In recent years, we have observed rapid progress in research on data mining using rough sets. Rough set theory, invented by Zdzislaw Pawlak in 1982, is especially well-suited for research in data mining and related areas such as granular computing, intelligent information systems, nonclassical logic

โฆ Synopsis
ABSTRACT
In this study, new variants of genetic programming (GP), namely gene expression programming (GEP) and multiโexpression programming (MEP), are utilized to build models for bankruptcy prediction. Generalized relationships are obtained to classify samples of 136 bankrupt and nonโbankrupt Iranian corporations based on their financial ratios. An important contribution of this paper is to identify the effective predictive financial ratios on the basis of an extensive bankruptcy prediction literature review and upon a sequential feature selection analysis. The predictive performance of the GEP and MEP forecasting methods is compared with the performance of traditional statistical methods and a generalized regression neural network. The proposed GEP and MEP models are effectively capable of classifying bankrupt and nonโbankrupt firms and outperform the models developed using other methods.
