| Summary: | The traditional financial distress method normally divided samples into two categories by healthy and bankruptcy. And the financial indicators are typically chosen without using a systematic and reasonable theory. To be more realistic, this paper selected all the companies in a certain industry as the research objects. Twenty-one financial indicators were primarily chosen as the condition attributes, reduction set was obtained by matrix reduction identification based on rough set theory. Then PSO-based clustering algorithm K-means was used to divide subjects into 5 categories of different financial status. The decision-making table was formed with the reduction set using the classification as a decision attribute. Finally, we tested the reasonableness of the classification and generated early warning rules together with rough set theory to evaluate the financial status of listed companies. The results showed that PSO-based K-means algorithm was able to reasonably classify companies, at the same time to overcome the subjective impacts in the artificial measure of financial crisis level. Data generated using this method agreed with the rough set theory for up to 87.0%, thus proving this method to be effective and feasible. |
