Data Science - When Big Data Isn’t an Option

Mark W. Scully Chief Actuary

These days it is impossible to go long without reading somewhere about the promise of “big data” and predictive analytics. Indeed, we live in an age when our personal data is captured and employed by a range of industries to predict behavior, customize product offerings and improve service. In the insurance sector, when we think of “big data,” we typically think of personal lines, conjuring images of vast quantities of personal information on individual insureds, ranging from where we live and what we buy, to how we drive.  What is less well-appreciated is how predictive analytics are transforming the commercial lines industry and how specialty insurers are harnessing these tools to bolster underwriting, pricing and risk evaluation.

However, they are only interested in writing risks at actuarially sound rates.
