Abstract

In this paper, a hybrid intelligent system, combining kernel principal component analysis (KPCA) and wavelet support vector machine (WSVM), is applied to the study of predicting financial distress. KPCA method is used as a preprocessor of classifier to extract the nonlinear features of input variables. Then a method that generates wavelet kernel function of the SVM is proposed based on the theory of wavelet frame and the condition of the SVM kernel function. The Mexican Hat wavelet is selected to construct the SVM kernel function and form the wavelet support vector machine (WSVM). The effectiveness of the proposed model is verified by experiments through the contrast of the results of SVMs with different kernel functions and other models.
