Exposure inflation vs Exposure inflation18/2/2021 The term exposure inflation can refer to a couple of different phenomena within insurance. A friend mentioned a couple of weeks ago that he was looking up the term in the context of pricing a property cat layer and he stumbled on one of my blog posts where I use the term. Apparently my blog post was one of the top search results, and there wasn’t really much other useful info, but I was actually talking about a different type of exposure inflation, so it wasn’t really helpful for him.
So as a public service announcement, for all those people Googling the term in the future, here are my thoughts on two types of exposure inflation: An Actuary learns Machine Learning - Part 10 - More label encoding / Gradient Boosted Regression15/2/2021 
In which we correct our label encoding method from last time, try out a new algorithm - Gradient Boosted Regression - and finally managed to improve our score (by quite a lot it turns out) Source: https://somewan.design 
In which we set up K-fold Cross Validation to assess model performance, spend quite a while tweaking our model, use hyper-parameter tuning, but then end up not actually improving our model.

In which we deal with those pesky null values, add additional variables to our Random Forest model, but only actually improve our score by a marginal amount. Source: https://somewan.design 
In which we plot an excessive number of graphs, fix our problems with null values, re-run our algorithm, and significantly improve our accuracy. Source: https://somewan.design 
In which we start a new Kaggle challenge, try out a new Python IDE, build our first regression model, but most importantly - make these blog posts look much cleaner. Source: https://somewan.design |
