Predicting bankruptcy using neural networks and other classification methods: The influence of variable selection techniques on model accuracy

Abstract: We evaluate the prediction accuracy of models designed using different classification methods depending on the technique used to select variables, and we study the relationship between the structure of the models and their ability to correctly predict financial failure. We show that a neural network based model using a set of variables selected with a criterion that it is adapted to the network leads to better results than a set chosen with criteria used in the financial literature. We also show that the way i… Show more

“…Bármelyikről is legyen szó az említettek közül, abban a tekintetben mindenkép-pen egységesnek tekinthető a szakirodalom, hogy a kutatási terület célja a modellek előrejelző képességének növelése (Du Jardin [2010]). Tanulmányunkban magunk is e célt tűztük magunk elé.…”

“…In order to ensure practical learning of students and understanding the impact of financial ratio on business efficiency, some models assessing the prediction power of financial ratios will be included on the online platform. The models proposed use various prediction techniques: robust logistic regression [14], discriminant analysis [15] [16], data development analysis and multi-layer perception [17], neural networks [18], hazard models [19] [21], logistic models [19][20] [21] and Bayesian models [19] [22]. More models will be grounded based on extensive literature review and the study developed by Bellovary, Giacomino and Akers [22].…”

“…In most general terms artificial neural networks is a nonlinear approach, which combines input data through different layers into a single output. As demonstrated in [20], numerous different approaches have been used for artificial neural network creation, the multilayer perceptron trained using a back-propagation method being most widely applied option. Still, genetic algorithm as method should lead to better results, but is more time consuming [25].…”

“…As different novel methods have positive and negative sides, none of them can directly be considered superior of others. In recent years, a myriad of bankruptcy prediction studies has been conducted based on neural networks (see [20]), which makes it most Predicting Bankruptcy of Manufacturing Firms…”
