glm model for severity

[ishakamboj1230]

hi i am using insurance dataset to model severity using Generalized linear model . so  please  suggest me what are the available models used for  severity in sas for GLMs

You should explain what severity means in terms of your available data. This is likely a topic that has many definitions and specific industries or even your organization may have a different take than others.

i am using motor insurance data , the claim severity is given to me in that data set. based on that i have to model severity. data base is attached with question , i have tried  proc severity procedure using gamma distribution:

proc severity data=libish.simulatedwithlog  crit=aicc ;

loss severity;

scalemodel logduration / dfmixture =full ;

dist gamma ;

run;

and also applied  usual gamma model using genmod procedure .

proc genmod data=libish.dataset2;

class premiumclass age zone;

model severity=premiumclass age /dist=gamma link=log type3;

run;

actually how to conclude gamma model is suitable for this data?
