NEW YORK-Friday 8 April 2022 [ AETOS Wire ]

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Akur8 released today a new research paper for the actuarial community entitled “Credibility and Penalized Regression.” Developed by a senior team of actuaries and data scientists at Akur8, the purpose of this new paper is to provide practitioners with key concepts and intuitions that demonstrate how Penalized regression blends Generalized Linear Models (GLMs) with Credibility-like assumptions.

In recent years a number of adaptations to GLMs have been developed to address some limitations, such as their inability to incorporate Credibility-like assumptions. These adaptations are widely adopted within the Machine Learning community, however they have not been very popular within the actuarial world. Credibility methods and GLMs are part of the standard actuarial toolkit of predictive modeling, but the actuarial literature describing how Penalized regression blends Credibility with GLMs is not eq ...
