Using a Financial Training Criterion Rather than a Prediction Criterion

Training a Neural Network with a Financial Criterion Rather than a Prediction Criterion

Feature Subset Select ion and Financial Predict ion Tasks

One major problem in applying neural networks to financial applications is the large number of features involved. The feature set is large because we simply do not know which of the given features may be useful to the system and include rather than risk throwing away a potentially useful one. In practice, training with the full set of features usually introduces unnecessary complexity and often...

Evaluation of Ultimate Torsional Strength of Reinforcement Concrete Beams Using Finite Element Analysis and Artificial Neural Network

Due to lack of theory of elasticity, estimation of ultimate torsional strength of reinforcement concrete beams is a difficult task. Therefore, the finite element methods could be applied for determination of strength of concrete beams. Furthermore, for complicated, highly nonlinear and ambiguous status, artificial neural networks are appropriate tools for prediction of behavior of such states. ...

Evaluation the Effect of Financial and Non-financial Variables on the Economic Value added of Iranian Banks

Objective: The economic value added of banks is a new approach to assessing the performance of banks that, while not having accounting problems in profit and loss statements, can predict the financial health of banks. Unlike developed countries, the most important measure of financial performance in Iranian banks is net profit, but modern financial theory seeks to maximize value rather than max...

Prediction of earing in deep drawing of anisotropic aluminum alloy sheet using BBC2003 yield criterion

This paper investigates the earing phenomenon in deep drawing of AA3105 aluminum alloy, experimentally and numerically. Earing defect is mainly attributed to the plastic anisotropy of sheet metal. In order to control such defect, predicting the evolution of ears in sheet metal forming analyses becomes indispensable. In this regard, the present study implements the advanced yield criterion BBC20...
