Application of Mahalanobis-Taguchi System for Corporate Profits Forcast

Abstract

In a previous issue, the author reported that MTS can be used to diagnose corporate performance. This paper reports the results of forecasting, not diagnosing,the profit for the coming year of a company. The base space and types of items to be used as factors were reviewed again. Ordinarily performed companies were selected to construct a base space. It was found that the forecasting ability can be improved by collecting the data of the past two years.
