Abstract

A research on credit risk evaluation modelling using linear Support Vector Machines (SVM) classifiers is proposed in this paper. The classifier selection is automated using Particle Swarm Optimization technique. Sliding window approach is applied for testing classifier performance, together with other techniques such as discriminant analysis based scoring for evaluation of financial instances and correlation-based feature selection. The developed classifier is applied and tested on real bankruptcy data showing promising results.
