Capacity of Neural Networks and Discriminant Analysis in Classifying Potential Debtors

Identifying potential healthy and unsound customers is an important task. The reduction of loans granted to companies of questionable credibility can influence banks’ performance. A prior identification of factors that affect the condition of companies is a vital element. Among the most commonly use...
