        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

        The aim of this study, firstly, is to investigate and identify the factors leading to the adoption of high yielding wheat varieties grown by farmers. Secondly, it is to consider the impacts of neighborhood on farmers’ decisions about adoption of wheat varieties as spatial data. For this purpose, Spatial Probit Discrete Choice model and Bayesian method will be used to estimate the model by using MATLAB software. The data are collected by 214 farmers in central part of Qazvin city via Simple Random Sampling. The results of the models estimated by using Bayesian method shows that adoption of high yielding wheat varieties are affected by variables such as rural production cooperatives, farming experience, age, quantity of wheat production and Spatial Autoregressive Coefficient.

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

        Rural households in Nigeria are vulnerable to shock because of their limited capacity to make informed decision on secured coping strategies which is further aggravated by some households’ specific socio-economic characteristics. Attempts were made to identify shocks being faced by households’ heads and coping strategies. Multistage sampling technique was used to select 80 respondents and well structured questionnaire was used to collect data through in-depth interview. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics to describe households’ socio-economic variables; Probit analysis was also used to determine the relationship between personal socio-economic characteristics of the respondents, shocks and choice of coping actions. The results revealed that a large share of households experience multidimensional shocks, which are mainly associated to ecological but also suffer from other economic, demographic and social factors. Majority of households undertake coping actions in response to shocks; coping strategies employed but not limited to include borrowing, distress sales of assets, remittances, adjustment in food intake, drawing on savings. Educational status, household size, per capita income, shocks type, coping strategies, among others are found to significantly affect the choice of coping actions and are likely to have implications for households’ future welfare status.

        Stock return forecasting is one of the most important question for investing in Stock markets. Because of the effects of policy, economic, etc., we need moderns and intelligent models to forecast the returns. The main idea in this research is classifying the stocks into high and low return groups, for this purpose support vector machine (SVM) was used. To elect the best variables for models we used sequential feature selection and in order to evaluate the accuracy of SVM we do the same forecasting with diagonal quadratic discriminant analysis (DQDA). By using paired t-test, we conclude that models have no significant difference. Equal weighted portfolios were created for each models with and without feature selection also, we used posterior probability to weight the portfolio of DQDA with feature selection. The returns were calculated for each portfolio during the years 1388-1391. The simulating results are satisfying and all portfolios’ returns are better than market portfolio. Manuscript profile

        Seedling emergence probably is the single most important phenological event that influences the success of an annual plant. The main objective of this study was to develop a seedling emergence model for green bean and maize and select a best-fitted model associated with sowing depth. A factorial experiment based on completely randomized design was conducted in 2015 at Research Farm of Mohaghegh Ardabili University, to quantify the response of seedling emergence to sowing depth. Treatments were four sowing depths (2, 4, 6 and 8 cm) in three replications. The results indicated that the percentage emergences of both species in the first two levels of sowing depth (2 and 4 cm) were high, but at deeper levels, seedling emergence were suffering a severe loss. Emergence indicators (MED, ERI, D50%) showed that seedling emergence of bean was greater than maize. For two species, an increase in pre-emergence mortality with increasing depth was observed. So that the highest germinated seeds mortality occurred at 8 cm depth. However, in probit fitted curves for each dataset, the rates of increasing between plants varied. The rate of emergence varied between plants and based on values of statistical criteria, because of less parameters number in linear probit model, it was showed suitable to fit model. Therefore, these models may provide a better basis for broad practical application in crop management. Manuscript profile

        In recent years, the role and importance of information have been quickly entered into the theories and policies. All reforms of health policies, including voluntary health insurance are necessarily in need of addressing the problem of asymmetric information.The present study examined the relationship between health risk and the probability of voluntary health insurance using probit model. Then, the causes of the correlation between voluntary health information and health risk were identified by ordered probit model. The results of the study show a negative correlation between health risk and probability of voluntary health insurance which is related to moral hazards in insurance market. The main reason is the incompetence and inefficiency of insurance system. According to the study, the negative correlation is related to the information that insurance companies obtained and screenings in the insurance market by choosing strategies for dealing with moral hazard not the heterogeneous risk preferences of individuals.
