Coefficient estimates

All predictors standardised (zero mean, unit variance). Coefficients represent the change in log-odds of non-compliance per 1-SD increase.

Bootstrap vs standard-error comparison

SE Ratio = SEboot / SEMLE. Ratios deviating from 1 indicate where normal-theory asymptotics are inaccurate given the ~400-observation sample.

Odds ratios — per 1-SD increase (95% bootstrap CI)

A ratio >1 means the predictor increases non-compliance probability; <1 decreases it.

Coloured red = p < 0.05 (statistically significant). CIs from 2 000 nonparametric bootstrap replicates.

Distribution of predicted compliance risk

Model-estimated P(non-compliant) across 393 S&P 500 companies.

The bimodal pattern reflects the AAOIFI thresholds: most companies fall clearly on one side of the boundary, with a thin uncertainty band in the middle.

Mean compliance risk by sector

Average predicted P(non-compliant) per GICS sector. Red dashed = 50% threshold.

Risk tier distribution

Companies binned by predicted compliance-risk probability.

137
High
≥ 70% risk
19
Elevated
45–70% risk
18
Moderate
20–45% risk
219
Low
< 20% risk

Bimodal structure: most S&P 500 names resolve firmly as high- or low-risk. The 37 elevated/moderate companies sit in the AAOIFI boundary zone where ratio proximity to thresholds drives meaningful uncertainty.

Model specification

The binary outcome y = 1 if a company is classified non-compliant under AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21; y = 0 if compliant. The logistic model is:

logit P(non-compliant) = β₀ + β₁·debt_ratio* + β₂·interest_ratio* + β₃·receivables_ratio*

* Standardised (zero mean, unit SD) for coefficient comparability. Estimation via IRLS (Iteratively Reweighted Least Squares). Bootstrap inference uses 2 000 nonparametric replicates; bias-corrected estimates (β̂BC) are reported alongside MLE. The high AUC (0.988) and McFadden R² (0.797) reflect the deterministic structure of AAOIFI thresholds — the ratios are the criteria — making this an exact model of the screening rule rather than a predictive approximation.

AAOIFI financial screening thresholds

Ratio Threshold Model coefficient direction
Total debt / market cap < 33% β = 9.251 — largest predictor; OR 4071.318
Interest expense / revenue < 5% β = 4.729 — second largest; OR 79.295
Receivables / market cap < 49% β = 1.157 — third; OR 3.266

Business-screen failures (e.g. alcohol, tobacco, weapons, conventional banking) are excluded from the model because they are not ratio-based. The 110 business-screen fails in the original screen are absent from this model's 393-company sample — those companies had missing financial ratios or were excluded upstream.

Shariah compliance risk tiers

TierP(non-compliant)Interpretation
High≥ 70%Model strongly predicts non-compliance; ratio breaches likely
Elevated45–70%Close to AAOIFI boundary — high sensitivity to ratio changes
Moderate20–45%Some ratio pressure but below threshold; monitor quarterly
Low< 20%Ratios well within AAOIFI limits; low reclassification risk
