So doing, having read the review of literature, I found a complete list of financial proportions that showed high capabilities the predicting bankruptcy These variables include measures of liquidity, market-based growth, leverage, and variables related to short-term debt obligations.Then, GA and SVM were applied to classify 140 bankrupt and non-bankrupt Iranian firms listed in Tehran stock exchange (TSE) for the period 2004 to 2010.
