69É«ÇéƬ shares basic steps insurers can take to prevent overfitting for more accurate predictive models.
Ever-increasing computing power allows analysts to manipulate data and build models from both small and large datasets more quickly and more effectively than ever before. Yet these enhanced capabilities also come with a greater number of choices and greater exposure to building models that overfit the data.
