These factors may be evaluated in fuzzy or stochastic environment. Hence, the classic structures of DEA model may be changed where in two fold fuzzy stochastic environment. For instances, linearity, feasibility and normal domain of efficiency scores (input orientation) between zero and one are some of these properties. In this paper, a new approach based on alpha cuts is proposed for evaluating decision making units with fuzzy stochastics inputs and outputs. The proposed approach modifies these weaknesses to solve DEA models with fuzzy stochastic parameters. A numerical example is given to illustrate the features and the applicability of the proposed model. Manuscript profile -

These investors consider their portfolio as a set of mental arithmetic. In mental accounting, the conventional issue of maximizing the expected return is faced with the constraint of maximum likelihood to fail in achieving the return threshold. The present study extracts the capital asset pricing model from Markowitz Mean-Variance Portfolio Model and risk-free asset entering the limitations of this model. Then, MA-CAPM model is extracted by creating a mathematical equivalence between the components of this model and the limitation of mental accounting. In this model, expected investment return for any purpose presented in the form of mental arithmetic is a function of the return on risk-free asset, beta and risk premium of mental arithmetic where the risk premium of mental arithmetic equals the difference between returns of each account and risk-free return on assets. Expected rate of return on assets in the MA-CAPM will be influenced by return threshold and likelihood to fail in reaching this threshold, i.e. mental arithmetic risk. Manuscript profile -

Considering the portfolios of institutes and the mutual relationship of their items, any tension in refunding the overdone facilities can lead to essential problems such as liquidity risk, interest rate, and even bankruptcy. In this way, finance and credit institutes look for models, achieving experience, and improving credit evaluation models they use to validate the credit of their credit customers. However, the list of the important variables for credit validation and selection of the more appropriate and effective model has been a crucial question for many of these institutes. The present study investigates the LOGIT, PROBIT, and Z Altman models, using a set of qualitative and quantitative variables of the legal customers of depository institutions. The findings prove that qualitative and financial variables of the legal customers for this institute proved to be explanatory for the credit risk probability at a high degree of confidence. These models successfully predicted credit risk for 80% of the facilities and LOGIT was more successful than other models. Manuscript profile -

Companies plan marketing strategies to increase brand loyalty, maintain their market share, and garner higher profits. Having a large number of loyal customers helps the organization decrease marketing costs and gain competitive advantages. Loyal customers are an asset for a brand and have been identified as a major determinant of brand equity. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the influence of product involvement on brand loyalty using Kapferer and Laurent’s Consumer Involvement Profile (CIP). A total of 270 usable questionnaires were collected from students of I.A.U. Tehran Science and Research Branch University. In this study, a cell phone was selected as the product, and Structural Equation Model (SEM) was used to analyze results. It was found that product involvement has a positive effect on brand loyalty and that brand loyalty is affected by all dimensions of product involvement. Interest and hedonic value, sign value, and risk importance positively affect brand loyalty, while risk probability and brand loyalty have a significant and reversed relationship.

The available statistics and information from Zagros forests are not effective in the management decisions of these forests due to many reasons such as their preparation in the traditional way or their oldness. In this research, a high-accuracy map of canopy density and distribution of Zagros forests as well as the determination of other land uses have been prepared using Sentinel-2 images of 2019 in the south of West Azarbaijan province. The image classifications were performed with the supervised method and ML and SVM algorithms in the ENVI 5.3 software environment. The Bing and Google Earth images were used to prepare the ground truth map to evaluate the accuracy of the output maps. In this research, the five non-forest land uses including ranges, gardens, agriculture, water sources, and barren and residential lands were classified. The results showed that the maximum likelihood algorithm with an overall accuracy of 87.3% and a kappa coefficient of 0.74 was the most accurate in preparing the canopy density map. The available statistics showed that the state of forest cover in the province is not in a favorable condition and the area of Zagros forest in the province is equal to 60200.55 ha, which is equivalent to about 90% of the updated statistics of the forests, rangelands, and watershed management organization of the country (67235,91 ha) in 2020. It can be stated that Sentinel-2 data has an acceptable efficiency in terms of accuracy and cost for preparing the canopy density and distribution map of forest areas and preparing the land use map.

