Abstract
AbstractThis paper proposes a new boosting machine based on forward stagewise additive modeling with cost-complexity pruned trees. In the Tweedie case, it deals directly with observed responses, not gradients of the loss function. Trees included in the score progressively reduce to the root-node one, in an adaptive way. The proposed Adaptive Boosting Tree (ABT) machine thus automatically stops at that time, avoiding to resort to the time-consuming cross validation approach. Case studies performed on motor third-party liability insurance claim data demonstrate the performances of the proposed ABT machine for ratemaking, in comparison with regular gradient boosting trees.Keywords: Risk classificationboostinggradient boostingregression treescost-complexity pruning Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
