and outlier robust extreme learning machine improves forecasting accuracy and the MAPE reduces to 3.0966. The overall calculated error by the proposed method was the best result obtained between the three several models of extreme learning machines and without preprocessing model. The MAPE is 0.4208 less than the ELM, 0.944 less than the RELM, and 0.1353 less than the WRELM model, respectively. Manuscript profile

        Nowadays, saving time and economy of each country requires proper planning, decision making, and rational forecasts in different areas. One of the most well-known areas that has received a lot of attention is electricity forecasting. The features of the electricity which makes it distinguished from other commodities are the impossibility of storing it and the existence of seasonality and nonlinear and ambiguity pattern in electricity data set. These features of the electricity makes it more difficult to forecast using traditional methods. Therefore, in this paper, a parallel optimal hybrid model using seasonal linear and nonlinear methods is proposed to forecast the electricity load forecasting. The main idea of this model is the use of the advantages of individual models in the modeling of complex systems in a structure, simultaneously. Experimental results indicate that in this method due to the use of a direct weighting method, the computational cost of modeling it is significantly lower than other parallel hybrid methods.

        Espidan ironstone industries is one of the most consumed power industries in the electricity supply chain of Isfahan province as the second industrial hub of the country and one of the main suppliers of raw materials in the supply chain of the country's steel industry. Planning in a large-scale electricity supply chain, in a space full of uncertainty, is begin with electricity demand forecasting.In this paper, a hybrid long-term demand forecasting method in the electricity supply chain of Isfahan's ironstone industries using a combined data mining method including wavelet transform,deep learning and intensive learning machine is proposed. The used data in this study is according to the recorded information from the electrical energy demand signal of Espidan ironstone industries in a period of 40 months in the form of 24-hours. The data in a part of the study period due to the lack of production of this industry in some hours are interrupted. So that only 40% of the data had a value and the remaining, 60% were zero. This subject led to information deficiencies and increases the forecasting error up to 40% in the first step of the proposed algorithm. By completing the first step of the proposed model with intense learning machine (ELM) the forecasting error is reduced and it was possible to create an improved forecasting model for supervised training. Finally, simulation results are compared with other available approaches such as support vector machine and decision tree. The results show the improvement and reduction of error and a significant increase in the accuracy of the proposed method in long-term demand forecasting in the electricity supply chain of Espidan ironstone industries.

        Estimation of daily load in distribution companies which is performed to present the results to the DMS, is necessary. Daily load forecasting of power systems has traditionally been considered. Because load patterns are influenced by several factors such as climate, economy and society, it is difficult to predict the load exactly. That's why in recent years the use of intelligent algorithms to predict it, is growing. In this project, the short-term load forecasting is performed in a hybrid approach. Due to the different behavior in different days, various methods have been used to predict the load. With studying different methods of load prediction, finally, finally exponential smoothing algorithm was used to predict the exact load in the weekdays. Manuscript profile

        The increasing demand for rice in Ghana has been a major concern to the government and other stakeholders. Recent concerns by the coalition for African Rice Development (CARD) to double rice production within ten years in Sub-Saharan countries have triggered the to implement strategies to boost rice production in the government. To fulfill this requirement, there is a need to monitor and forecast trends of rice production in the country. This study employs the Box-Jenkins approach to model milled rice production using time series data from 1960 to 2010. The analysis revealed that ARIMA (2, 1, 0) was the best model for forecasting milled rice production. Although, a ten years forecast with the model shows an increasing trend in production, the forecast value at 2015 (283.16 thousand metric tons) was not good enough to compare with the current production of Nigeria (2700 thousand metric tons), the leading producer of rice of rice in West Africa.

