| Abstract: | Scaling techniques (hereafter as: sc-ts.) are proposed as a tool for the analysis and prediction of corporate failure (here as: corp-f). This approach, while keeping a strong theoretical basis, has the advantage of visualising the main features of the data in the form of statistical maps that lend themselves to intuitive interpretation. The methodology is demonstrated using a sample of U.K. industrial companies. A future-dated holdout sample is also employed to illustrate how the Multidimensional Scaling technique can aid practitioners when assessing the financial health of a company. |
