摘要: We evaluate the prediction accuracy of models designed using different classification methods depending on technique used to select variables, and we study relationship between structure their ability correctly predict financial failure. show that a neural network based model set variables selected with criterion it is adapted leads better results than chosen criteria in literature. also way which may represent profiles healthy companies plays role Type I error reduction.
