Centro de Documentación de Fundación MAPFRE - Predictive modeling in long-term care insurance

Notes: Sumario: The accurate prediction of long-term care insurance (LTCI) mortality, lapse, and claim rates is essential when making informed pricing and risk management decisions. Unfortunately, academic literature on the subject is sparse and industry practice is limited by software and time constraints. In this article, it is reviewed current LTCI industry modeling methodology, which is typically Poisson regression with covariate banding/modification and stepwise variable selection. It is tested the claim that covariate banding improves predictive accuracy, examine the potential downfalls of stepwise selection, and contend that the assumptions required for Poisson regression are not appropriate for LTCI data.Related records: En: North American actuarial journal. - Schaumburg : Society of Actuaries, 1997- = ISSN 1092-0277. - 01/06/2016 Tomo 20 Número 2 - 2016 , p. 160-183Materia / lugar / evento: Matemática del seguro Cálculo actuarial Long term care insurance Mortalidad Modelos predictivos Distribución Poisson-Beta Gerencia de riesgos Política de precios Gastos médicos Otros autores: Hartman, Brian M.
