6 Generalized Linear Models 6
7 Basics of Insurance Insurance companies sell the product of insurance policies, which are the promise to pay in the event that a customer experiences a loss. The unique challenge in insurance is that we don t know what the cost of insuring a customer is when we sell the policy. Example: The cost to insure an auto customer It s impossible to predict if someone is going to Get into an accident The type of accident (hit a telephone pole, hit another vehicle, bodily injury) How bad (cost) the accident will be 7
8 Business Impact of Loss Experience To estimate the cost of insuring policyholders, we must predict losses Two fundamental questions we must answer are: 1. Ratemaking: looking to the future Setting rates for policies How much do we need to charge customers for a policy in order to reach our target profit? Basic idea: price = cost + profit 2. Reserving: looking at the impact of past experience Setting aside reserve money How much money do we need to set aside to pay for claims? Note: We cannot predict losses for each individual. However, if we group our customers together, we can build statistical models to predict average loss over a group. 8
9 First Model Attempt: Multiple Linear Regression / Ordinary Least Squares E[Y] = a 0 + a 1 X a n X n Goal: Fit a linear relationship between the predictors (X 1,, X n ) and the response variable Y. Y, the response Assumptions: 1. Y is normally distributed. 2. The variance of Y is constant. X, the predictor Approach: The parameters (a 0, a 1,, a n ) can be estimated by minimizing the sum of squared errors. 9
10 Oops - DON T assume Y is normally distributed In insurance, we study loss experience in terms of claims. Two aspects of claims must be considered. 1. Frequency: what is the rate that claims are being made? 2. Severity: what is the average size of claim? The underlying distribution in the model depends on what aspect of the loss experience we re investigating. 10
11 Double Oops - DON T assume the Variance of Y is constant Varies by expected loss. High frequency losses have less variance. High severity losses have more variance. 11
12 DO assume an exponential family distribution for Y Note: Non-normal distributions are more suited to highly skewed claim data Poisson - claim frequency Discrete distribution Time-invariant Variance equals mean (m = E[Y]) Gamma - severity Continuous distribution Variance equals mean squared (m 2 = E[Y] 2 ) Gamma Distribution Source: Gamma Distribution, Wikipedia 12
13 Suitable Model Framework: Generalized Linear Models (GLMs) E[Y] = g -1 (a 0 + a 1 X a n X n ) where g(x) is the link function. Goal: fit a non-linear relationship between the predictors (X 1,, X n ) and the response variable Y. Assumptions: 1. Y can be from any exponential family of distributions. 2. Variance depends on expected mean. Approach: The parameters (a 0, a 1,, a n ) can be estimated using maximum likelihood when underlying distribution is fixed.

17 Over-fitting 17
18 DON T Underfit First let s start with under-fitting Expected Auto Claim Frequency: 5% Expected Auto Loss: $10,000 Expected Premium = 5% * $10,000 = $500 Competitors use a segmented rate plan What happens next? We will win all of the business where competitors charge more than $500 We lose all of the business where competitors charge less than $500 Now why would a competitor want to charge more than the average? Hmmm perhaps we need a better approach 18
19 Occam s Razor / Principle of Parsimony 19
20 However, DON T Overfit A noisy model = similar problems to under-fitting Some things you might use to look at fit: Summary Statistics (R 2, AIC, BIC) Deviance Tests / Type III P-value / Parameter Estimate Standard Errors ROC / Lift / Gain Charts However, let s keep our eyes on the prize: We want our model to perform well on future data! 20
