Some novel perspectives on risk classification

نویسنده

  • R. G. Thomas
چکیده

I suggest that the terminology of “adverse selection” is unhelpful, because from a public policy viewpoint in many markets adverse selection may not be adverse. I introduce the concept of “loss coverage” as a criterion for risk classification systems. I suggest that public policy should target a socially optimal level of adverse selection, and that in many markets this means maximising the loss coverage.

Proposing a Novel Cost Sensitive Imbalanced Classification Method based on Hybrid of New Fuzzy Cost Assigning Approaches, Fuzzy Clustering and Evolutionary Algorithms

In this paper, a new hybrid methodology is introduced to design a cost-sensitive fuzzy rule-based classification system. A novel cost metric is proposed based on the combination of three different concepts: Entropy, Gini index and DKM criterion. In order to calculate the effective cost of patterns, a hybrid of fuzzy c-means clustering and particle swarm optimization algorithm is utilized. This ...

A Novel Analysis of Risk Sharing Effects on Income Inequality in Informal Insurances

T his study aims to demonstrate that joining in risk sharing network leads to the reduction in incomes volatility. In this respect, income variance for a group of members in an informal insurance is modelled in which income variance prior to joining risk sharing network and after joining is analyzed statistically. A Monte Carlo simulation technique is used to prove the result. To extend an...

A Novel Scheme for Improving Accuracy of KNN Classification Algorithm Based on the New Weighting Technique and Stepwise Feature Selection

K nearest neighbor algorithm is one of the most frequently used techniques in data mining for its integrity and performance. Though the KNN algorithm is highly effective in many cases, it has some essential deficiencies, which affects the classification accuracy of the algorithm. First, the effectiveness of the algorithm is affected by redundant and irrelevant features. Furthermore, this algori...

A novel method based on a combination of deep learning algorithm and fuzzy intelligent functions in order to classification of power quality disturbances in power systems

Automatic classification of power quality disturbances is the foundation to deal with power quality problem. From the traditional point of view, the identification process of power quality disturbances should be divided into three independent stages: signal analysis, feature selection and classification. However, there are some inherent defects in signal analysis and the procedure of manual fe...
