Accuracy of Claims-Based Risk Scoring Models
The Society of Actuaries is pleased to make available research material that presents the results of a study comparing health risk scoring models. The study builds on prior SOA studies with a similar objective. The material was authored by Geof Hileman and Spenser Steele.
