Agenda Data and information Predictive Analytics Actuarial Philosophy, Risks and Methods Application of Results Importance of Business Predictions From Predictive to Prescriptive

Data and Information A. Definitions Data definition facts and statistics collected together for reference or analysis Information in raw or unorganized form (such as alphabets, numbers, or symbols) that refer to, or represent, conditions, ideas, or objects Information definition facts provided or learned about something or someone The result of applying data processing to data, giving it context and meaning

Data and Information B. Sources Internal External Hardcopy files Customer database on IT platform External Published Financial Statements Media – print or digital Government/Regulatory publications

Data and Information C. Importance in Insurance Absence of data/information crumbles an insurance company Complete and accurate data/information may give an insurance company competitive edge when correctly put to appropriate plus good use D. Uses in Insurance Pricing Profit testing Liability Reserving or Provisioning Solvency Assessment – or Financial Soundness Decision Making

Data and Information

Predictive Analytics A. Definition Predictive analytics is the branch of the advanced analytics which is used to make predictions about unknown future events. Predictive analytics uses many techniques from data mining, statistics, modelling, machine learning, and artificial intelligence to analyze current data to make predictions about future.

Predictive Analytics B. Key Predictive Analytics blocks: Data mine Statistics or data analysis e.g. average, minimum, maximum, mode, median, standard deviation Modelling or data manipulations/calculations Machine learning & Artificial Intelligence or use of technology i.e. computers Future predictions or estimations or projections

Predictive Analytics C. Use of History to Predict Future Predictive Analytics uses technology to predict the future and influence it. Organizations can use historical performance data to extrapolate and make predictions about the future and take actions that would affect those results.

Predictive Analytics

Actuarial Philosophy, Risks and Methods A. Actuarial Philosophy Making sense of the future using history and present experience Encompasses: Descriptive analytics – data collection & analysis Diagnostic analytics – assumptions setting Predictive analytics – modelling/calculations Prescriptive analytics – recommendations

Actuarial Philosophy, Risks and Methods B. Actuarial Risks Those risks with complexities e.g. uncertainty of when event will take place (insurance – both life & short term) or due to length of time (pensions) or matrix of severity and frequency (short-term insurance) e.t.c. Mortality risk in life insurance Longevity risk in pensions or employee benefits Disability risk in health and care Reserving/Provisioning risk in short term insurance

Actuarial Philosophy, Risks and Methods C. Actuarial Methods Well established – tried and tested However there’s development and growth in methods used Common methods are: Deterministic (statistical, probabilistic and mathematical) Stochastic (random events modelling)

Importance of Business Predictions

From Predictive to Prescriptive Predictive analytics shouldn’t be seen as the end goal for your organization, but as a single step in a longer journey. Most companies use descriptive analytics to help them process immediate, incoming data. Predictive analytics can be seen as the next logical step, allowing you to apply that data to make predictions about when something might go wrong and why. Of course, the job isn’t over once you’ve made this forecast — by building the predictive data into concrete solutions for future problems, your predictive analytics become prescriptive
