Abstract

Corporate bankruptcy prediction has been an important topic in the accounting and finance field for a long time. Several data mining techniques have been used for bankruptcy prediction. However, there are many limits for application to real classification problem with a single model. This study proposes ensemble SVM (support vector machine) model which assembles different SVM models with each different kernel functions. Our ensemble model is made and evaluated by v-fold cross-validation approach. The k top performing models are recruited into the ensemble. The classification is then carried out using the majority voting opinion of the ensemble. In this paper, we investigate the performance of ensemble SVM classifier in terms of accuracy, error rate, sensitivity, specificity, ROC curve, and AUC to compare with single SVM classifiers based on financial ratios dataset and simulation dataset. The results confirmed the advantages of our method: It is robust while providing good performance.

기업의 부도를 예측하는 것은 회계나 재무 분야에서 중요한 연구주제이다. 지금까지 기업 부도예측을 위해 여러 가지 데이터마이닝 기법들이 적용되었으나 주로 단일 모형을 사용함으로서 복잡한 분류 문제에의 적용에 한계를 갖고 있었다. 본 논문에서는 최근에 각광받고 있는 SVM (support vector machine) 모형들을 결합한 앙상블 SVM 모형 (ensemble SVM model)을 부도예측에 사용하고자 한다. 제안된 앙상블 모형은 v-조각 교차 타당성 (v-fold cross-validation)에 의해 얻어진 여러 가지 모형 중에서 성능이 좋은 상위 k개의 단일 모형으로 구성하고 과반수 투표 방식 (majority voting)을 사용하여 미지의 클래스를 분류한다. 본 논문에서 제안된 앙상블 SVM 모형의 성능을 평가하기 위해 실제 기업의 재무비율 자료와 모의실험자료를 가지고 실험하였고, 실험결과 제안된 앙상블 모형이 여러 가지 평가척도 하에서 단일 SVM 모형들보다 좋은 성능을 보임을 알 수 있었다.
