Explanation of how the SXI algorithm identified the important features:
The SXI algorithm uses feature importance scores to rank the contribution of each feature to the model's predictive accuracy. The most important features, such as "Average Quick Ratio" (18.92) and "Average ARPU" (18.52), have the highest scores, indicating their significant role in distinguishing between "Not Default" and "Default" outcomes. Other features like "Average Logo Growth MoM" and "Average Current Ratio" also contribute to the prediction based on their respective importance scores. These scores are derived from the algorithm's analysis of the variance explained by each feature during model training.
Explanation of the accuracy of the threshold values:
The thresholds identified in the decision tree are highly accurate, as indicated by their associated probabilities. For example, the "Default" path for "Average Company ARR >= $51,281,518" has a 100% probability, reflecting strong predictive confidence. Similarly, the "Not Default" path with "Average Quick Ratio >= 0.145" has a 90.69% probability, suggesting a reliable classification. The probabilities highlight the thresholds' ability to segment the data effectively and predict outcomes accurately.
Reliability of the thresholds:
The thresholds identified are reliable, given their strong probabilistic associations. Features like "Average Company ARR" and "Average Quick Ratio" consistently differentiate between "Default" and "Not Default" across various ranges. However, the slightly lower probability (86.66%) for "Average Debt to Equity Ratio >= 0.42" suggests it may be less robust than other thresholds. These thresholds can be considered reliable for decision-making, especially when combined with the SXI algorithm's insights to ensure comprehensive predictions.
