The Use of Machine Learning Algorithms for the Study of Business Profitability: A New Approach Based on Preferences

نویسنده

  • Javier de Andrés
چکیده

In recent years, researchers in the field of Artificial Intelligence have developed a learning technique, namely, preference learning, that is suitable to be used for economic analysis. The present research empirically tests one of these models, which consists of a combination of LACE and RFE algorithms. The problem of forecasting the profitability of Spanish companies upon the basis of a set of financial ratios is used as a benchmark. The model provides forecasted rankings, which are a kind of information that is more useful for the economic analysts than the forecasted class memberships that traditional machine learning techniques provide.
