In this paper we use Kohonen's Self-Organizing Map (SOM) for surveying the financial status of Spanish companies. From it, we infer which are the most relevant variables, so that a fast diagnostic on their status can be reached and, besides, explained via a few rules of thumb extracted from the behavior of those variables. This map can be used as part of a decision making process, or as a first stage in an automatic classification tool. Results show that variables, identified in an easy and visual way (using SOM and U-Matrix graph), are in agreement with those obtained using parametric and non-parametric tests, which are more complex and difficult to apply. |
