        Improving the economic and business environment is the most important factor in preventing bankruptcy, therefor, Artificial intelligence uses to predict the bankruptcy of companies in the future. In this study, companies in the Tehran Stock Exchange over a period of 10 years in terms of bankruptcy localized model of Kurdistani-Tatli based on the Altman model were examined and companies were identified as bankrupt and healthy. Research data were collected, categorized and refined using secondary data extracted from financial statements and through the database of the Exchange Organization and the Central Bank.The models used to evaluate the data and predict the bankruptcy of companies are artificial intelligence models . Artificial neural network, combination of neural network and genetic algorithm and the K-nearest neighbor method has been used. They were also compared in terms of prediction accuracy. The output of the models indicates that the addition of corporate governance indicators to the financial ratios indicators has not improved the results. Therefore, financial ratios alone are sufficient for predicting and determining bankruptcy. The proposed model of this research based on accuracy is a combined model of neural network and genetic algorithm that has the highest accuracy. Genetic algorithm improves the optimal results of the neural network and provides a more optimal answer. Manuscript profile

        The distribution of capital market resources depends on the presence of market participants, and the main issue we are facing is the decision to allocate resources, the selection of suitable securities for investment, and the formation of optimal stock portfolios. The development of new techniques in operational research and financial science, along with advances in computer science and technology, has led to the emergence of models, including multi-criteria decision-making models for selecting stock portfolios.Based on the fundamental analysis of stock valuation, 18 financial ratios in 6 groups of profitability, liquidity, activity, leverage, market value, and ownership were used to evaluate 30 companies during 2011-2017. Two methods, Taxonomy and PROMETHEE, is done to rank the sample shares and compare the result. The results showed that the ranking of the Shannon- PROMETHEE entropy model in comparison with the taxonomic-factor analysis models has a better prediction of stock returns. Manuscript profile

        The price to Earnings ratio (PE) is one of the oldest and most commonly used tools for stock valuation.  Although P / E calculation is very simple, its interpretation is practically difficult. In certain circumstances, this is a very rational ratio, and at other times it is completely meaningless. Hence, investors often use this term incorrectly and in their decisions weigh too much. The important thing that can help investors analyze this ratio is to pay attention to the criteria approved by financial experts. Based on the analysis of financial ratios, there are various methods and techniques for determining the factors affecting the price / profit ratio (P / E) of stocks .One of these methods is to use the key variables of the company and its fundamental analysis .In this research, the Harmonic Cross-Innovative Algorithm (HS) has been used to examine the effective measures on the P / E ratio .For this purpose, a sample of 87 companies during the 10-year period (2006-2015) was selected from listed companies in Tehran Stock Exchange . By studying theoretical fundamentals and research background, 27 financial variables that were effective on the P / E ratio were selected. The outputs of the Harmonic Ranking algorithm showed that stock returns, P / B and P / S ratios had the highest impact and coin prices had the least effect on P / E ratios, respectively.   Manuscript profile

        Financial health is defined as capability of making  profit and the continuation of industrial entity activity. This research aims at the determination and recognition of financial components and features affecting health and presentation of a model based on Multinomial logistic Regression (MLR) approach to assess and evaluate financial health in Iran. companies in this research have been divided into three groups as to their financial health state called; healthy, intermediate and distressed.In order to test the accuracy of prediction and trath-value of the extracted model , the selected companies at every level of health were divided as symmetrical pairs in to control and experimental groups.Using Excel software 15 financial ratios were calculated in 5 states of liquidity, leverage, activity , market value and Value creation . SPSS (17) was used to test hypotheses , (ANOVA) and Kruskal-Wallis statistical variance analysis to compare the average and SD of ratios at 5% level of error. Research findings show that there is significant statistical differences among these companies according to different levels of financial health based on leverage, activity and market value ratios. But the liquidity and  Value creation  state difference of these three levels is significant and the components affecting financial health are as quick ,current , debt , the proportion of net working capital to total assets ratios, EVA and MVA.  Based on Dunnett and Tukey tests the distressed companies are the factors yielding the difference. i.e. distressed companies are statistically on one side and intermediate and healthy ones on the other side of distribution. As a resalt two models were presented, one for distressed companies and another one for intermediate and healthy ones. The test of model prediction accuracy in the experimental group at three levels of distressed , intermediate , healthy and total are subsequently 70% , 92% , 100%, 88.88% and shows 66% , 79.16% , 77.7% and 76.92% of prediction accuracy and classification in the control group.