The causation in this theory is introduced as anobjective relation and it is based on inherent properties. The causalrelation is attended in type level. Otherwise human cognition of naturalphenomena is not definite and determined; the process of cognition isapproximated to the truth. In another words, with the acceptance offault of human cognition, man suggests a probable frame forexplanation of his findings. Probabilistic causation uses the probabilitytheory as a tool for explaining the relationship between cause andeffect. Probabilistic causation is proposed in two levels: type level(General causal) and token levels (Singular causal). In this research,like Eells’s approach, probability causation relationship in type leveland it is considered in General causal meaning. Causal relation isconsidered as typical factor or Property. There are two differentinterpretations: objective interpretation and subjective interpretation.What is explored in this research is objective interpretation in the frameof frequency-propensity interpretation. The main question in thisresearch is consideration in the sense of probabilistic causation theoryand pondering the capability and merits of this concept in against withontological and epistemological challenges.

Therefore in this study, dependence among the main characteristics of a rainfall event (i.e., rainfall depth R, maximum rainfall depth M, wet period L, and dry period D) were modeled using D-vine structure. Firstly, different multivariate probability distributions were built, making all the permutations of the conditioning variables and then Archimedean and Elliptic copulas were used for fitting each pair-copula. The best copula family was selected for fitting on each pair-copula according to different criteria. In the next stage, M-R-D-L structure, i.e., with D conditioned by L, R by D and L, and M by R, D, and L, was known as the most suitable structure considering to AIC and BIC criteria. Finally, rainfall event characteristics were simulated using the selected structure. In order to evaluation of simulation accuracy of proposed model, the main statistics of simulated variables were compared with those of observed variables. The results showed that the majority of simulated statistics have good accordance with observed statistics. Manuscript profile -

The studies conduct MoreBackground and Aim: One of the biggest challenges of the rainfall-runoff model is to accurately determine the rate of water infiltration into the soil as one of the parameters that determine the size and shape of the hydrographs of historical floods. The studies conducted in different climates that show different morphometry of the earth indicate the weakness of widely used methods such as SCS-CN in determining the rate of water infiltration into the soil. For the SCS-CN method, as the soil storage index approaches infinity, the soil moisture ratio approaches 1, and this is due to the limitation of the SCS-CN method. In this research, focusing on this weakness in the basic relationships of loss calculations, and an integrated approach in determining the infiltration of water into the soil, the magnitude of the historical floods in the watershed was analyzed. The importance of this analysis can be in verifying the magnitude of floods, which is the criterion for determining structures or crisis control programs.Method: Considering that in order to solve the problem of infiltration calculations at the basin scale, and based on the new equations to determine flow losses, a homogeneous but raster criterion is needed, in this research, based on the sensitivity of the produced flow to the amount of losses in the probabilistic investigation of the index humidity and flow ratio, a depth-infiltration model was prepared from the two-dimensional comprehensive model in the range. In this study, based on the new relationships of losses determination, numerical calculations were done in the software and script environment sequentially and based on the outputs of the hydrological model. First, the HEC-HMS rainfall-runoff model structure was generated with Arc Hydro and HEC_GeoHMS extensions in Shadegan catchment. Then, infiltration parameters were determined by SMA method in the analysis of remote sensing images from the basin. In the next stage, the development of the primary continuous model, calibration and validation was done focusing on soil moisture information. After determining the soil moisture relationship based on the results of the soil wetting model, the artificial unit occurrence hydrograph was determined by determining the flood volume based on the SCS-CN and VIC combined method. Results: The general results of the implementation of the hydraulic model of the flood plain showed that the maximum inflow was equal to 3023 cubic meters per second at the 90th hour of the event, and the maximum outflow flood was at the 93rd hour with a figure of 2137 cubic meters per second. The discharge value is assumed to be 0 at the beginning of the calculations. The flow volume at the end of the calculations was equal to 141.03 million cubic meters, which is the remaining volume of 918.36 million cubic meters in the whole event. The difference between the inlet and outlet discharge was calculated as a deficiency of about 6.14%. Also, the layer of flow depth changes shows that the water level in the plain is trying to be at a possible and reasonable level by filling the lower points. So that a large part of the volume of water from the southern strip of the borders of Trava for the active area of modeling will eventually flow into the sea. However, the direction of water movement has even been estimated to be perpendicular to the direct path towards the sea in some cases. These results indicate a maximum depth of 16.4 units in some areas, with a minimum depth of 5.3 units. The important point is that in the plains, according to the cell size, definitely in some cases much lower depths can be calculated. The average depth in active cells is 11.9 meter calculated locally. These figures can change according to different rainfall events.Conclusions: The results showed that it is possible to verify the infiltration based on the new base distribution equations with a probabilistic condition in the estimation of the basin shape parameter. The amount of hydrograph calibration in response to water infiltration in soil is dependent on the correct estimation of initial soil moisture. Flow losses in large-scale watersheds are obtained more suitably based on SCS-based distribution equations. Numerical and hydrological models such as HEC-HMS or modelers such as HEC_GeoHMS are completely dependent on the DEM raw layer introduced for the purpose of upstream demarcation. Changes in land cover in flat areas can actually produce a closed border of the watershed compared to the reality of the land in different simulation models. According to the basic assumptions such as calibration coefficients, the single hydrograph method can be a good substitute for areas without rainfall-runoff statistics. The TUFLOW software model gave the best response to one-dimensional to two-dimensional flow for Shadgan plain according to the type of boundary conditions. Manuscript profile -

However, this index only uses the gamma distribution function for fitting precipitation data and does not consider seasonal variations. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of SPI in drought monitoring of arid and semi-arid regions of Iran and fix the related problems with this Index. Then the SPI was compared with its modified state (SPImod) over (1956–2010). The results showed that the generalized extreme value distribution function in more than 57% of the cases was the most appropriate probability distribution function of rainfall data. But the default distribution (Gamma) was selected only in 11% of months. Comparison of Kappa index showed that with increasing time window, the agreement between SPImod and SPI indexes increases. The amounts of one-month Kappa for studied stations was Tehran (0.31), Mashhad (0.33), Bushehr (0.32) and Khorram-Abad (0.26), while for nine-month the Kappa increased. Such that in Tehran (0.49) and in Mashhad, Bushehr and Khorramabad, respectively, with values (0.47), (0.56) and (0.45). Also, the results showed that the frequency and displacement of drought classes would be very variable in comparison to these two indices. As the displacement of normal, severe drought and severe, with a total of 259, 147 and 111 events in the time window-three and displacement of moderate drought, normal and moderate wet year, with a total of 68, 54 And 28 events in time window-nine were noticeable.

In this study, the efficiency of 65 statistical distributions was evaluated through the use of monthly and annual flow data series of 49 hydrometric stations. The results show that on the annual scale, Gamma distribution is not the superior distribution. On a monthly scale, this distribution was found only in 1% of all cases examined as the superior distribution. This is while the Wakeby distribution was introduced on an annual basis in about 35 percent of the cases, and on a monthly scale, up to 43 percent of the scenarios were introduced as a top-ranked distribution. Based on the SDI index calculated based on Gamma distribution and Wakeby distribution, in the case of the P-Value of the Gamma distribution is less than 0.3, it is possible to move the drought classes using Wakeby distribution. These conditions were observed in 30% of the examined cases. The highest and the lowest displacements of the hydrological drought classes due to the use of superior distribution were in December and May, respectively. It was found that the highest frequency of displacement of the drought classes resulted from the use of superior distribution occurs in the normal class. Accordingly, it is recommended that the Wakeby distribution be replaced by the gamma distribution in the SDI calculations. Manuscript profile -

This paper uses an agent based model (ABM) to investigate the impact of bankers’ credit decision actions on bank credit losses that are induced by lending to corporate clients. In this model, we assume one bank give credit to corporate clients and divide corporate in two sectores: small and medium corporates and large corporates. The results show that credit decision actions have substantial effects on bank credit losses, thus implying that regulators should consider organizational factors as a complement to bank assets when assigning capital requirements to banks. The study also aims to point to a new area of application of ABMs for both researchers and practitioners. Manuscript profile -

