A sample of solvent and insolvent retail companies is used to develop a discriminant function. This discriminant function will yield a discriminant score for each of the firms in the sample. Using the discriminant scores of each of [the] firms in the sample, it will be possible to predict corporate bankruptcy for other retail firms by comparing discriminant scores to those in the sample."--Author's Abstract.
