Abstract: Financial crisis prediction (FCP) models are used for predicting or forecasting the financial status of a company or financial firm. It is considered a challenging issue in the financial sector. Statistical and machine learning (ML) models can be employed for the design of accurate FCP models. Though numerous works have existed in the literature, it is needed to design effective FCP models adaptable to different datasets. This study designs a new bird swarm algorithm (BSA) with fuzzy min-max neural network (FMM-NN) model, named BSA-FMMNN for FCP. The major intention of the BSA-FMMNN model is to determine the financial status of a firm or company. The presented BSA-FMMNN model primarily undergoes min-max normalization to transform the data into uniformity range. Besides, k-medoid clustering approach is employed for the outlier removal process. Finally, the classification process is carried out using the FMMNN model, and the parameters involved in it are tuned by the use of BSA. The utilization of proficient parameter selection process using BSA demonstrate the novelty of the study. The experimental result analysis of the BSA-FMMNN model is validated using benchmark dataset and the comparative outcomes highlighted the supremacy of the BSA-FMMNN model over the recent approaches.

The financial community, management organizations, and lending organizations are longing to build a theoretical framework or an instrument that would assist in examining the possibility of current avoidance; that is to predict when a business succeeds or fail within a required time [1]. Notwithstanding, avoidance activity works in a stochastic manner, financial data produced is utilized for developing or constructing financial crisis prediction (FCP) system. For instance, it is stated that employing the different variance piece of information methods, discriminative study for classifying bankrupt corporations and funds by working financial data [2]. Financial distress arises because of corrupting responsibility along with insolvent rankings of credit-based assets [3]. Notwithstanding circumvention practice has been employed applied, financial crises guiding the operation FCP method using maximal priority [4]. At the same time, Wang and his co-workers suggested that there are no theories or typical stereotypes that arise for a company’s FCP method. The absence of theories or stereotypes to investigate financial distress for investigative activity for the documentation of extrapolation replicas and discriminative potentials applying error and trial [5]. Researchers and professionals have been attempted to enhance the performance of FCP theoretical stereotypes by the application of distinct quantifiable replicas.
The procedure of FCP is extremely required for demonstrating an early, trustworthy, and accurate prediction method to forecast the important risk of the company's economic condition [6]. Generally, The FCP is taken into account as the binary classification method that is solved in reasonable way. The outcomes of the classification method undertake classification into two types such as failing and non-failing conditions of an organization [7]. Now, various classification methods were introduced by using distinct areas of interest for FCP. machine learning (ML), and Statistics-based methods are widely employed for finding the significant factor of the FCP. In the field of FCP, the ML model is employed in different ways [8]. It is utilized for the structure procedure to validate the methods for the recognition of financial crises. The key assumption is that the financial parameter extracting in the open-accessing financial stamen such as financial ratio includes huge number of information connecting the financial detail and is useful for the FCP method [9]. The FCP is a difficult method for utilizing the connected economic detail and other data regarding the company strategy affordability for active information for constructing a new method. As well as the AI and dataset concept, data mining technique is commonly employed in different fields. In FCP, data mining method is widely accessible in two different ways such as decision-making and early warning systems. It is useful to take appropriate measures for eliminating the financial loss of the organization [10].
This study designs a new bird swarm algorithm (BSA) with fuzzy min-max neural network (FMM-NN) model, named BSA-FMMNN for FCP. The presented BSA-FMMNN model primarily undergoes min-max normalization to transform the data into uniformity range. In addition, k-mediod clustering approach is employed for the outlier removal process. Also, the classification process is carried out using the FMMNN model and the parameters involved in it are tuned by the use of BSA. The experimental result analysis of the BSA-FMMNN model is validated using benchmark dataset.
Junyu [11] employed the information on credit default using an overall sample of 1,000 comprising Germany credit default record and private data. Random forest, XGboost, and Logistic regression have been employed for discovering helpful data behindhand this information. Faris et al. [12] presented a hybrid model which integrates the synthetic minority oversampling method using ensemble models. Furthermore, we applied 5 distinct FS techniques for finding the important characteristics of bankruptcy calculation. The presented method is estimated according to real data gathered from Spanish company. Shetty et al. [13] applied different ML approaches for predicting bankruptcy with simply attainable financial statistics of 3728 Belgian Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) in 2002–2012. With the abovementioned ML approaches, we predicted bankruptcy using a total precision of 82%–83% with three simply attainable financial ratios.
Kim et al. [14] investigated that corporate bankruptcy prediction is enhanced by using the recurrent neural network (RNN) and long short term memory (LSTM) approaches that could process consecutive information. Applying the LSTM and RNN methods enhances bankruptcy predictive efficiency related to other classifier methods including techniques. The authors in [15] developed a DL-based method. This technique integrates Stacked AutoEncoder (SAE) and Borderline Synthetic Minority oversampling approach (BSM) depending upon the Softmax classification. The goal is to propose a reliable and accurate bankruptcy predictive system that involves the feature extraction method. Chen et al. [16] address bankruptcy predictive issue from the perception of learning with label proportion, whereas the unlabelled trained information is given in various bags and gives the bag-level proportion of instance belongs to a certain class. Next, contributed support vector machine (SVM) enabled two predictive systems named Boosted-pSVM and Bagged-pSVM, depending on proportion SVM and ensemble strategy includes boosting and bagging. Muneer et al. [17] introduced a multi-objective squirrel search optimization method using stacked autoencoder (MOSSA-SAE) for FCP in IoT. The aim is to describe the region of nearest neighbors and oversampling rate. Moreover, SAE method is employed as a classifier method for determining the class label of financial information. Simultaneously, the presented approach has been employed for properly selecting the ‘weight’ and ‘bias’ values of the SAE.
This study has developed a new BSA-FMMNN model is to determine the financial status of a firm or company. The presented BSA-FMMNN model involves several subprocesses namely preprocessing, k-medoid clustering based outlier removal, FMMNN based classification, and BSA based parameter optimization. The utilization of proficient parameter selection process using BSA helps to accomplish maximum performance. Fig. 1 illustrates the working process of BSA-FMMNN technique.
To design a proper and effective learning model, it is needed to primarily normalize the input data. In this work, min-max normalization approach is employed as defined in the following.

