How Strong Are your Rating Factors? A Life (re)insurance view.

This presentation is a practical mortality demonstration using Generalised Linear Models (GLMs). GLMs provide an approach where rating factor interactions can be analysed, thereby avoiding the dangers of a one way analysis. Keeping theory to a minimum, we consider a practical mortality demonstration, investigating the predictive power of different rating factors and look at the impact when key risk factors are removed from the analysis.
