Selection of Support Vector Machines based classifiers for credit risk domain

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose an approach combining feature selection, classification and sliding window testing.

• We propose a technique based on linear Support Vector Machines and particle swarm optimization.

• Proposed technique is also focused on imbalanced learning.

• Proposed technique can be useful to identify “risky” companies which are represented as “minority” in imbalanced datasets.

• Experiment is performed on real world financial dataset from SEC EDGAR database.
