Combing GLM and Data Mining TechniquesDaniel Finnegan, PresidentISO Innovative Analytics
The Punch Line • Data mining is good at discovery, weak at estimation • Therefore, use data mining inputs as super variables in GLM’s
Data Mining Myths • No assumptions • No need for expert input • One method (ours) is best in for all problems • New method (ours) overcomes all weaknesses of other methods
GLM Myths • Mechanically calculates rates • All purpose solution
Best Practices in Data Mining • Start with experts; • Data • Relationships • Issues • Decompose, analyze • Split sample • Use multiple methods • Reverse engineer results
Best Practices in GLM • Model Structure of Problem • Decisions: • Underwriting vs. Loss • Allowable Choices • Trend • Development Factors • Correlated Losses (Cat) • Structure of Policy • Limits • Deductibles
Best Practices in GLM (Continued) • Use Extensive Diagnostics • Assumptions Tests • Measures of Fit • Subgroup Analysis • Range of Decisions
