Bank failure prediction using an accurate and interpretable neural fuzzy inference system

Bank failure prediction is an important study for regulators in the banking industry because the failure of a bank leads to devastating consequences. If bank failures are correctly predicted, early warnings can be sent to the responsible authorities for precaution purposes. Therefore, a reliable ban...

If bank failures are correctly predicted, early warnings can be sent to the responsible authorities for precaution purposes. Therefore, a reliable bank failure prediction or early warning system is invaluable to avoid adverse repercussion effects on other banks and to prevent drastic confidence losses in the society. In this paper, we propose a novel self-organizing neural fuzzy inference system, which functions as an early warning system of bank failures.
