Advanced Analytics and Predictive Modeling in Loss Reserving
|
Description:
Actuaries typically estimate insurance liabilities with models focused on triangle development patterns and other assumptions that comprise standard practice(s) of modern actuarial analyses. Advances in computing technology has led to improvements including stochastic methods, finer segmentation and frequent analysis, but machine learning/predictive methods hold the promise of improved accuracy and reliability. By using machine learning/predictive modeling build on GPU servers, we can expect extraordinary advances that will fundamentally transform actuarial analyses in the years ahead. We will begin with a brief overview of advanced modeling methods to estimate claim level liabilities. We'll also review the challenges of claim level analysis and the benefits of claim triage to identify key characteristics early in the analysis of claims. We will then proceed to a review of a first-generation application of machine learning to actuarial reserve analysis.
Requirements for this opportunity:
- Background knowledge in applied machine learning and R or Python application
