Logistic regression and multiple discriminant analysis in financial distress prediction : the case of selected industries in Malaysia

In the past decades Malaysia recorded progress in its economic development. However, the figure of bankruptcies companies in Malaysia rose because our economic debt has doubled in the past five years. The need to ensure the health of companies in Malaysia is vital in order to reduce the unsecured...
