One way to get better discriminatory power is to use α-blending. A factor of

for bankrupt companies for some of the variables applies to the bulk of the rest of the
data as well, so that variables like CL.TA and Ebit.TA will not be as informative as
might have been hoped. A final step can be to apply α-blending to the highlighting
as well, and this has been tried in Fig.

might be more helpful than at first thought.
