Improving Explainability of Major Risk Factors in Artificial Neural Networks for Auto Insurance Rate Regulation

open access: yesRisks, 2021
In insurance rate-making, the use of statistical machine learning techniques such as artificial neural networks (ANN) is an emerging approach, and many insurance companies have been using them for pricing.

Random Forest variable importance with missing data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Random Forests are commonly applied for data prediction and interpretation. The latter purpose is supported by variable importance measures that rate the relevance of predictors. Yet existing measures can not be computed when data contains missing values.

Key predisposing factors and susceptibility assessment of landslides along the Yunnan–Tibet traffic corridor, Tibetan plateau: Comparison with the LR, RF, NB, and MLP techniques

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2023
The Yunnan–Tibet traffic corridor runs through the Three Rivers Region, southeastern Tibetan Plateau, which is characterized by high-relief topography and active tectonics, with favourable conditions for landslides.

Danger: High Power! – Exploring the Statistical Properties of a Test for Random Forest Variable Importance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Random forests have become a widely-used predictive model in many scientific disciplines within the past few years. Additionally, they are increasingly popular for assessing variable importance, e.g., in genetics and bioinformatics.

Important Variables in Granulocyte Chemiluminescence

open access: yesExperimental Biology and Medicine, 1979
SummaryA CL system consisting of canine granulocytes stimulated with opsonized zymosan was used to examine factors which lead to variability in light production. Variability of CL response was associated with granulocyte aggregation. Granulocyte aggregation was reduced by: (i) reducing centrifu-gation and mixing forces used to prepare cell suspensions,

Vegetation Fuel Mapping at Regional Scale Using Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, and DEM Derivatives—The Case of the Region of East Macedonia and Thrace, Greece

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2023
The sustainability of Mediterranean ecosystems, even if previously shaped by fire, is threatened by the diverse changes observed in the wildfire regime, in addition to the threat to human security and infrastructure losses. During the two previous years,

Overview of Random Forest Methodology and Practical Guidance with Emphasis on Computational Biology and Bioinformatics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The Random Forest (RF) algorithm by Leo Breiman has become a standard data analysis tool in bioinformatics. It has shown excellent performance in settings where the number of variables is much larger than the number of observations, can cope with ...
