Abstract

This paper presents a novel soft computing system, SVWNN, to predict failure of banks. First, support vectors that are critical in classification are extracted from support vector machine (SVM). Then, these support vectors along with their corresponding actual output labels are used to train the wavelet neural network (WNN). Further, Garson's algorithm for feature selection is adapted using WNN. Thus, the new hybrid, WNN-SVWNN, accomplishes horizontal and vertical reduction in the dataset as support vectors reduce the pattern space dimension and the WNN-based feature selection reduces the feature space dimension. The effectiveness of these hybrids is demonstrated on the datasets of US, Turkish, UK and Spanish banks. SVWNN outperformed SVM and WNN on all datasets except Spanish banks. However, when feature selection is considered, WNN-SVM outperformed WNN-WNN and WNN-SVWNN on Spanish and Turkish banks, while WNN-SVWNN outscored others on UK banks. Ten-fold cross-validation was performed throughout the study.