        Financial reporting has significant attention for users. The main objective of financial reporting is to provide information to predict cash flows and  to assess the financial position.One of the tools uses to determine the company's financial position is analysis of financial ratios. Financial ratios are designed to help evaluation of  financial statements. Managing  of the company's liquidity is one of  the most important duties of senior executives and the amount and speed of rotation of the liquidity of a company makes it profitable and competitive. The main objective of this research is to explain model predictions of liquidity traps and to review the relationship between liquidity trap  with financial clinic approach in companies listed in Tehran stock exchange during the period of 2010 -2014. In this regard, four hypotheses developed by using correlation and regression analysis. The results of the research indicate that there is significant relationship of time by creating Liquidity trap between the lack of favorable efficiency,  unfavorable combination of current assets, lack of effective follow-up collection of receivables and other ill treatment cost - but it is not meaningful.    Manuscript profile

        So far, distress prediction models have been based on balanced, such sampling is not consistent with the reality of the statistical community of companies. If the data are balanced, the bias in sample selection may lead to an underestimation of typeI error and an overestimation of the typeII error of models. Although imbalanced data-based models are compatible with reality, they have a higher typeI error compared to balanced data-based models. The cost of typeI error is more important to Beneficiaries than the cost of typeII error. In this study, for reducing typeI error of imbalanced data-based models, random and clustering-based undersampling were used. Tested data included 760 companies since 2007-2007 with 4 different degrees and the results of the H1 to H3 test represented them. In all cases of the typeI error, typeII error of balanced data-based models were lower and more, respectively, compared to imbalanced data-based models; also, in most cases, the geometric mean of balanced data-based models was higher compared to imbalanced data-based models, respectively. The results of testing H4 to H6 show that in most cases, typeI error, typeII error and the geometric mean criterion of models based on modified imbalanced data were less, more, and more, respectiively compared to the models based on imbalanced data, in other words, applying Undersampling methods on imbalanced training data led to a decrease in typeI error and an increase in typeII error and geometric mean criteria.

        Stakeholders of an organization avoid undesirable outcomes caused by ignoring the risks. Various models and tools can be used to predict future outcomes, aiming to avoid the undesirable ones. Early warning models are one of the approaches that could help them in doing so. This study focuses on developing an early warning system using machine learning algorithms for predicting solvency in the insurance industry. This study analyses 23 financial ratios from Iranian general insurance companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange between 2015 and 2020. The model uses Decision Tree, Random Forest, Artificial Neural Networks, Gradient Boosting Machine and XGBoost algorithms, with Boruta as a feature selection method. The dependent variable is the solvency margin ratio, and the other 22 ratios are the independent variables, which Boruta reduces to 7 variables. Firstly, the performance of the machine learning models on two datasets, one with 22 independent variables and one with 7, is compared based on RMSE values. The XGBoost algorithm performs the best on both data sets. Additionally, the study predicts the 2020 values for 19 insurance companies, performs stage classifications, and compares actual stages to predicted stages. In this analysis, Random Forest has the best estimate accuracy on both data sets, while Gradient Boosting Machine has the best estimate accuracy on the Boruta data set. Finally, the study compares the machine learning models' results in terms of capital adequacy classification, where Random Forest performs the best on both data sets, and Gradient Boosting Machine on the Boruta data set.

