An early warning of corporate financial crises has long been the focus of investors and enterprises. Integrated early warning models for financial crises perform better than normal models, but most integrated models are very complex, elusive and computationally time-consuming. This paper aims to simplify the early warning model for financial crises by collecting and analyzing the financial data of Chinese special treatment (ST) companies, normally listed companies and cancel special treatment (CST) companies. To further predict the financial risks of companies, we put forward a finance-predicting model based on the k-means++ algorithm and an improved radial basis function neural network (RBF NN), and we compare their respective statistics. We indicate by experiment that combining k-means++ with the improved RBF NN helps to better predict financial risks for companies, which is effective in the risk control of financial management.

Understanding and quantifying the model risk inherent in loss projection models used in the macroeconomic stress testing and impairment estimation is of significant concern for both banks and regulators. The application of relative entropy techniques allow model misspecification robustness to be numerically quantified using exponential tilting towards an alternative probability law. Using a particular loss forecasting model we quantify the model worst-case loss term-structures to yield insight into the behavior of the worst-case. The worst-case obtained represents in general an upward scaling of the term-structure consistent with the exponential tilting adjustment. The relative entropy approach to model risk we use has its foundation in economics with robust forecasting analysis and has recently started to be applied in risk management. The technique can complement the traditional model risk quantification techniques where a specific direction or range of model misspecification reasons are usually considered, such as, model sensitivity analysis, model parameter uncertainty analysis, competing models, and, conservative model assumptions.

The estimation of portfolio value-at-risk (VaR) requires a good estimate of the covariance matrix. As it is well known that a sample covariance matrix based on some historical rolling window is noisy and is a poor estimate for the high-dimensional population covariance matrix, to estimate the conditional portfolio VaR we develop a framework using the dynamic conditional covariance model, within which various de-noising tools are employed for the estimation of the unconditional covariance target. Various de-noising treatments in our study include shrinkage methods, random matrix theory methods and regularization methods. We validate the model empirically by using various coverage tests and loss function measures and discover that the choice of de-noising treatments for the covariance target plays a critical role in measuring the accuracy of the dynamic portfolio VaR estimates. In our large-scale empirical evaluation of de-noising tools, the regularization methods seem to produce the poorest VaR estimates under various coverage tests and loss function measures, while the shrinkage methods and the random matrix theory methods produce comparable results.
