abstract:
Stock price of crash risk is a phenomenon in which stock prices are subject to
severe negative and sudden adjustments. So far, different approaches have been
proposed to model and predict the stock price of crash risk, which in most cases
have been the main emphasis on the factors affecting it, and often-traditional
methods have been used for prediction. On the other hand, using Meta Heuristic
Algorithms, has led to a lot of research in the field of finance and accounting.
Accordingly, the purpose of this research is to model the Stock price of crash risk
of listed companies in Tehran Stock Exchange using firefly algorithm and compare
the results with multivariate regression as a traditional method. Of the companies
listed on the stock exchange, 101 companies have been selected as samples.
Initially, 19 independent variables were introduced into the model as input
property of the particle accumulation algorithm, which was considered as a feature
selection method. Finally, in each of the different criteria for calculating the risk
Stock price of crash risk, some optimal variables were selected, then using firefly
algorithm and multivariate regression, the stock price of crash risk was predicted
and results were compared. To quantify the Stock price of crash risk, three criteria
for negative skewness, high fluctuations and maximum sigma have been used.
Two methods of MSE and MAE have been used to compare the methods. The
results show that the ability of meta-meta-heuristic methods to predict the risk
Stock price of crash risk is not generally higher than the traditional method of
multivariate regression, And the research hypothesis was not approved