3.2 K-medoid Clustering Based Outlier Removal
The K-medoid clustering is a statistical technique, used for the removal of outliers existing in the financial data [18]. The traditional K-means technique computes and exploits the mean value of the data points in computation, specifically sensible to the existence of outliers in the financial data. For resolving these issues, a concept of medoid is utilized rather than the mean values in the cluster. Though k-Medoid approach exhibits high computation complexity, the k-medoid clusters are insensitive to the existence of clusters. It can be employed on continuous as well as discrete data domains. It reduces the total of the dissimilarity among the objects that exist in the cluster with the reference objects chosen for the clusters. In general, the input provided is the

3.4 Parameter Tuning Using BSA
In order to tune the parameter values involved in the FMMNN model, the BSA can be employed. The BSA is a biological heuristic technique simulated in bird foraging, vigilance, and flight performance naturally [20].
Foraging behavior: All the birds feed food on the fundamental of personal experiences or group experiences. When the arbitrary number is uniformly distributed amongst zero and one, afterward the bird is foraging for food. Then, the bird is vigilant. As demonstrated by Eq. (7):
where
Vigilance behavior: The birds are attempt for moving to center of groups, and it is inevitably competing with everyone. Their performance is explained by the subsequent equations:
where
Flight behavior: Because of the threat of predators or other reasons, birds are flying to another location for searching for food. In several birds performing as producers, however the other need for getting food from producer. Based on Rule (4), the performance of producers and scroungers are explained in mathematical process that is as follows:
