We compute point and associated interval estimates under classical and Bayesian approaches. For point estimates in the problem of estimation, we compute maximum likelihood estimators of model using Expectation-Maximization (EM) and Stochastic Expectation-Maximization (SEM) algorithms under classical approach, these algorithms are easily implemented. We compute Bayes estimates with the help of Lindley and importance sampling technique under informative and non-informative priors using different loss functions namely squared error, LINEX as well as general entropy in Bayesian framework. The associated interval estimates are obtained using the Fisher information matrix and Chen and Shao method respectively under classical and Bayesian approaches. We analysis real data set, and conduct Monte Carlo simulation study for the comparison of various proposed methods. Finally, we present a conclusion. Manuscript profile -

In calculating the efficiency score of unitsthrough DEA we may come up with some efficient units. But the question is among theseefficient units which of them is better. As we know, it is possible to rank inefficient unitsthrough efficiency score; however, for ranking efficient units it is not helpful and othermethods should be developed in these regards. To obviate this problem there have been somany attempts in the literature which have their pros and cons. Cross-efficiency method wasfirst introduced by Sexon et al. for ranking efficient units. The major problem of this methodis alternative optimal solutions in each model which must be solved for each DMU. Anotherproblem of this method is dependency of obtained solutions on the solution obtained by otherunits. Another method which has widely been used is super efficiency, presented byAnderson and Petersen. There are several flaws in their suggested method. Infeasibility,instability, dependency of the model on the input and output orientation and non-zero slackvariables are the weaknesses of this method which may occur in specific problems. Thisarticle is an attempt to present a method which does not have the aforementioned problemsand can be utilized to calculate the rank of extreme efficient units through using the Hit orMiss Monte Carlo method. At the end of the article some examples are made in order to showthe efficiency of the presented method. Manuscript profile -

In the financial literature, a significant amount of empirical studies have been done on the characteristics of financial assets returns and researchers have found a set of stylized facts about this subject. In this regard leptokurtic, left-skewed, weak autocorrelation, volatility clustering, and heteroscedasticity can be mentioned. Any estimation of risk without considering these characteristics or using unrealistic assumptions about financial assets returns increases the probability of failure in the risk management process. For this purpose, at first, the marginal distributions of returns are obtained using extreme value theory (EVT). Concerning characteristics of financial assets returns and also the primary filter to apply EVT, we use heteroscedasticity models for the marginal distributions of assets. Then the structure of the dependence between different stocks is estimated by using C-Vine, D-Vine, and R-Vine pair copula models. Afterward, the VaR of portfolio is estimated using the Monte Carlo simulation method. The final results show that the model with GARCH marginal distribution and R-Vine pair copula has been able to achieve the best performance among rival models at 95% confidence level.

If all payments pay, the holder will be able to exercise the option at maturity time. However, the installment option will be terminated even if one installment is not paid. This study is divided into two sections. First, the importance of installment option is studied; the relationship between installment option and Venture Capital is explained; and it is studied how BLS model is failed to evaluate the installment option. As the exact evaluation of installment option is extremely complicated and usually intractable, Monte Carlo simulation and Least Squares (LS) have been applied to evaluate installment option. Second, the three optimum values, function type, number of base variables and number of simulated path, as important factors on this method are calculated. So, numerical valuation converges to exact solution. Manuscript profile -

In this article, VC projects have been evaluated by using Real Options and Installment Option. In order to doing that, the lower and upper bounds based on “No-Arbitrage” condition are obtained for pricing installment option in both discrete and continuous time. These bounds have been used for pricing Venture Capital projects. With simulation of stock price by Monte Carlo, they have been compared with DTS bounds (the bounds obtained by other authors). Results reveal the bounds in the present study are more effective than DTS bounds. For more confidence, the Bounds have been compared with Monte Carlo simulation based on Least Square approach (we have changed that approach to be used in the evaluation of Installment Option); as expected, they have confirmed each other.

Real o MoreDynamic and complicated circumstances of economic activities, and consequently increase in risks require an efficient analytical method of investment and financing decision making in which does not suffer from traditional methods shortcoming such as stationarity. Real option analysis developed in response to this requirement.This paper provides a framework to study advantage of using real option theory in evaluating power generation projects in comparison to traditional methods. First, it uses abandon option and its different real option pricing methods, then compares to traditional methods. To compare traditional and real option methods, it uses Monte Carlo simulation.The results show that real option pricing methods do not differ significantly, because when time steps increase, option value increases and all methods converge. Monte Carlo simulation results show that in real option methods risk decreases and return increases in comparison to traditional methods. Manuscript profile -

Uncertainty of activities and time required to complete each project activity, requires the project manager to use techniques appropriate to the specific nature of the project under review. In this paper, by describing the probabilistic project of constructing a model airplane according to the probabilistic conditions, a suitable algorithm based on Gert method and Monte Carlo simulation is presented in such a way that as a result the project manager can analyze the basic components from the output of the algorithm and estimate random variables such as the expected time of project completion and the average cost of completing project activities and extract the desired results to better manage and control the project. In order to provide a better understanding of the proposed algorithm, the results of using the algorithm to plan and manage the model aircraft construction project will be reviewed and explained and As a result, the expected time and cost of the project is extracted within a 95% confidence interval.

In this regard, the Tehran Stock Exchange (TEPIX) index was used as a representative of market portfolios and daily data for the period 13/10/2009-12/11/2019. In this study, first, the results of estimating the value at risk using two models of exponentially weighted Moving Average (EWMA) and Monte Carlo simulation (MC) are presented. The performance tests of these models are then compared with other models including GARCH and historical simulation models. The estimation results of these models were obtained using Eviews 10 and Matlab 2018 software. The results show that the exponential moving average (EWMA) model is more efficient and more accurate than other models. The results also show that based on violation ratio and Back Tests, non-parametric models such as Monte Carlo simulation have overestimated the value at risk . Manuscript profile -

Due to wide MoreProduced power of wind, solar, run of the river, ocean thermal, tidal and wave power plants is respectively, dependent on wind velocity, sun radiation, river flow, temperature of ocean upstream, period & height of waves, tidal level or tidal stream velocity. Due to wide change in these quantities, produced power of these renewable resources changes a lot over time. As the penetration level of renewable resources in electric network is increased, reliability and other aspects of electric network may be affected that should be studied. Analytical method is not suitable to study uncertainties of output power of renewable resources in reliability analysis of electric network with these renewable power plants. Thus, the current research suggests Monte Carlo simulation method to study effect of renewable power plants on reliability indices. Renewable power plants studied in the research are wind turbines, solar farms, wave energy converters, run of the river power plants, both types of tidal units, and ocean thermal energy conversion systems. Numerical studies are performed on test electric networks, to study these renewable resources impact on reliability indices of electric networks with renewable power plants. It is concluded from numerical outcomes that these renewable power plants improve reliability performance of electric network. However, due to the variation of renewable resources, the impact of renewable power plants on reliability performance of the electric network is less than the conventional units with the same capacity.

For this purpose, the Copula function approach is used. A Copula function is a new tool that increases the accuracy of the calculation of this probability. Gaussian Copulas cannot simulate the dependence between the members of the portfolio. For this reason, the T- Copula method has been used as an alternative model in this paper. The T-Copula pattern, in contrast to the normal Copula method, supports the extreme dependence between variables. The structure of a multivariate distribution t is the ratio of a multivariate normal distribution on the second root of a Chi-square random variable. If the denominator of the distribution chooses values close to zero, then the corresponding vector coordinates of the random variables are distributed t , Can record large joint movements. The Chi-square random variable plays "common shock" roles. The present study, using the hidden variables method, has calculated the probable unpredictability of loss for a heterogeneous portfolio of given facilities consisting of 250 borrowers. For this purpose, based on the type of borrowed loans, borrowers are divided into three groups. Using the Monte Carlo simulation method, the probability of a loss in this portfolio is estimated, then the residue levels in each group of agents and the total amount of exposure are calculated. The findings showed that, considering the degree of freedom 2 for the distribution of the student's t-test related to the vector of hidden variables, the maximum probability of loss of credit portfolio Has been 11.01.