        The purpose of this research is to investigate the prediction of corporate social responsibility reporting using financial ratios. To answer the research question, four prediction models of linear regression, K Nearest Neighbor, decision tree, and deep learning were investigated. Also, 61 financial ratios were used according to previous research using data related to listed and non-listed companies of Iran from the years 2012 to 2018. According to the re-sults obtained from the estimation of each of the proposed prediction mod-els, it can be stated that the k-nearest neighbor model has the lowest RMSE value, and in fact, this model predicts the amount of social responsibility with less error than other models. The linear regression model with the high-est RMSE value has a weaker performance than other models. LSTM model and decision tree respectively had the lowest RMSE value after the k-nearest neighbor model. As a result, since the LSTM model requires a large number of test sam-ples for deeper learning, it could not achieve high performance in the evaluated data set. Based on the investigations, it can be stated that the current research does not have a similar example inside or outside of Iran. Manuscript profile

        In today's world, insurance of productive capital investment and reducing economic risk causes more fundraising and therefore the greatest economic boom cycle. One way to arrive capital investment security is to predict bankruptcy of a business unit. As the Iranian power and energy stock is going to start working by 2012, providing suitable bits of advice to investors would be a priority. This paper proposes a new solution approach for bankruptcy prediction of the Iranian power and energy industries. To do so, an evolutionary algorithm premised on Learning Automata is employed and adapted to the problem. Two sets of firms related to power and energy industries that are listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE) are selected as the training and test data, respectively. The developed algorithm is conducted on both train and test data, and the efficiency of the proposed method is evaluated via several scenarios. It was practically seen in simulations that the learning automata-based algorithm could achieve an accuracy of 91% and 88% over the train and test data, respectively. Besides these, the same data sets are also conducted by other methods such as MDA and Logit, and the obtained results are compared with reality. The yielded results prove the accuracy as well as the efficiency of the proposed solution technique   Manuscript profile

        This survey has been done among companies listed in the cement industry in Tehran Stock Exchange during eight years from 1380 to1388. The paper studies the effect of the simultaneous use of financial ratios and growth rates on future stock returns which is proven unusual. The data has been collected by using the new software named: “Rahavard Novin”. The results are based on the after event method and using F and T-tests and linear regression statistical analysis. The results show that the hypothesis has not been confirmed yet. That is, the use of financial ratios and growth rates do not affect future abnormal stock returns simultaneously. Using stepwise regression test, the final model was driven. Thus, only the operational ratios do not have simultaneous effects on the use of financial ratios. Finally, the results obtained from the overall test of the research hypotheses do not confirm the simultaneous impact of the financial ratios on future abnormal stock returns. However, the items in the financial statements reflect the accrual impact of items of financial statements on the process of economic decision making, the influence of the information content of all items is not the same. In other words, liquidity ratios have the highest effect and other ratios like profitability, investment and operational ratios reportedly have high effects on the abnormal stock returns.   Manuscript profile

        Bankruptcy anticipation is a phenomenon which has been increasingly favored by investors, banks and financial and credit institutes. Since the potential signs of bankruptcy would be understood a few months before the real appearance of it, so the timely and accurate anticipation of this crisis will give the opportunity to managers and creditors in order to adopt preventable activities. The aim of this study was to explore the applicability of the Zaougin, Zmijewski and Shirata’s models. Initially, the independent variables of the two samples were investigated, using F test to review the accuracy of segregation of two bankrupted and un-bankrupted  samples and then to examine the difference in importance of independent variables models, the magnitude of cooperation in group between variables. Sample selection and suitability of variables with less error criteria and meaningful cooperation test was carried out. Data were run using two statistical difference analysis and logistic regression (in three methods, inter, forward and backward). The results indicate the accuracy of Shirata’s model at 98.6%, Zaougin’s model at 87% and Zmijewski model at 89.6% in accordance with Iran environmental conditions Manuscript profile

        The managers and the experts who give credit to the customers are the two groups for whom the financial information relavent to performance is so important. Accordingly, they consider some information like financial ratios to investigate the status of the company on the basis of which they make the appropriate decision. Analyzing the financial ratios has been done since a long time ago. In this study, at first, the importance of the different financial performance criteria was investigated by considering the ideas of the bank experts and by using the technique of AHP. After that, the ratios were put in order of priority and the four main groups were considered in order to get the ideas of the experts and the managers ofthebanks(public and private),therateofincompatibilitywas computed.It is clear that ordering in priority could be used as a suitable guide for the experts and the managers of both private and public banks, according to which they can consider the financial ratios to give credit to their customers and compare it with the ranking technique of horizontal ordering. This study was done to find the difference between the main changes of financial performance, and tried to find a sound relationship between liquidity, efficiency, investment, and profitability among the public and private banks. By using the statistical ways of computing the analysis of variance tow-way within-subjects (ANOVA), it was found that there is no difference between the general financial operations and the decision of the managers of the private and public banks of the two provinces; West Azerbaijan and East Azerbaijan. Then,By using the T-test  it was found that there is no difference between the sub financial operations (such as liquidity, profitability, efficiency and investment) that may affect the decision making process of the bank managers of the private and public banks of the two provinces;West Azerbaijan and East Azerbaijan.

