In this study we tried to compare two models in order to identify optimal neural networks models in predicting bankruptcy. Multi-layered perceptron (MLP) because of easy training and high efficiency and also integrated multi-layered perceptron (most used neural network in predicting bankruptcy)...

Bankruptcy filings are as high today as ever, calling into question the efficacy of existing bankruptcy prediction models. This paper tries to provide an alternative for bankruptcy prediction by integrated Multi Layered Perceptron with Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (MLP-ICA) and Kohonen self...
