Grammatical Evolution And Corporate Failure Prediction

This study examines the potential of Grammatical Evolution to uncover a series of useful rules which can assist in predicting corporate failure using information drawn from financial statements. A sample of 178 publically quoted, failed and non-failed US firms, drawn from the period 1991 to 2000 are used to train and test the model. The preliminary findings indicate that the methodology has muc...

A data mining approach to the prediction of corporate failure

This paper uses a data mining approach to the prediction of corporate failure. Initially, we use four single classi®ers Ð discriminant analysis, logistic regression, neural networks and C5.0 Ð each based on two feature selection methods for predicting corporate failure. Of the two feature selection methods Ð human judgement based on ®nancial theory and ANOVA statistical method Ð we found the AN...

A hybrid genetic model for the prediction of corporate failure

This study examines the potential of a neural network (NN) model, whose inputs and structure are automatically selected by means of a genetic algorithm (GA), for the prediction of corporate failure using information drawn from financial statements. The results of this model are compared with those of a linear discriminant analysis (LDA) model. Data from a matched sample of 178 publicly quoted, ...
