Automobile Insurance Claims

Description

Claims experience from a large midwestern (US) property and casualty insurer for private passenger automobile insurance. The dependent variable is the amount paid on a closed claim, in (US) dollars (claims that were not closed by year end are handled separately). Insurers categorize policyholders according to a risk classification system. This insurer's risk classification system is based on automobile operator characteristics and vehicle characteristics, and these factors are summarized by the risk class categorical variable CLASS.
