Abstract: | The amount of financial information in today's sophisticated large data bases is substantial and makes comparisons between company performance -- especially over time -- difficult or at least very time consuming. The aim of this paper is to investigate whether neural networks in the form of self-organizing maps can be used to manage the complexity in large data bases. The authors structure and analyze accounting numbers in a large data base over several time period. |
