A neural network application for bankruptcy prediction

Abstract: Specifically,we discuss an application of the back error propagation network for making bankruptcy prediction decisions. Results of simulations with one and two hidden layers with varying nodes are presented. It is observed that the configuration with two hidden layers had a superior classification accuracy compared to the one with a single hidden layer. Based on the initial results it appears that neural network algorithms can be investigated further as potential models for bankruptcy prediction.

“…For example, Raghupathi et al [48] In order to detect maximal dierence between bankrupt and nonbankrupt ®rms, many studies employ matched samples based on some common characteristics in their data collection process. Characteristics used for this purpose include asset or capital size and sales [19,36,63], industry category or economic sector [48], geographic location [55], number of branches, age, and charter status [61]. This sample selection procedure implies that sample mixture ratio of bankrupt to nonbankrupt ®rms is 50% to 50%.…”

“…They ®nd that GANNA and backpropagation algorithm are comparable in terms of the predictive capability but GANNA saves them time and eort in building an appropriate network structure. Raghupathi [47] conducts an exploratory study to compare eight alternative neural network training algorithms in the domains of bankruptcy prediction. He ®nds that the Madaline algorithm is the best in terms of correct classi®cations.…”

“…The results are associated with the findings of Odom & Sharda (1990) and Raghupathi & Schkade and Raju (1991), Koh & Tan (1999) and Charitou et al (2004). They also found that the models developed with neural networks (NN) can achieve a better classification accuracy rate than other statistical methods.…”

“…The list basically mirrors the financial items suggested by Altman plus the current ratio (Current Assets / Current Liabilities). This additional variable is supposed to be a good indicator of short-term solvency and has also been used in the past [13,14].…”

“…The group that showed solvency issues was identified using COMPU-STAT, and it includes all the companies for which all the required information was available. However, it excludes utilities, financial services and transportation companies since they are structurally different and have bankruptcy environments that are different from the rest [14]. The date of bankruptcy filings was obtained through inspection of documents filed in the Securities and Exchange Commission and accessible through the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval System (EDGAR).…”
