Most previous research related to this topic focused on manufacturing companies and relied heavily on corporate assets. The asset size of a manufacturing company plays a vital role in traditional research methods; Altman’s Z score model is one such traditional method. However, very limited number of research studied corporate failure prediction for nonmanufacturing companies as the operational status of such companies is not solely correlated to their assets. In this manuscript we use support vector machines (SVMs) and data envelopment analysis (DEA) to provide a new method for predicting corporate failure of nonmanufacturing firms. We first generate efficiency scores using a slack-based measure (SBM) DEA model, using the recent three years historical data of nonmanufacturing firms; then we used SVMs to classify bankrupt firms and healthy ones. We show that using DEA scores as the only inputs into SVMs predict corporate failure more accurately than using the entire raw data available., Workshop 2015 -Advances in DEA Theory and Applications (December 1-2, 2015)}, pages = {11--20}, publisher = {出版社不明}, title = {Combining Support Vector Machine and Data Envelopment Analysis to Predict Corporate Failure for Nonmanufacturing Firms}, year = {2015} }