        Extended Abstract Throughout history, predicting price in financial markets has always been of high interest to financial activists and analysts. Recently, various methods have been proposed and adopted to predict the dynamism of financial markets using time series of records of prices. However, high-precision predication of financial prices is still a deemed long-term challenge that constantly call for state-of-the-art approaches. Purpose Thus, the purpose of the current study was to examine the efficacy of optimal stopping, also known as early stopping and use its connection with branching processes to predict the optimal buying and selling prices in several financial markets. gold ounce market and S&P 500 index have been predicted in short term and long-term frameworks on the basis of fixed horizon. And for each. frame work, different time frames have been selected. Closing price data from 1995 to 2022 have been used for every time frame. Methodology Advanced methods for optimal stopping include approximating the value function and then using that approximation in a policy. Although such policies can work very well, they are generally not guaranteed to be interpretable (Siokan and Mišić 2020). On the other hand, some researchers have proposed that the optimal stop models are too complicated to solve well and the strategies of buying at a low price and selling at a high price are not very practical in this theory (Liu and Mo 2022). According to the issues raised, the researcher intends to use the optimal stop theory and its connection with branch processes to implement and examine this theory in a number of prominent international financial markets. In this research, we are going to use the optimal stop statistical theory to predict the time of buying and selling in these markets in an optimal way. Finding The optimal stopping algorithm seeks to determine the maximum value from a set of random variables that are exhibited in the order they are generated. Each variable should either be selected when exhibited or be skipped in favor of the next variable, and if all the variables till the nth variable are skipped, this variable is selected automatically. It should be borne in mind that the theory of optimal stopping first examines the previous data and finds out whether there is a divergence, according to which it determines which market cannot be predicted based on this theory. In general, these random variables are considered as independent and co-distributed. Yet, due to the complexity of this theory, even in this case, solving problems directly proves to be very difficult, and hence the correlation between this theory and branch processes are employed to simplify solution. The steps of this process are as follows: Step 1 The analyst finds the planning horizon (20 - horizon in the present paper) Step 2 Determine the statistical distribution of values using statistical tests, including the goodness of fit, chi-square, Chebyshev's inequality, and Q-Qplot (Moud et al. 1973) Step 3 Transforming it to a normal distribution using Box-Cox Transformations (Cox-Box 1964), and converting to the standard normal distribution (minus mean value divided by standard deviation) (Moud et al. 1973) Step 4 Using inverse distribution function (using probability integral transform theorem) (Moud et al. 1973) and transforming it to considered distribution in branching process and determining convergency or divergence of data (Ross 1983; Shishebor et al. 2004) Step 5 Predicting the best point for optimal buy or sell at a determined horizon (Assaf et al. 2000) Step 6 Reversing all transforms and predicting real values (Assaf et al. 2000) Conclusion The results indicate that by optimal stopping for short term framework, S&P 500 index indicates %67 success and gold ounce shows %53 success in the prediction of prices. In long term framework, S&P 500 index's success equals to %68 and gold ounce equals to %85 in prediction of prices. The obtained results show that the optimal stop theory has performed better in predicting the gold price in the long-term time frame and the S&P 500 in the short-term time frame. The S&P 500 market and the gold market have obtained the most predictability based on the optimal stop theory. This can be confirmed by market traders because the S&P 500 and gold market are interesting markets from a technical and trading point of view. The number of transactions and high liquidity and the difference in spread and commission in these two markets compared to other markets can be indicative of this. Also, the high volatility in the two mentioned markets due to the uncertainty regarding the continuation of prices and key economic indicators presents countless opportunities to traders. According to the obtained results, the optimal stopping can be used as a trading and analytical indicator. Also, the characteristic of optimal stopping is that based on historical data, it shows the prediction as the optimal point (buying and selling price) in the future. Due to the fact that examining the financial markets both from the study and analytical point of view and from the trading point of view by using a variety of forecasting patterns and indicators requires understanding the possibilities of market behavior, choosing a time frame and having a strategy.