By leveraging the zero-forcing (ZF) beamforming at the FD multi-antenna base station, self-interference is mitigated, and the instantaneous sum rate of the system is maximized. More specifically, we propose two ZF-based beamforming designs at the base station, namely receive ZF (RZF) and transmit ZF (TZF) scheme, which respectively utilize the receive and transmit antennas at the BS to cancel out the SI at the BS. We derive closed-form expression for the outage probability of the NOMA near and far users as a function of different system parameters. Finally, we examine the accuracy of the results by using extensive simulation results. Our numerical results show that for both TZF and RZF scheme, increasing the number of transmit and receive antenna is beneficial to improve the outage performance of the DL near user, while increasing the number of transmit and receive antenna significantly improve the outage performance of the DL far user with RZF scheme.

In this research, the aim is to monitor and analyze land use changes using satellite images and remote sensing from 2010 to 2020 in Sabzevar city with Landsat images. For research, preprocessing included atmospheric correction and radiometric and geometric correction. A total of 200 ground control points were collected to classify and evaluate the accuracy of the classification with the maximum probability classification algorithm in the ground visit. The classification results showed that the forest area in 2010 was equal to 68980.21 hectares, which with the change of use and its conversion to residential use, barren and rainfed agriculture in 2020 reached 66044.99 hectares, ie 2935.22 hectares, its area has decreased. Residential use with its growth in 2010 to 2020 has increased from 2855.89 to 4563.98, ie 1708.09 hectares. Land use changes in semi-dense rangeland have also decreased from 167164.89 to 153287.68 hectares, i.e. 13877.21. Kappa coefficient and overall accuracy in 2020 were 98.42 and 97.84, respectively, which was the highest value compared to previous years. In this study, it can be recommended that the government increase the vegetation of the land to protect pasture and forest uses against further changes, and to compensate for these changes, to plant fast-growing forests.

Moreover, iterated function system (IFS) is a significant research object of fractal theory. On the other hand, the Markov process plays an important role in the stochastic process. In this paper, the iterated function system with probability(IFSP) and the infinite function system with probability(IIFSP) are investigated by using interlink, period, recurrence and some related concepts. Then, some important properties are obtained, such as: 1. The sequence of stochastic variable $\{\zeta_{n},(n\geq 0)\}$ is a homogenous Markov chain. 2. The sequence of stochastic variable $\{\zeta_{n},(n\geq 0)\}$ is an irreducible ergodic chain. 3. The distribution of transition probability $ p_{ij}^{(n)}$ based on $n\rightarrow\infty $ is a stationary probability distribution. 4. The state space can be decomposed of the union of the finite(or countable) mutually disjoint subsets, which are composed of non-recurrence states and recurrence states respectively.

As a result, the decision-makers must operate in a dynamically complicated environment where appropriate and rapid reaction in a cooperative way is the fundamental key to effectively completing the task. We express a theory of decision modeling and axiomatizing a decision-making process. The payoffs and probabilities are represented with simplified neutrosophic sets. We therefore, provide the theory of choice with the implementation of simplified neutrosophic sets. By exploiting the idea of pure strategy, we introduce two steps: in the first step, for each attractive point, some particular event is selected that can bring about a relatively neutrosophic upper payoff with a relatively neutrosophic upper probability or a relatively neutrosophic lower payoff with a relatively neutrosophic upper probability. A decision-maker selects the most favored attractive point in the second stage, based on the focus on all attractive points. Neutrosophic focus theory has been introduced to improve overall performance with more flexibility in complex decision-making. The approach suggested in this work has been implemented in a real-life example to determine its effectiveness. The proposed method is shown to be the most useful for ranking scenarios and addressing dynamic programming problems in decision-making. Manuscript profile -

Parameters evaluated were number and projected area per hectare. Considering all the sampling factors, a grid of 100*100m were determined for randomized systematic sampling. Length of transect was determined as 100m in transect method. To compare the results of these method with the real population statistical parameters, a 100% survey of coarse woody debris was take over 107 hectares including three compartments. The results of t-test show that the population mean was similar to means of transect method based on probability theory for all parameters, the means being within the range of confidence intervals. However in this method and in all cases, the inventory errors were greater than those at the acceptable level (10%). This can be cocluded that transect method based on probability theory is a suitable method for estimating of coarse woody debris in Caspian forests. Manuscript profile -

