Abstract:
A method for rating insurance products using a programmed computer system having steps including receiving a coordinate pair comprising a longitude and a latitude of a location; determining a target coordinate grid block by truncating a decimal representation of the longitude and latitude of the location; querying a database for a first set of existing data associated with the target coordinate grid block, wherein the existing data was associated with the target coordinate grid block prior to receiving the coordinate pair; setting a ring counter to an initial value; determining a current ring of coordinate grid blocks grid adjacent to and surrounding the target grid block; querying the database for a second set of existing data associated with each coordinate grid block in the current ring of coordinate grid blocks; and calculating a pure premium based on constant values and an analysis of the data in the first set and the second set.
Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for providing an insurance rate associated with a particular location may include: storing insurance-related data associated with each of a plurality of geographic areas, determining a particular geographic area corresponding with the particular location, retrieving from storage insurance-related data associated with a subset of the geographic areas, calculating a credibility factor based on the quantity of the retrieved insurance-related data, determining that the credibility factor is below a target credibility threshold, and, in response to determining that the credibility factor is below the target credibility threshold, increasing the subset of geographic areas, retrieving from storage insurance-related data for the increased subset of geographic areas, calculating an updated credibility factor that meets or exceeds the target credibility threshold, calculating an insurance rate based at least on the retrieved insurance-related data associated with the increased subset of geographic areas, and communicating the calculated insurance rate to a user.
Abstract:
A method for rating insurance products using a programmed computer system comprising: receiving a coordinate pair comprising a longitude and a latitude of a location; determining a target coordinate grid block bounded by latitude and longitude lines, which grid block is associated with the coordinate pair; querying a database for a first set of existing data associated with the target coordinate grid block, wherein the existing data was associated with the target coordinate grid block prior to receiving the coordinate pair; querying a database for a second set of existing data associated with a regulator, which regulates insurance policies in a geographic area comprising the location; and calculating a pure premium based on constant values and an analysis of the data in the first set and the second set.
Abstract:
A computer readable medium containing a set of computer readable instructions that when loaded into a computer configure that computer to: receive demographic data, fire station data, or other data associated with a location; receive a coordinate pair including a longitude and latitude of a location; determine a coordinate grid block bounded by latitude and longitude lines, which grid block is associated with the coordinate pair; query a database for a plurality of existing data associated with the coordinate grid block; and determine a rate based at least in part on the plurality of existing data and the demographic data, fire station data, or other data associated with a location.