        Abstract Integrated financial reporting provides investors with a comprehensive understanding and insight into the company and reduces the costs of obtaining information, processing, facilitating and combining relevant and effective information, and ultimately raising stock price awareness, improving information quality and facilitating more efficient capital allocation. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between integrated financial reporting with earnings forecasting bias and stock price awareness. The statistical population of this research is all companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange and 167 companies in the period 1391 to 1399 have been selected by systematic elimination method. Also, to test the research hypotheses, a multivariate regression model based on composite data was used. The results of the first hypothesis indicate that there is a direct and significant relationship between integrated financial reporting and behavioral financial bias in stock price forecasting. The results of testing the second hypothesis showed that there is a direct and significant relationship between integrated financial reporting and accuracy of profit forecasting. Integrated financial reporting with disclosure of financial and non-financial information from the financial reporting process and corporate activity makes investors and analysts more accurate forecasts. The results of testing the third hypothesis showed that there is a direct and significant relationship between integrated financial reporting and stock price awareness. He said that by combining financial and non-financial information, the process of creating value for the company in the form of financial reporting makes the information content of stock prices informative and investors in stocks make optimal decisions according to rational investment theory.

        Investing in the capital market requires deciding on issues such as selection, timing, price and share buybacks with market research. One of the ways to do this is to use econometric modelers. In the studies performed to compare methods or to present hybrid models, most econometric models have been studied without comparing and predicting the error of prediction error of other algorithms. In this research, the most efficient algorithm for solving this defect is implemented and compared with the proposed methods on selected shares and based on the proposed parameters.On the other hand, often the order of the regression and the mean of the moving average sentence are considered for the finite number of studies, which is based on Bayesian criteria for determining the p and q degrees to obtain the optimal response. This paper compares the methods of self-regressive moving average, cumulative self-regressive moving average, self-regulated seasonal moving average, self-regressive moving average with explanatory variable, cumulative mean self-regression with explanatory variable, self-regression model with variance. Generalized conditional, exponential self-regression model with generalized conditional heterogeneity variance and regression model with moving average self-regression errors for selected symbols of Tehran Stock Exchange.

In this regard, macroeconomics variables and parallel markets indices have been used to forecast the stock returns. Initially, estimating various models such as Recursive models, time-varying parameter models (TVP), dynamic model selection (DMS) and dynamic model averaging (DMA) in Matlab software, It was observed that DMS model with α = β = 0.95 had higher forecast accuracy (based on MAFE, MSFE and Log (PL) metrics). Gold price (48-period), exchange rate (36-period) and inflation rate (30-period) had the highest effect on stock returns, respectively, and global oil prices and GDP had the lowest effect by 28 and 2, respectively. Finally, the results indicate that utilizing dynamic models by considering time variations in parameters and the variation of the model increases the efficiency of forecasting stock returns.

        Given the development of machine learning models in predicting financial data in recent years, this study introduces a combination of Deep Learning Network and selected GARCH family models to predict short-term daily returns of the Tehran Stock Exchange Index. The most important feature of the deep learning network is that it can adapt and adjust itself to the volatility of market variables without being limited to specific models. In this study, short-term and long-term memory based neural network (RNN-LSTM) models are used for deep learning network models and GARCH and EGARCH models are used in its structure. Also, the two independent variables of oil price and dollar rate in the structure of the hybrid model help to predict the financial data more accurately. Comparison of the results of hybrid model prediction error with individual models shows that the RNN-LSTM-EGARCH hybrid model has higher prediction accuracy than competing models. competing models.

