Boosting cost-complexity pruned trees On Tweedie responses: the ABT machine
2021
This paper proposes a new boosting machine based on forward stagewise additive modeling with cost-complexity pruned trees. In the Tweedie case, it deals directly with observed res-ponses, not gradients of the loss function. Trees included in the score progressively reduce to the root-node one, in an adaptive way. The proposed Adaptive Boosting Tree (ABT) machine thus automatically stops at that time, avoiding to resort to the time-consuming cross validation approach. A case study performed on motor third-party liability insurance claim data demons-trates the performances of the proposed ABT machine for ratemaking, in comparison with regu-lar gradient boosting trees.
