        Scenario scripting and development, one of the most important method in futures studies, can be resulted by using logic sequence of events methods like "probability scenario tree ". This method, despite its special benefits, was less valued by researchers and scenario planner. Trees were rarely used as a development tools but in this research, authors attempt to explain a special methods step by step that can set new writing and reading style for future scenarios examined in topics entities. In this way, contact to scenario is operated successively. Then possible future situations and images with conditional probabilities can be seen as a tree with a distinct routes from root (now status) to end which appear as a scenario. Identified key variables as driving forces of investigated matter and determining different and discrete status of them could make different chronological order of their occurrence apparent and the conditional probabilities from node to node towards the future can be calculated. In this study, the researchers scanned the scientific literature and developed a practice step by step in a case study entitled " Next 5 Years Tehran Stock Exchange Scenarios ". We tried to perform this method and deliver feedback to strengthen it through interviews and questionnaires and library studies too. The results of applying this method in Tehran Stock Exchange shows approval logic on probability calculations method and chronology of events. Events followed from the pre-known chance percent by experts and was so interesting. The advantages of this expert-based method are to strengthen the recognition and diagnosis of favorable and unfavorable scenarios with probability of their occurrence, appearing future state map at a glance, recognizing the transformational interruption points and Milestones in the future, sensitivity analysis and contingency planning. Results and outputs of this method can make fertile field for scenarios based planning and processing by experts, so that it provides to imagine the future through deeper understanding and insight in the complex decision-making.

        Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a widely used technique for measuring the relative efficiencies of homogenous Decision Making Units (DMUs) with multiple inputs and multiple outputs. 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

        Ordinary investors do not look to their portfolio as a whole. 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

        One of the most important risks of the banking system is the credit risk. 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

        Brand loyalty is a fundamental concept in strategic marketing. 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.

        Since there are different statistics on the area, distribution, and density of Zagros forests, continuous monitoring and evaluation of these forests are facing implementation problems. 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.

        In this research, the theory of probabilistic causation is investigated.The main idea of this theory is that the cause changes the probability ofhappening effect. 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.

        Investigation of precipitation characteristics is necessitate in understanding and predicting phenomena of precipitation such as runoff and flood. 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

        Background 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

        Standard precipitation index (SPI) is the most widely drought monitoring index. 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.

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

        The credit crisis in recent years has increased the focus on bank credit risk. 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

        We consider a full-duplex (FD) cellular network, where uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) transmissions are performed at the same time over the same frequency band by using the non-orthogonal multiple-access (NOMA) technique. 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.

        Remote sensing is one of the effective tools to study the process of land use change on a large scale and in a short time. 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.

        This article deals with the role of mathematical chemistry in environmental studies. The aim of the article is to highlight the role of mathematical chemistry as a mathematical thinking in environmental studies. Mathematical thinking governing mathematical chemistry characterizes modeling strategies in environmental studies. The research background of environmental studies show that mathematical chemistry has been effective in solving many environmental problems. In this article, by presenting research examples and without entering into the specialized formulation of mathematical chemistry, the interaction between mathematical chemistry and the environment has been explored from its various dimensions so that the interaction of mathematical chemistry with environmental studies has been explored. The result of this research confirms that environmental problems are the driving engine of mathematical chemistry and mathematical thinking hidden in mathematical chemistry is the key to solving environmental problems. In Iran's universities, today the door to constructive interaction between mathematical chemistry and the environment has been opened in the form of intergroup scientific activities, and the country is on the verge of entering the era of mathematical thinking.

        To determine a suitable method, based on precision and cost of inventory for estimates of residuals in Caspian Forests, a transect method based on probability theory, were selected for comparison. 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

        The aim of this study is to investigate the factors affecting the probability of banking facilities default by customers and to determine the main variables coefficient related to the probability of default. 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.

        Abstract This study uses the early warning system approach to predict banking crisis in Iran during 1990Q1– 2013Q4. 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.

        Renewable energy has been developed in recent years due to the limited sources of fossil fuels, their possibility of depletion, and the related environmental issues. 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

        Credit risk issues and methods for identifying and predicting it have been constantly evolving over the past few decades. 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

        DIS are designed to protect depositors by guaranteeing the repayment of funds owed by depositors of banks and other member credit institutions in the event of bankruptcy. This paper uses the SYMBOL and the Monte Carlo simulation method to calculate the systemic risk of the Iranian banking network. For this purpose, first, the probability of default of banks, using their balance sheet information, is estimated independently, and then, with the entry of the interbank market, the probability of default of banks in the presence of the spread of effects between Banking is measured and by obtaining the distribution of banks' losses, in both cases, the amount of coverage of these losses by the Deposit Guarantee Fund is examined and the capital adequacy of the Deposit Guarantee Fund is evaluated. The sample includes 15 Iranian banks and the period of 1397. The results show that the target size of the Deposit Guarantee Fund, in cases without and despite interbank effects, covers 91.5% and 87.5% of the losses, respectively. Failure of one or more banks can lead to Banking crisis and the collapse of the entire banking system, and it is necessary for regulators to take measures to prevent possible banking crises.

        The purpose of this article is to predict probability of default of 60 corporations with structural Merton model. we used market data of 60 corporations from 2018/08/01 to 2019/09/01 witch are listed in Tehran Stock Exchange For predicting probability of default . to reach this goal we estimated assets value of corporations, volatility of assets and drift rate. We used Capital asset pricing method to estimate expected assets return. Then We used simple regression method and multivariate GARCH (MGARCH) to estimate Beta of corporations. in the end we compute d likelihood function of the average predicted default for each industry and compared the results with actual default rate of that industry in the next year after predicted date. Regarding obtained results of likelihood function probability of default prediction with multivariate GARCH (MGARCH) approach outperform the simple regression model, therefore we recommend using the MGARCH approach for its better prediction performance.

        Nowadays one of the most critical issues of risk management in banks, financial institutions and credit rating agencies is credit risk. 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

        Asymmetric information can have a huge impact on financial markets. One of the important effects of asymmetric information in the market is the Inclination of market performance towards disruptions and inefficiencies, as the way information is input in the fluctuation of market prices and determining the final price and asymmetric information can reduce efficiency. In this regard, the main objective of this research is to measure the risk of information asymmetry using theProbability of Informed Trading (PIN) model in Tehran Stock Exchange companies. The results show that the information asymmetry risk of Tehran Stock Exchange companies is not the same and there is a significant difference between the information risk asymmetry indexes.

        The purpose of the study is to obtain a probability of a very high loss for a credit portfolio in a fixed time horizon and to calculate the loss of this portfolio in the worst possible case (the defaults of all customers). 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.
