As part of designing a neural network, we attempt to leverage a genetic algorithm to generate promising multilayer perceptron architectures for predicting credit ratings using Norwegian Corporate Accounts data. In this paper, we therefore investigate the extent to which deep learning can be used to predict corporate credit ratings.

Beyond simple cost reduction, such automation would also give suggestions for ratings from a purely objective perspective compared to the subjectivity of credit rating agencies.


It incorporates a number of additional topics, including application program interfaces (APIs), database management systems, reproducible analysis tools, Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods, and finite mixture models. This edition now covers RStudio, a powerful and easy-to-use interface for R. The book covers many common tasks, such as data management, descriptive summaries, inferential procedures, regression analysis, and graphics, along with more complex applications. Retaining the same accessible format as the popular first edition, SAS and R: Data Management, Statistical Analysis, and Graphics, Second Edition explains how to easily perform an analytical task in both SAS and R, without having to navigate through the extensive, idiosyncratic, and sometimes unwieldy software documentation.
