Using a number of financial, market, corporate governance, macro-economic and other indicators as explanatory variables, we compare classifiers ranging from conventional techniques (such as logit/probit and LDA) to fully nonlinear classifiers, including neural networks, support vector machines and more recent statistical learning techniques such as generalised boosting, AdaBoost and random forests. We find that the newer classifiers significantly outperform all other classifiers on both the cross sectional and longitudinal test samples; and prove remarkably robust to different data structures and assumptions. Simple linear classifiers such as logit/probit and LDA are found nonetheless to predict quite accurately on the test samples, in some cases performing comparably well to more flexible model structures. We conclude that simpler classifiers can be viable alternatives to more sophisticated approaches, particularly if interpretability is an important objective of the modelling exercise. We also suggest effective ways to enhance the predictive performance of many of the binary classifiers examined in this study. تاریخ ثبت: 1394/11/19 تعداد مطالعه: 318 تعداد دریافت: 1 حجم فایل : 730.53 KB گروه: دوره 56 ماه July دریافت فایل: همراه با تیم: عضویت طرح فیروزه کارتابل(میزکار) همراهان تیم دعوت از دوستان همگام با تیم:عضویت طرح یاقوت همیار با تیم: عضویت طرح زمرد همکار با تیم: عضویت ویژه الماس جستجو یار مالی شغلی مترجم یار مالی حسابداری تور مجازی ارتباط با تیم اجرایی دیدگاه کاربران نام: پست الکترونیک: * متن: * کد امنیتی: *
