Frequency and severity modelling
Generalised linear models relate claim frequency and severity to risk factors, with offsets for exposure, so the contribution of each factor and its uncertainty can be read and reviewed.

Spatial financeWhere capital meets hazard, exposure and transition
Probability and statistics provide the language of insurance: frequency and severity, dependence, credibility and uncertainty. They make assumptions explicit, test them against experience, and show how much confidence any estimate of loss deserves, from a single portfolio’s claim frequency to a national estimate of how many households are uninsured.
Probability and statistics provide the mathematical framework for describing uncertainty and learning from data. They underpin estimation, testing and prediction in every risk discipline. In insurance and catastrophe, climate and hazards and health and biosecurity, statistical methods quantify the likelihood and uncertainty of losses across interconnected pergalan. They make the evidence behind risk decisions explicit and reproducible. The canonical description is on the STEM Commons.
Generalised linear models relate claim frequency and severity to risk factors, with offsets for exposure, so the contribution of each factor and its uncertainty can be read and reviewed.
Prior assumptions from industry or benchmark data are updated with an insurer’s own experience, giving posterior estimates that state how far the data have moved the assumption.
Household surveys on insurance take-up are designed and weighted so that estimates of uninsured shares represent the population, and their sampling error is reported with them.
The loss a portfolio in the footprint can expect per year and at the 1 in 100 and 1 in 250 levels that insurers and lenders price, from the same three blocks every catastrophe model uses. Teaching model with stated illustrative values, not a prediction.

The exposure, loss, scenario and capital views a risk officer, supervisor or ministry of finance would ask for, with the frameworks they report against. Structures follow supervisory and actuarial practice. Values are illustrative: never prices, ratings or advice.

Results are checked through diagnostics, cross-validation and sensitivity to assumptions. Independent replication confirms findings.
| Kontrol bikin | How it is done |
|---|---|
| Out-of-sample validation | Models are fitted on one period or segment and tested on another; only test performance is reported |
| Residual diagnostics | Residuals are inspected for structure the model has missed, such as trends or clustering |
| Sensitivity to assumptions | Independence, distribution and sampling assumptions are varied and the effect on the result is stated |
Inference depends on assumptions about independence, distribution and sampling that may not hold. Small or biased samples limit reliability.
