Grammatical Evolution And Corporate Failure Prediction

چکیده
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 much potential.