To test the hypotheses of the statistical population using the middle of 4 methods MEQLDTA, MB, PPEQGMEQLD and GrowthPPE, and classified into two groups of companies with high and low investment opportunities. Hypotheses tested in OLS and ARMA methods. Then, based on the cumulative analysis of financial health factors, these variables were weighted. The results show that the variables of ROA with weight of (-7), RER with weight of (-4) and LDR with weight of (-3) were respectively effective in playing the role of deterrent from income management motivation. On the other hand, variables of LEV with weight of (+6), DLOSS with weight of (+5) and INDIR with weight of (+4) were respectively recognized as effective factors on the opportunistic behavior of income management in companies with different investment opportunities. In companies with low investment opportunities that are separated by MB method, based on the optimal value of the coefficient of determination and the negative relationship of financial health indicators, it is more likely that this group has high financial health based on the inhibition of income management’s motivation. On the other hand, the findings show that in companies with low investment opportunity separated by the Growthppe method, the opportunistic behavior of income management is more evident.

        One of the goals of financial reporting is to provide useful information to facilitate decision making. Accounting information system is one of the sources of information provision for users to decide. The use of the Dupont analysis as a tool for measuring performance dates back to the 1920s and its ability to use it to predict profitability is one of the interesting issues of financial management and investment. The present article seeks to answer the question of whether the components of the Dupont ratio, with emphasis on profit and performance management, can be used to predict operating profitability in the insurance industry. So, in order to investigate this, 14 insurance industry companies were selected as systematic sampling method. The data collected during a period of 6 years and between 2015 and 2020 are taken into account that the results of regression analysis show that the marginal changes in earnings at 99% confidence level have a significant effect on future profitability as well as performance management It can affect the profit margin through the margin of profit, and profit management (upward and downward) does not affect the profit margin on future profitability Manuscript profile

        The main goal of investors is achieving wealth and it realizes through stock return. Therefore evaluating stock return is a main matter in stock market. So providing required information to interpret firm's condition and profitability is a primary purpose of financial reporting. Accordingly financial statements and supply notes are important information resource for investors. The objective of this study is examining the value relevance of information in annual and interim financial statements to explain stock return .This research investigates the relationship between financial reports information and abnormal return by using financial ratios, firm's size and cash flow from operation. So the existence of relationship between them could be criteria for investors to anticipate interim and annual abnormal return and facilitate investing decisions. Overall, the findings show that for explaining stock return interim financial statements are more informative than annual financial statements. Manuscript profile

        AbstractOne of the proven topics in psychology is the influence of people's emotion's on the decision-making process and their judgment about future events. In such a way that when people have positive emotions, they make optimistic choices and when they have negative emotions, they make pessimistic choices. Therefore, the emotional tendencies of investors indicate the margin of optimism and pessimism of shareholders towards a share. The purpose of this study is to use financial ratios to predict the emotional tendencies of investor's. To answer the research questions, data related to 97 financial ratios belonging to companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange during the period 2006 and 2018 have been used. In order to derive effective financial ratios, the neighborhood component analysis algorithm method was used, which ultimately led to the selection of 7 ratios. To measure the emotional tendencies of investor's, four indicators of relative strength, psychological line, trading volume and stock turnover adjustment rate have been applied. Finally, we have combined these indicators with the help of PCA method. The results showed that the ratios of percentage changes in sales changes, net profit to assets and the ratio of inventory changes to sales changes have a positive and significant effect on investor's feelings.                                                                                               Manuscript profile

        Abstract Prediction and clear understanding of the behavior of a phenomenon plays a major role in adopting strategies and decisions. All-round development and deepening of the capital market as the driving engine of economic development requires the public trust of participants in its efficiency and correctness in determining the fair price of securities. On the other hand, predicting company value, price fluctuations, or stock returns is very important in portfolio selection, asset management, and even stock pricing of newly listed companies.In this research, using the data of 159 companies during a 10-year period including 2011-2020 and the factors affecting the company's value, including financial ratios, corporate governance mechanisms, macroeconomic factors, and the stock market, the company's value has been predicted. In this research, two structures of deep learning methods including GRU and BLSTM are used for better evaluation. The results of examining the data collected using deep learning techniques indicated that the combined model with a lower RMSE error than the GRU model predicted the value of the company.

