Abstract

Bankruptcy prediction has been one of the important research topics in finance since 1960s. In Korea, it has gotten attention from researchers since IMF crisis in 1998. This study aims at proposing a novel model for better bankruptcy prediction by converging three techniques - support vector machine(SVM), fuzzy theory, and genetic algorithm(GA). Our convergence model is basically based on SVM, a classification algorithm enables to predict accurately and to avoid overfitting. It also incorporates fuzzy theory to extend the dimensions of the input variables, and GA to optimize the controlling parameters and feature subset selection. To validate the usefulness of the proposed model, we applied it to H Bank's non-external auditing companies' data. We also experimented six comparative models to validate the superiority of the proposed model. As a result, our model was found to show the best prediction accuracy among the models. Our study is expected to contribute to the relevant literature and practitioners on bankruptcy prediction.

기업부도예측은 재무 분야에 있어 중요한 연구주제 중 하나로 1960년대 이후부터 꾸준히 연구되어져 왔다. 국내의 경우, IMF 사태 이후 기업부도예측에 관한 중요성이 강조되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 보다 정확한 기업부도예측을 위해 높은 예측력과 동시에 과적합화의 문제를 해결한다고 알려진 SVM(Support Vector Machine)을 기반으로 퍼지이론(fuzzy theory)을 활용해 입력변수를 확장하고, 유전자 알고리즘(GA, Genetic Algorithm)을 이용해 유사 혹은 유사최적의 입력변수집합과 파라미터를 탐색하는 새로운 융합모형을 제시한다. 제안모형의 유용성을 검증하기 위하여 H은행의 비외감 중공업 기업 데이터를 이용하여 실험을 수행하였으며, 비교모형으로는 로짓분석, 판별분석, 의사결정나무, 사례기반추론, 인공신경망, SVM을 선정하였다. 실험결과, 제안모형이 모든 비교모형들에 비해 우수한 예측력을 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 우수한 예측 성능을 가진 다기법 융합 모형을 새롭게 제안하여, 부도예측 분야에 학술적, 실무적으로 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
