Apply Logit analysis in Bankruptcy Prediction
نویسنده
چکیده
-Signs of a potential business bankruptcy are evident well before actual bankruptcy occurs. For managers, creditors, and all other concerned parties this lag allows time to take remedial action. Therefore, building models, which signal approaching financial failure, have been an important part of corporate finance literature, in order to help management refocus their energy, revaluate their corporate strategy and eliminate losses. This paper reviews the literature of bankruptcy prediction and the decision process of Logit analysis. Setting the optimized cut-off point process is employed in this study; and in-sample t test is chosen to examine the selected predictors. A four-variable Logit model, resulting from a forward-stepwise selection procedure, were built up in this study, it correctly predicted 81% with 92% type I error, 70% type II error from 100 matched-samples 1 year prior to bankruptcy.

متن کاملUsing the Gamma Memory Neural Network for Bankruptcy Prediction: a Preliminary Study
Many static neural networks have been studied extensively in financial classification problems. However, dynamic time series predictive classification using neural networks with memory, such as the Gamma Memory neural network (GMNN), may prove more accurate. In this study we compare the predictive accuracy of the GMNN to the Multilayer Perceptron neural network and the statistical approaches of...