        Credit risk is the probability of default of the borrower or the counterparty of the bank in fulfilling its obligations, according to the agreed terms. In other words, uncertainty about receiving future investment income is called risk, which is of great importance in banks. The purpose of this article is to estimate the credit risk of individual and corporate customers. In this study, the statistical information of 400 individual customers and7500 corporate customers was used. In this regard, the results of neural network model and support vector machine model have been compared. The obtained results have shown that the components considered in this study based on their personal, financial and economic characteristics had significant effects on the probability of customer default and credit risk calculation. Also, the results of this study showed that the application of control policies at the beginning of the repayment period suggests facilities that have the highest probability of default with long life and high repayment. The comparison of the results of the prediction accuracy shows the higher explanatory power of the support vector machine model and the use of the survival probability function than the simple neural network model for both groups of customers.

        AbstractBankruptcy Prediction is one of the branches of finance that has received more attention in in recent research as bankruptcy patterns have been developed. In most of the researches in the field of Prediction the financial performance of companies and in particular, bankruptcy, only Predicting or comparing the predictive power of models using historical information of financial statements has been done. Since historical accounting information has been used more in Iran, the main purpose of this study is to consider the effects of inflation on input variables in designing a bankruptcy prediction model. Therefore, the variables in design of two different models were classified into two groups of financial ratios, adjusted and historical. Then, the ratios were identified using the LARS algorithm that had the highest ability to differentiate between bankrupt and non-bankrupt companies. Finally, the final bankruptcy prediction model was designed using the logit regression test and SVM and Naive Bayesian algorithms. For this purpose, the data of 50 companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange were used, which had experienced bankruptcy according to Article 141 of the Commercial Code. The results of this study indicate that the financial ratios adjusted based on the price index are more suitable predictor for corporate bankruptcy. Also, the bankruptcy prediction model designed by SVM algorithm can be a very good predictor for corporate bankruptcy with 99.4% accuracy. Manuscript profile

        Investor's emotional tendencies indicate the margin of shareholder's optimism and pessimism towards a stock. Investors' emotions, under the influence of psychological phenomena, direct people's behavior and, in many cases, make people to deviate from the rational behavior. The purpose of this study is to use meta-innovative methods to predict the emotional tendencies of investors. In this study, using 97 financial ratios related to 176 companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange during the period between 2006 and 2018, investors' emotional tendencies have been predicted with the help of support vector machine (SVM) and decision tree (DT) techniques.To measure the emotional tendencies of investors, four indicators of relative strength, psychological line, trading volume and stock turnover adjustment rate have been applied. Finally, we have combined these indicators with the help of PCA method. Mean absolute error (MAE) and root mean square error (RMSE) values were used to compare predicting methods. The results of data analysis indicate that the prediction error of the support vector machine method is less than the decision tree. Manuscript profile

        With the growth of private banks , financial and credit institutions, competition for better services has increased. Given the importance of the issue, it is necessary to develop a comprehensive model for evaluating banks. Every organization needs to evaluate its performance to understand its strengths and weaknesses, especially in dynamic environments. The issue of performance appraisal is so widespread that even management experts say: "What cannot be evaluated cannot be managed".Banks, like other organizations in Iran, need performance evaluation to provide more diverse and faster services as well as their development. [6]This study aimed to present a model to evaluate the performance of banks listed in Tehran Stock Exchange using data mining approach. In this research, four data mining models of decision tree C5.0, decision tree C4.5, Naive Bayes classifier, and random forest were implemented and compared to evaluat the performance of banks. To this end, 28 financial ratios (e.g., profitability ratios, liquidity, quality management, asset quality, and capital adequacy) in 18 banks of Tehran Stock Exchange during 2014-2017 were selected as independent variables. In addition, the performance of banks in three categories of acceptable, unacceptable, and moderate was selected as the dependent variable of the study. According to the results, the decision tree C5.0 with the accuracy of 94.4% was the most efficient model proposed in this research. Manuscript profile

