Application of the Generalized Linear Models in Actuarial Framework

Abstract

This paper aims to review the methodology behind the generalized linear models which are used in analyzing the actuarial situations instead of the ordinary multiple linear regression. We introduce how to assess the adequacy of the model which includes comparing nested models using the deviance and the scaled deviance. The Akiake information criterion is proposed as a comprehensive tool for selecting the adequate model. We model a simple automobile portfolio using the generalized linear models, and use the best chosen model to predict the number of claims made by the policyholders in the portfolio.
