Project Abstract

Abstract
Predictive modeling has become an essential tool in the insurance industry to assess and manage risks effectively. This research project focuses on developing a predictive model for insurance claims severity, aiming to enhance the accuracy of predicting the financial impact of insurance claims. The study will utilize advanced statistical techniques and machine learning algorithms to analyze historical claims data and identify patterns that can help predict the severity of future claims. The research begins with an introduction that outlines the importance of predictive modeling in the insurance sector and sets the context for the study. The background of the study provides a comprehensive overview of the existing literature on predictive modeling for insurance claims severity, highlighting the gaps in current research that this study seeks to address. The problem statement identifies the challenges faced by insurance companies in accurately predicting claims severity and emphasizes the need for more sophisticated predictive models. The objectives of the study are to develop a predictive model that can accurately forecast the severity of insurance claims, improve the efficiency of claims management processes, and ultimately reduce financial losses for insurance companies. The limitations of the study are also acknowledged, including data availability constraints and potential biases in the historical claims data. The scope of the study encompasses the development and validation of the predictive model using a specific dataset provided by an insurance company. The significance of the study lies in its potential to enhance risk assessment practices in the insurance industry, leading to more informed decision-making and improved financial outcomes for insurers. The structure of the research is organized into five chapters Introduction, Literature Review, Research Methodology, Discussion of Findings, and Conclusion. The literature review chapter will examine existing research on predictive modeling for insurance claims severity, focusing on the key methodologies and findings in this field. The research methodology chapter will detail the data collection process, model development procedures, and validation techniques employed in the study. The discussion of findings chapter will present the results of the predictive model, highlighting its accuracy in predicting insurance claims severity and comparing it to existing models. The conclusion chapter will summarize the research findings, discuss their implications for the insurance industry, and suggest areas for future research in predictive modeling for insurance claims severity. Overall, this research project aims to contribute to the advancement of predictive modeling techniques in the insurance sector and provide valuable insights for insurance companies looking to improve their risk management practices and enhance financial performance.