        In recent years, in the financial literature, more attention has been paid to the level of cash holding of companies. So; Forecasting is important to determine the optimal level of cash holding. In this research, using linear and non-linear methods and 13 influential input variables, the amount of cash in 103 companies admitted to the Iran Stock Exchange during the years 2013 to 2021 has been predicted. The methods used include multiple linear regression (MLR), k nearest neighbor (KNN), support vector machine (SVM) and multi-layer neural networks (MLNN) for prediction. The results show that the traditional method of multiple linear regression has not been successful in predicting cash, but machine learning algorithms have been superior with an accuracy of 0.99. The variables of profit per share, the ratio of current assets to current liabilities and the ratio of short-term debt to total assets have had a greater impact in all algorithms. Therefore, managers can use advanced machine learning algorithms to predict the future cash flow of companies. Manuscript profile

        Risk forecasting for future periods plays an important role in making the right decisions of managers and financial activists to invest in companies and institutions. On the other hand wrong decisions of commercial managers can have undesirable consequences for their organizations. Therefore the most important issues for investors is forecasting risk in future periods. The importance of this issue was caused us to forecast Value at Risk (VaR) in one step ahead by using the exponential smoothing family for two normal and t-student distributions with confidence levels of 95%, 97.5% and also 99% in this research. Previously the classic method is commonly used to forecast future periods of VaR, but in this research the family of exponential smoothing models is used, which process data by considering trend and doing so online monitoring. In order to validate the model, the proposed model has been compared with the classic method by using backtesting. The results confirms the more accurate forecasting of proposed method in normal distribution with confidence levels of 97.5%, and 99% and also in t-student distribution with confidence levels of 97.5%, 99%.

        This paper compares three models of the GARCH family to investigate the volatility dynamics of gold Price returns. Nowadays, GARCH-type models have been extensively used in modeling the volatility process of various asset price returns. Gold plays a critical role as a hedge against adverse market conditions. An accurate understanding about the gold volatility is important for the financial assets pricing, risk management, portfolio selection hedging strategies and value-at-risk policies. In this study, we use Iranian gold returns data from March 25, 2003 to December 25, 2015 and employ the GARCH(1,1), IGARCH(1,1) and FIGARCH(1,d,1) specifications. The research findings show that the FIGARCH is the best model to capture dependence in the conditional variance of the gold returns. Moreover, we examine the long memory behavior in the volatility of gold returns. According to the estimation results, the long memory parameter is positive and statistically significant. Consequently, long memory is an important characteristic of the gold volatility returns and should be taken into consideration in investment decisions. Also, the out-of-sample evaluation criteria (MAE, RMSE and TIC) select the FIGARCH(1,d,1) as the best forecasting model of gold volatility. Manuscript profile

        One of the most important issues of financial markets is the prediction of price and stock returns. In this paper, we try to find the best model and stock price prediction approach based on the mean square error (MSE), root-mean-square error (RMSE), R-squared, standard deviation (SD), Mean absolute error and the mean absolute percent error (MAPE) for the Fama and French five-factor model. For this purpose, after the formation of a portfolio based on the Fama and French model during the period from 2009 to 2017, stock price is estimated by econometric model, neural network and Fuzzy Neural Networks, so the accuracy of each approach was compared. The results of the prediction the efficiency of the generated portfolios show that the prediction accuracy of the radial base function network (RBF) is very high compared to other ARMA models and other neural networks.

        Given the importance of the role of human resources in organizations, strategic planning for achieving the optimum number of human resources in an organization is vital. The purpose of this research is to present a model for simulating and predicting team performance in industrial management teams in order to identify human-resource performance and improve human-resource management strategies. The factors that influence team performance are identified and extracted from previous studies, and then the timing of each task is examined in three scenarios, i.e. optimistic, probabilistic and Web-based, by identifying the processes that influence team performance. Model inputs are the number of students, the number of faculty, and the number of experts. Based on related studies, team performance outputs are three categories: The number of books, articles and theses; the desirability of team members; and the number of tasks completed, rejected, needed to revise or waiting in queue. The simulation was performed using Any Logic software. The results show that the desirability of the group manager and the training expert have the highest values in most scenarios and the number of tasks in the execution queue has a significant value in all scenarios. In some cases it is essential that new policies be adopted to improve HRM strategies in the industrial management department. Manuscript profile
