Identifying Corporate Performance Factors Based on Feature Selection in Statistical Pattern Recognition Methods, Application, Interpretation.

This publication summarizes and extends methodology of feature selection (FS) and pattern recognition in search for competitiveness factors and methodology of corporate financial performance (CFP) measurement. Several methods were evaluated and Dependency-Aware Feature Ranking combined with non-line...
