Developing a Dynamic Regression Model for Predicting Future Operating Cash Flow

Authors

Abstract:

The purpose of this research is to develop a dynamic regression model for prediction of future operating cash flows of firms accepted in Tehran Stock Exchange. So, the information of 250 companies were considered during 2004 to 2017. In this study, operational and economic variables were added to the fundamental model of Bart, Cram and Nelson (BCN). Due to the simultaneous effect of sales growth rate on working capital accruals (independent variables) and future operating cash flows (dependent variable) to fit the model, the gray box method was used with the help of the Pade approximant. To estimate the model were used three meta heuristics algorithm, grey wolf optimization, particle swarm optimization and inspired optic optimization. The results showed that the model which estimated by gray wolff algorithm has the least cash flows prediction error among all algorithms. In order to investigate the superiority of the gray wolf algorithm, the Friedman test was used. The results of this test also confirmed the superiority of the gray wolf algorithm in predicting future cash flows.

Performance Comparison of Artificial Intelligence Methods for Predicting Cash Flow

Cash flow forecasting is indispensable for managers, investors and banks. However, which method is more robust has been argued under the condition of small size samples. With sliding window technique we create the Response Surface, Back Propagation Neural Network, Radial Basis Functions Neural Network and Support Vector Machine models respectively, which are examined by comparing performances o...

Dynamic Inventory Management with Cash Flow Constraints

In this article, we consider a classic dynamic inventory control problem of a self-financing retailer who periodically replenishes its stock from a supplier and sells it to the market. The replenishment decisions of the retailer are constrained by cash flow, which is updated periodically following purchasing and sales in each period. Excess demand in each period is lost when insufficient invent...

Developing a dynamic yield and growth model for saffron under different irrigation regimes

Better irrigation management and more efficient management of crop production require modeling of plant growth and crop yield. More applicable models are usually simple and requires less and accessible inputs. The objective of this study was to develop a model for growth and yield prediction of saffron under various irrigation regimes. In this modeling soil water budget and other simple rel...

Developing a Multi-objective Mathematical Model for Dynamic Cellular Manufacturing Systems

This paper is in search of designing the cellular manufacturing systems (CMSs) under dynamic and flexible environment. CM is proper for small-to-medium lot production environment that helps the companies to produce variable kind of productions with at least scraps. The most important benefits of CM are decline in material handling, reduction in work-in-process, reduction in set-up time, increme...

Evaluating the Role of Company Life Cycle for an Appropriate Model in Predicting the Quality of Discretionary Accruals (Abnormal) Based on Dickinson Cash Flow Model Approach

The main purpose of this research is to evaluate the role of the company life cycle in providing an appropriate model in predicting the quality of discretionary accruals (Abnormal) using the Dickinson Cash Flow Model approach. The statistical population of the research consisted of 180 company observations that were divided into three stages of life cycle using Dickinson's model variables (2011...