Finally, using logit regression, a model has been provided to increase the ability of the bank's managers to solve the problem of non-repayment of credit facilities on time. First, 7 variables that had a significant effect on customers' credit risk were identified and fitted to the significance level of 5% of the final model using LR statistics. The results showed that the variables of the borrower's monthly income, the borrower's relationship with the guarantor, the guarantor's guaranteed capital, the borrower's experience and job stability, the loan repayment period and the years of borrower's relationship with the bank, have adverse effect on credit risk and the variable loan amount has a direct effect on credit risk.

To achieve the goal, Money Market Pressure index approach will be used by Markov Switching Model. The results indicate that, although, based on governmental supporting, the banking section in Iran has never encountered the phenomena such as bank run and bankruptcy, but it has also experienced banking crisis. Likewise, the assessment of probit model suggests that some indexes are leading banking crisis probability. These indicators include the variables of real exchange rate growth, the growth rate of credit endowed to private sector, real GDP, housing price, and real interest rate. Furthermore, the measures of expectation-prediction represent that the model developed has considerable potential to predict in sample banking crisis. Also, this model is unsuccessful in the prediction of the crisis in only 12 percent, but capable of predicting crisis in 77 percent of cases, where the crisis has occurred with probability of more than 40 percent.

The main challenges of these type of systems is reaching to the optimum size in order to have an affordable system based on storing the solar and wind energy. In this paper, optimization of a solar-wind hybrid system is presented with a saving battery system for supplying a specific hourly load annually to minimize annual system expenses and the probability of Loss of Power Supply Probability (LPSP). Annual expenses of the system include initial investment, maintenance, and replacement costs. The purpose of optimization is to determine the numbers of solar panels, wind turbines, batteries, the height of the wind tower, and the angle of the solar panel toward solar radiation. For this issue, a new method named Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm (GOA) is employed. Also, the effects of changes in inverter efficiency, load demand, and of maximum probability of LPSP on system designing are evaluated. Simulation results show that the efficiency reduction, load increase, and increasing the load and maximum reliability in the system in the form of reducing of LPSP lead to an increase in annual energy costs of systems. Furthermore, the results indicate the superiority of the GOA method toward particle swarm optimization (PSO) in reaching better target function and less cost. Manuscript profile -

When a company deals with a financial problem, it may not be able to fulfill its financial obligations, which can cause direct and indirect financial losses to shareholders, creditors, investors and other people in the community. Advanced credit risk models that are based on market value include improving credit quality as well as reducing or decreasing credit ratings. In the present study, we have Investigated two models of advanced credit risk models, so two samples were selected, namely companies with financial problems and companies with financial health, in each group probabilities of default are estimated by two models which are KMV and ZPP, and then we compared probabilities of default. We have concluded that the ZPP model has more predictive ability than the KMV model.This method is denoted the Zero-Price Probability or simply the ZPP model. The main focus is on the new simulation based approach rather than the older established models. Manuscript profile -

Credit risk refers to the risk of default by the borrower, i.e. the borrower fails to fulfill its obligations to repay debt, or at least does not settle the obligations on time. In this study, we intend to predict the probability of default, in the selected companies at the Tehran stock exchange. It can be divided modes of assessing the default risk in three categories. These are structural models, data based experimental models and expert assessment models that determined by experts without statistical estimations. Our research is based on the structural models. Structural models such as first passage models are developed based on the Merton model. It can be said that the structural literature on credit risk starts with the paper by Merton (1974), who applies the option pricing theory developed by Black and Scholes (1973). Merton model has a number of simplifying assumptions, i.e. occurrence of default only could happen in maturity time. In this study by relaxing the above assumption, we will reach more developed model to calculate the probability of default. After that, we calculate the annual default probability of the selected companies both by the Merton model and the proposed model during the years 1390 and 1391 SH. Ultimately, the performance of both models is compared using Wilcoxon signed-rank test that indicates a significant difference between the two models. Manuscript profile -

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.
