Description: This research report introduces Delta Boosting as a new member of the boosting family.

Description: Integrated Assessment Models (IAM) combine scientific scenarios that project changes in greenhouse gas (GHG) levels, resulting in global temperature increases and meteorological volatility when GHG increases, with quantitative economic models expanding on an aligned narrative.

Description: Presenters will address optimal new business written premium mix at the firm and state levels under varying competitive conditions. They will explore the use of mean-variance optimization to determine a company's optimal new business written premium mix for a given geographical area, predicting statewide product mixes using varying rate regulation scenarios, involving profit caps and measuring/testing a market's competitiveness for a given line of business. The scope of the ideas to be presented is international, applying to property, liability, individual and group life; individual and group health; disability and accidental insurance. Examples will be presented for general insurance in the United States

Description: This report provides an exploration of the potential impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on medical malpractice claims, with a focus on one specialty (radiology) and one state (New York). The discussions in this report are targeted to actuaries who are interested in developing a method to quantify the potential impact of AI to their own medical malpractice portfolio or to their own work.

Description: This report concerns optimal new business written premium mix at the firm and state levels under varying competitive conditions.

Description: This research report develops a framework for modeling and pricing cybersecurity risk.

Description: The Spatial Hazards Events and Losses Database for the United States (SHELDUS) provides county-level data for direct economic losses due to natural hazards from 1960 to the present.

Description: This article examines the property losses sustained by homeowners and the economic losses sustained by insurance companies and government agencies due to California wildfires.

Description: To evaluate the risk associated with personal auto coverage, insurers have traditionally relied on information about the driver (such as age, gender and marital status), location (such as territory or ZIP code), the intended use of the vehicle (such as business or pleasure) and information about the vehicle when new (such as original cost). Insurers then added detail to driver information using sophisticated credit scoring and demographic models, and added detail to vehicle use information with telematics and usage-based insurance pricing. Now, insurers are adding detail about the vehicle itself using vehicle history. The presenters will discuss how carriers use vehicle history to more accurately price and underwrite risks. They will discuss obvious data elements, such as salvage title brands, verified average annual mileage and severe damage, as well as data that may not be as obvious but has proven predictive of loss in the past. Finally, using vehicle history as an entry point for UBI programs will be covered.
