Recently, Milliman challenged its actuaries and data scientists to use the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s publicly available database on crash data to model which highway safety factors have the strongest association to crashes that involve one or multiple injuries. Participants, including some from Eckler, Milliman’s associate firm in Canada, used the company’s internal predictive analytics software, SOLYS™, to create four detailed reports, each containing quite different – but valuable – findings.
