3 Methods for injury type ratios

Back 1

1. The hazard group injury type ratios (i.e., Vh)
2. The raw sample data injury type ratios (i.e., Vi)
3. The injury type ratios resulting from the credibility procedure (i.e., vi est)

Holdout Sample

Back 2

Split a data set into 2 parts; 1 part used as the sample for analysis, and 1 part used as a holdout sample for testing the results of analysis.

Front 3

Reasons Couret & Venter give why initial SSE test didn't show much improvement for their procedures

Back 3

1. Estimators derived from the even year data are designed to fit that data.
2. Class data by year is volatile.

Quintiles Test Steps

Back 4

1. Sort the injury type relativities produced by the credibility procedure for all classes in increasing order (i.e., the vi est). We will use these to classify classes into quantiles.
2. Group the classes into 5 groups (quintiles) based on the sorted relativities. The size of the quintiles should be set so that each quintile has about the same number of TT claims. Note that the same class can be in different quintiles for different injury types.
3. Calculate the average injury type relativity for the classes in each quintile, and divide this by the injury type relativity for the hazard group. Do this step for each of the 3 methods and for the holdout sample using their respecive relativities. Note that for the hazard group method, this will equal '1' for all quintiles, since it assumes the same injury type ratios for all classes within the hazard group.
4. Calculate the SSE for each of the 3 methods.
5. The method that produces the lowest SSE is deemed best, and you would use this method's injury type ratio for that particular injury for that particular class.
