Discover the power of Penalized Regression and Lasso Credibility in actuarial predictive modeling with CAS Monograph 13. This comprehensive guide addresses the limitations of traditional GLMs, which assume full data credibility, by introducing penalized regression techniques—specifically Lasso Credibility.

With practical case studies, accessible code, and a detailed review of ASOP 25 compliance, this monograph equips actuaries with the tools to create robust, data-efficient models, offering a fresh credibility-centered approach to predictive modeling. #ActuarialReview https://lnkd.in/ek5MKJ49
