Und als Nächstes … IFRS 17

Im vorangegangenen Blogbeitrag bin ich darauf eingegangen, welchen geschäftlichen Nutzen die IFRS-9-Umsetzung für Banken haben kann – abgesehen davon, die Aufsichtsbehörden zufriedenzustellen. Die gleiche Frage stellt sich Versicherern vor dem Hintergrund von IFRS 17. Bis vor Kurzem war die Bilanzierung von Versicherungsverträgen denkbar einfach. Die meisten Accounting-Standards erfordern keine speziellen

Model selection with PROC GLMSELECT

I previously discussed how you can use validation data to choose between a set of competing regression models. In that article, I manually evaluated seven models for a continuous response on the training data and manually chose the model that gave the best predictions for the validation data. Fortunately, SAS

Nachvollziehbarkeit und Vertrauen: Oberste Prämisse für ethische KI-Entscheidungen

Im ersten Teil meines Blogs habe ich argumentiert, dass die Beschäftigung mit künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) und Ethik keine rein philosophische oder gesellschaftspolitische Fragestellung ist. Eines ist klar: Die Ethik-Debatten werden in diesem Jahr weitergehen und sich stärker an den realistischen Möglichkeiten und Risiken von KI orientieren. Unternehmen und Organisationen, die

Model assessment and selection in machine learning

Machine learning differs from classical statistics in the way it assesses and compares competing models. In classical statistics, you use all the data to fit each model. You choose between models by using a statistic (such as AIC, AICC, SBC, ...) that measures both the goodness of fit and the

Visualizing unemployment data, with a band plot

Many areas of the US are experiencing record low unemployment. This is great at the national level, and also great at a personal level (for example, I now have fewer unemployed friends asking to borrow money!) But just how low is the US unemployment rate, and how does it compare
