# experience-rating
|

|
|
31
|
+
NCD/bonus-malus systems, experience modification factors, and schedule rating for UK non-life insurance pricing.
|
|
32
|
+
|
|
33
|
+
## The problem
|
|
34
|
+
|
|
35
|
+
Every UK motor insurer runs an NCD system, but almost no one has a clean Python implementation that lets you ask: "what is the steady-state distribution of our book across NCD levels at 10% claim frequency?" or "at what claim amount should a 65% NCD customer absorb the loss rather than claim?". These questions come up in pricing, reserving, and customer communications — and they're currently answered with spreadsheets that break when a colleague changes a tab name.
|
|
36
|
+
|
|
37
|
+
On the commercial side, experience modification factors require getting the credibility weight and ballast right. Too little ballast and a single large loss blows up the mod; too much and you've lost all experience rating signal. This library makes the parameter choices explicit and auditable.
|
|
38
|
+
|
|
39
|
+
## What this library does not do
|
|
40
|
+
|
|
41
|
+
It does not calibrate BM scales from data (that requires a GLM pipeline and historical claims). It does not model policyholder heterogeneity (see the `credibility` library for that). It does not optimise NCD system design — it analyses a system you've already specified.
|
|
42
|
+
|
|
43
|
+
## Installation
|
|
44
|
+
|
|
45
|
+
```bash
|
|
46
|
+
uv add experience-rating
|
|
47

```

|
48

Requires Python 3.10+. Dependencies: `polars`, `numpy`, `scipy`.

### NCD scale and stationary distribution
|
|
54
|
+
|
|
55
|
+
```python
|
|
56
|
+
from experience_rating import BonusMalusScale, BonusMalusSimulator
|
|
57
|
+
|
|
58
|
+
# ABI-style UK motor NCD: levels 0%-65%, step up on claim-free year,
|
|
59
|
+
# back two on one claim, back to zero on two or more claims.
|
|
60
|
+
scale = BonusMalusScale.from_uk_standard()
|
|
61
|
+
|
|
62
|
+
sim = BonusMalusSimulator(scale, claim_frequency=0.10)
|
|
63
|
+
|
|
64
|
+
# Analytical stationary distribution (left eigenvector of transition matrix)
|
|
65
|
+
dist = sim.stationary_distribution(method="analytical")
|
|
66
|
+
print(dist)
|
|
67
|
+
|
|
68
|
+
# Expected premium factor at steady state
|
|
69
|
+
epf = sim.expected_premium_factor()
|
|
70
|
+
print(f"Average NCD at steady state: {(1 - epf) * 100:.1f}%")
|
|
71
|
+
```
|
|
72
|
+
|

### Optimal claiming threshold
|
|
74
|
+
|
|
75
|
+
```python
|
|
76
|
+
from experience_rating import ClaimThreshold

77
|
+
|
|
78
|
+
ct = ClaimThreshold(scale, discount_rate=0.05)
|
|
79
|
+
|
|
80
|
+
# Customer at 65% NCD paying £280/year after discount
|
|
81
|
+
# Over a 3-year horizon, should they claim a £450 repair?
|
|
82
|
+
threshold = ct.threshold(current_level=9, annual_premium=280.0, years_horizon=3)
|
|
83
|
+
print(f"Claim only if loss exceeds £{threshold:.0f}")
|
|
84
|
+
|
|
85
|
+
should = ct.should_claim(
|
|
86
|
+
current_level=9, claim_amount=450, annual_premium=280.0, years_horizon=3
|
|
87
|
+
)
|
|
88
|
+
print("Claiming is rational" if should else "Better to pay out of pocket")

89

## Design notes
|
|
194
|
+
|
|
195
|
+
**Why eigenvector for stationary distribution?** It is exact (no simulation noise) and
|
|
196
|
+
fast. The simulation method exists as a sanity check — if the two disagree by more than
|
|
197
|
+
a few percent, the transition matrix is probably not ergodic.
|
|
198
|
+
|
|
199
|
+
**Why additive schedule rating (not multiplicative)?** UK commercial practice is
|
|
200
|
+
additive: factors are debits/credits expressed as percentage adjustments summed together.
|
|
201
|
+
The aggregate cap is where you control total swing. Multiplicative schedule rating is used
|
|
202
|
+
in some US lines but is not standard in UK admitted business.
|
|
203
|
+
|
|
204
|
+
**Why expose `ballast` directly rather than deriving it?** Because the choice of
|
|
205
|
+
ballast is a deliberate actuarial decision that affects which risks get charged more
|
|
206
|
+
and which get discounted. Hiding it inside a calibration function obscures a
|
|
207
|
+
regulatory-facing choice.

## Design notes
|
|
166
|
+
|
|
167
|
+
**Why eigenvector for stationary distribution?** It is exact (no simulation noise) and
|
|
168
|
+
fast. The simulation method exists as a sanity check — if the two disagree by more than
|
|
169
|
+
a few percent, the transition matrix is probably not ergodic.
|
|
170
|
+
|
|
171
|
+
**Why additive schedule rating (not multiplicative)?** UK commercial practice is
|
|
172
|
+
additive: factors are debits/credits expressed as percentage adjustments summed together.
|
|
173
|
+
The aggregate cap is where you control total swing. Multiplicative schedule rating is used
|
|
174
|
+
in some US lines but is not standard in UK admitted business.
|
|
175
|
+
|
|
176
|
+
**Why expose `ballast` directly rather than deriving it?** Because the choice of
|
|
177
|
+
ballast is a deliberate actuarial decision that affects which risks get charged more
|
|
178
|
+
and which get discounted. Hiding it inside a calibration function obscures a
|
|
179
|
+
regulatory-facing choice.
