From all the events in the life of a business entity, the Mergers and Acquisitions transactions are one of the most challenging ones, as they drastically affect the life of the involved entities, but also their business stakeholders (like clients or suppliers). The Merger transaction can be seen as a growth crisis in the life of the buyer entity and a strive for survival in the life of the acquired company. Studying such transactions are being a constant preoccupation for both academia and practitioners, modeling mergers in order to predict them - one of the most ambitious task. In this paper, we present our technique of cross-validating the results of our model and use several boosting methods for improving the computed decisions scores.
