Feed: R-bloggers. Author: Keith Goldfeld. I was recently contacted to see if simstudy can create a data set of correlated outcomes that are measured over time, but at different intervals for each individual. The quick answer is there is no specific function to do this. However, if you are willing to assume an “exchangeable” correlation structure, where measurements far apart in time are just as correlated as measurements taken close together, then you could just generate individual-level random effects (intercepts and/or slopes) and pretty much call it a day. Unfortunately, the researcher had something more challenging in mind: he wanted ... Read More

Als Versicherungsvertreter verkörperte er Vertrauen, Nähe und Fairness. Egal ob Unfall-, Sach-, Haftpflicht- oder Kfz-Versicherung: Günter Kaiser wusste, was Sache ist.

Sie müssen sich, wie es The Boston Consulting Group in ihrem Bericht über die wachsende Bedeutung der Preisgestaltung formuliert, „mit besseren und dynamischeren Preisen ... Read More

Feed: SAS Blogs. Author: Alena Tsishchanka. In my previous post, I suggested that it was possible to provide a road map that would help with the introduction of artificial intelligence, advanced analytics and machine learning into insurance companies. This post outlines the process. Start at the beginning The first area to address is applications where the adoption of analytics will have an immediate impact on cost reduction and efficiency. The obvious point is process automation. In many insurance companies, the first projects involving advanced analytics and machine learning models are the digitisation and optimisation of processes. These projects tend to ... Read More

However, security is an issue, which is why we’ll discuss the most secure email providers here. The problem with email is simple. It’s dated protocols are vulnerable to cybercriminals who can use your account to send spam, hack into other online accounts or wipe ... Read More
