New boosting approach models insurance claim frequency and severity

Researchers have developed a new boosting approach for fitting structured additive distributional copula regression models. This method is designed to jointly model insurance claim frequency and severity, extending generalized additive models (GAMLSS) to allow multiple distribution parameters to depend on covariates. The proposed framework offers greater transparency and auditability compared to black-box alternatives and has demonstrated competitive predictive performance on synthetic and real-world data. AI

IMPACT This research introduces a more interpretable and transparent method for statistical modeling, potentially improving risk assessment in insurance.

    Joint Distributional Copula Regression for Insurance Claim Frequency and Severity via Boosting

    arXiv:2610.36835v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this paper, we propose a model-based boosting approach for fitting structured additive distributional copula regression models with bivariate responses, focusing particularly on the joint modeling of claim frequency and claim sev…
