  • Abstract
    Based on six financial ratios, a one-hidden-layer back-propagation neural network classifies Dutch non-life insurance companies as strong moderate, or weak. The network shows very good performance for weak and strong companies (95% correct), but completely fails to recognize moderate companies. The relative importance of each input variable is analyzed by calculating the strength of the relationship between each input and each output variable
