Abstract
This chapter presents a thorough descriptive analysis of automobile fatal accident and insurance claims data. Major components of the artificial neural network (ANN) are discussed, and parameters are investigated and carefully selected to ensure an efficient model construction. A prediction model is constructed through ANN as well as generalized linear model (GLM) for model comparison purposes. The authors conclude that ANN performs better than GLM in predicting data for automobile fatalities data but does not outperform for the insurance claims data because automobile fatalities data has a more complex data structure than the insurance claims data.
