Loss Reserving

Loss reserving, the process of estimating future insurance claim payouts, aims to accurately predict outstanding liabilities and ensure financial stability. Recent research emphasizes improving prediction accuracy by incorporating granular claim-level data and leveraging advanced machine learning techniques, such as recurrent neural networks (including LSTMs) and Bayesian model averaging with LASSO, to better capture both temporal patterns and model uncertainty. These advancements address limitations of traditional aggregate methods, leading to more robust and reliable loss reserve estimations with better quantification of uncertainty. This improved accuracy has significant implications for insurance companies' solvency, pricing strategies, and regulatory compliance.
