There is universal acceptance of statistics as an essential tool for all types of research. That acceptance and ever-proliferating areas of research specialization have led to corresponding increases in the number and diversity of available statistical procedures. In agricultural research, for example, there are different statistical techniques for crop and animal research, for laboratory and field experiments, for genevic and physiological research, and so on. Although this diversit" indicates the aailability of appropriate statistical techniques for mo..
Although the fully autonomous car is still a little way off for consumers, the related Internet of Things (IOT) technology,within the auto industry, is growing fast. Vehicles today are equipped with IOT devices that transmit vehicle location,speed, fuel consumption, location of filling stations, the need for air in the tires, impending breakdown and more. Thanksto the established field of auto telematics, insurers and customers are getting feedback that informs consumers on howto improve their behaviors, and practices. This provides more accurate driving ..

As insurance executives seek to better manage customers, loss ratios and risk & compliance, while ensuring profitability, actionable analytics is emerging as a critical success factor contributing to industry differentiation.Despite the emergence of technologies and applications in business intelligence and analytics, many insurers still struggle with how to access, integrate and analyze data from a variety of legacy systems. Organizations that are able to leverage analytics will be positioned to achieve a sustainable competitive advantage. In the near f..
Recent economic influences like the national living wage and the low value of the pound are making these margins tighter still, and leaving traditional operating models even more vulnerable to new entrants from all over the world with innovative, online processes tailored to the modern market. But despite these harsh realities, the future still looks bright. This is because modern commerce is driven by data: and retailers have access to large volumes of it. With the potential these days to access significant computing power, they have the ability to harn..
Medicine is no longer a clinical science just supported by data, it’s moving to a field defined as clinical science in collaboration with data science. Patient data is one of the most important drivers of this change. Unlocking the insights contained in patient genomic and phenotypic data is of high value to all the key stakeholders in the health care ecosystem: patients, providers, payers and the life sciences sector. In this paper, we show the methodological tools that can be used to estimate the value of patient data, specifically the data held by the..
Data scientists and actuaries Insurance companies are progressively expecting staff to add data science to their skill sets. Typically, the talent possessed by data scientists combines three qualities: coding, mathematics and statistics, and domain knowledge. Whilst programming allows data transformation and the creation of algorithms, the fundamentals of mathematics facilitate the use of data to develop models and predict future outcomes. Additionally, data scientists require a capacity to interpret actual phenomena and regulation to solve real world pr..
The most important advantage of Machine Learning (ML) to use in Insurance Industry is to facilitate data sets. Machine learning (ML) can be successfully useful across Structured, Semi Structured or Unstructured datasets. Machine learning can be used accurate across the value chain to identify with risk, claims and customer actions, by means of advanced predictive accurateness. The probable applications of machine learning in insurance are plentiful from perceptive risk appetite and premium leakage, to expense administration, subrogation, proceedings and ..