        Convolutional neural networks are being applied to identification problems in a variety of fields, and in some areas are showing higher discrimination accuracies than conventional methods. Hence, in this research, an attempt is made to apply a convolutional neural network to the prediction of corporate bankruptcy. The financial statements ratios has been choice 66 companies that have been delisted from the Iran Stock Market due to de facto bankruptcy as well as the financial statements of 66 listed companies over 2000 to 2019 financial periods. In this method, a set of financial ratios are derived from the financial statements and represented as a grayscale image. The image generated by this process is utilized for training and testing a convolutional neural network. The images for the bankrupt and continuing enterprises classes are used for training the convolutional neural network based on GoogLeNet. The findings shows, in prediction of going concern of firms, Convolutional neural network has predicted with 50 percent of precision. This means that 50 percent of continues firms and 50 percent of bankrupt firms has been predicted precisely. Manuscript profile

        This study aimed to add cost-sensitive learning technique to imbalanced data-based bankruptcy prediction models in order to reduce type I error and increase the geometric mean criterion of overall accuracy to reduce the misclassification costs of bankrupt companies for stakeholders. For this purpose, type I error, type II error, and the geometric mean of overall accuracy of bankruptcy models based on cost-sensitive learning were compared with bankruptcy prediction models with highly imbalanced datasets. The statistical sample included 1200 year-companies since 2001- 2020, consisting of 90% healthy companies and 10% bankrupt companies. Hypotheses test results showed that adding a cost-sensitive learning technique to the bankruptcy prediction models led to a significant decrease in the type I error, a significant increase in the type II error, and a significant increase in geometric mean of accuracy of imbalanced data-based models at 95% confidence level. Also, with the increase in the misclassification cost of bankrupt companies, type I error had a downward trend and the II type error had an upward trend, and the geometric mean of accuracy had an upward trend.

        In this study, an Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) based on Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is proposed for predicting the financial distress of companies. This system not only has the ability to adapt and learn, but also reduces the error, because it avoids additional parameters when input variables are too high. In order to confirm the effectiveness of this model, 181 listed companies in the Tehran Stock Exchange (905 companies-years) were selected by using systematic samples from 2011 to 2015, which 58 of those were distressed and 847 companies-years were healthy. These companies were randomly divided into two sets: a training set for designing model and a check set for validating the model. The results of the research show that the Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System based on Principal Component Analysis is capable for predicting the financial distress of companies accepted in Tehran Stock Exchange and when the proposed model is combined with Dove Swarm Optimization metaheuristic algorithm, Reducing the error value increases the accuracy of the model. Therefore, it can be seen that the use of a complementary algorithm can increase the predictability of the PCA-ANFIS model. Manuscript profile

        AbstractIn the behavioral financial paradigm, the human hypothesis as a rational being that always succeeds in optimizing its interests is questioned. Proponents of behavioral finance know that the knowledge of "psychological inclinations" in the field of investment is absolutely necessary and requires serious development of the field of study. Accordingly, the purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between financial ratios as a measure of accounting information on the pattern of behavior and trading performance of investors and also to investigate the effect of managers' ability on this relationship. In order to achieve the research goal, 105 companies were selected from the companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange, by systematic elimination method and tested using EViews and Stata software. The results of testing the hypotheses have shown that among the components of financial ratios; There was a significant relationship between current ratio, current ratio, gross profit ratio, total debt to equity ratio, total debt to total assets ratio, return on assets ratio and earnings per share ratio with investors' trading behavior and performance. The present results showed that in the content of accounting information, especially using some financial ratios, investors' trading behavior and performance can be predicted. On the other hand, the findings indicate a significant effect of managers' ability on the relationship between financial ratios (current ratio, instantaneous ratio, gross profit ratio and earnings per share ratio) and the trading behavior and performance of investors.
