This paper develops an early warning system for predicting distress for large European banks. Using a novel definition of distress derived from banks' headroom above regulatory requirements, we investigate the performance of three machine learning techniques against the traditional logistic...

The untapped potential of wave energy offers another alternative to diversifying renewable energy sources and addressing climate change by reducing CO2 emissions. However, development costs to mature the technology remain significant hurdles to adoption at scale and the technology often must...

This study evaluates the predictive performance of four models-Decision Tree, Random Forest, Prophet, and LSTM-in forecasting container freight rates, a key metric for strategic decision-making in the shipping industry. To address data heterogeneity, Min-Max normalization was applied, and the...

Despite the cross-border availability of almost all goods and services online due to global Internet access, the domestic origin of sellers remains significant. This study examines the preferences for domestic versus cross-border goods and services in online purchases in the EU online market...

The greatest technological transformation the world has ever seen was brought about by artificial intelligence (AI). It presents significant opportunities for the financial sector to enhance risk management, democratize financial services, ensure consumer protection, and improve customer...

Feature selection identifies the relevant features and removes the irrelevant and redundant ones, intending to obtain the best-performing feature subset. This paper proposes a new feedback feature selection system with a reinforcement learning-based method to identify the best feature subset....

This research article presents a comparative analysis between logistic regression as a traditional method, artificial neural networks (ANNs), and decision tree as machine learning techniques for predicting credit risk. It meticulously examines and evaluates these three methods, elucidating their...

Greenwashing is the misleading use of environmental claims to market non-eco-friendly products, a growing concern as environmentally conscious consumers seek eco-friendly options. This study aims to identify factors that allow the detection of "greenwashing" practices in Colombian companies...

Researchers have been working on developing new effective, reliable, and environmentally friendly crop recommendation systems. This study introduces a thorough framework for predicting crop recommendations by combining sophisticated machine learning (ML) classifiers with a multi-class...

Mortgage default prediction is always on the table for financial institutions. Banks are interested in provision planning, while regulators monitor systemic risk, which this sector may possess. This research is focused on predicting defaults on a one-year horizon using data from the Ukrainian...

Predicting bankruptcy within selected industries is crucial because of the potential ripple effects and unique characteristics of those industries. It serves as a risk management tool, guiding various stakeholders in making decisions. While artificial intelligence (AI) has shown high success...

Uncovering the heterogeneous effects of particular policies or "treatments” is a key concern for researchers and policymakers. A common approach is to report average treatment effects in different subgroups based on observable covariates. However, there is likely to be considerable uncertainty...

A tourist recommendation system has been implemented based on python, Django framework and MySQL database. Firstly, crawler technology is used to crawl the ratings(reviews of customer experiences) information of TripAdvisor, and then the crawled ratings data is stored in MySQL. In the system,...

Japan's feed self-sufficiency rate is the lowest among developed countries. The Japanese government has introduced a feed rice subsidy, a flagship agricultural policy, to address this issue. However, unlike expectations, the perceived benefit of growing feed rice is low, and about 60% of farmers...

Fraudsters are now more active in their attacks on credit card transactions than ever before. With the advancement in data science and machine learning, various algorithms have been developed to determine whether a transaction is fraudulent. We study the performance of three different machine...

This article models the purchasing intention of young Indian consumers for branded smartphones by analysing their individual preferences for the different features of the smartphone. This article selects thirteen features for analysis, and the respondents are asked to rate, which are further...

In pharmaceutical R&D, decision makers face a large portion of uncertainty in portfolio decisions. Existing optimization tools are mostly based on expected values, ignoring uncertainty, and most often deliver a single, "best" selection of projects. A decision tree approach can aid decision...

Background: This paper explores the potential of Industry 5.0 in driving societal transition to a circular economy. We focus on the strategic role of reverse logistics in this context, underlining its significance in optimizing resource use, reducing waste, and enhancing sustainable production...

Sports analytics has gained rapid popularity in recent years and will likely continue to evolve. In this study, we construct predictive analytics models to forecast the NFL games outcomes in a season using decision trees and logistics regression. Several variables are used as predictors...

In order to be able to develop effective energy policies based on accurate projections, the search for better consumption modeling options is nowadays the focus of many researchers. Given the emerging use of quantile regression, decision tree and artificial neural network models for energy...

Flash floods are becoming an increasingly recurrent natural hazard globally. Romania has been devastated severely by heavy floods. Storms that cause heavy floods in mountain and hilly river catchments are generally triggered by heavy rainfall. In addition to temporal flash flood forecasting,...

Machine learning (ML) is a new-age thriving technology, which facilitates computers to read and interpret from the previously present data automatically. It makes use of multiple algorithms to build models, mathematical in nature, and then makes predictions for the new data using the past data...

The aim of this paper is to assess the level of success achieved by entrepreneurs. The concept of success has many subjective facets, and it needs to be evaluated to reach other higher objectives, such as improving support systems for entrepreneurs. The usual pre-existing focuses for the...
