Announcing a bonus round while you wait!

Insurance pricing game
#1

Hi all!

We’re now deep in analysis mode and are in the process of making sure everyone’s models are counted in the final leaderboard. Bear with us and stay tuned :headphones:

A bonus round while you wait :stopwatch:

While you are waiting for the town hall we’ve opened up the challenge for a bonus round. Features of the bonus round:

  1. Removal of Age and Age of License variables
  2. New RMSE leaderboard
  3. Profit leaderboard after the townhall (March 21)

How do I play in the bonus round? :thinking:

You can play in the bonus round exactly as you would normally, except note that the RMSE and final dataset do not contain the following 4 columns (you can also re-download the training data for this purpose):

  1. drv_age1
  2. drv_age2
  3. drv_age_lic1
  4. drv_age_lic2

When does it launch? :horse_racing:t3:

It is open now, the leaderboard deadline is Saturday March 20 10PM UTC.

All the best and have fun!
Ali

Hi @RHG,

Nice catch! :raised_hands:
Bonus Round’s RMSE was indeed wrongly sorted and has been fixed now.

Congratulations on claiming the first rank :1st_place_medal:, while other participants brace themselves to attack for the 1st position :wink:

Does the bonus RMSE use years 1-4? Evaluated the same way that the original RMSE worked? Are we supposed to put in a pricing strategy with these submissions? How does the profit round work? I feel like we need a little more information here :slight_smile:.

Hi @lolatu2

In short, everything is going to happen in exactly the same way as the final profit leaderboard, except the dataset will not include the 4 columns listed.

So:

  1. The RMSE leaderboard is computed in exactly the same way as before on years 1-4
  2. Yes, you should place a pricing strategy as before
  3. The profit round will be on the same final year 5 test set excluding those 4 listed columns.

@alfarzan
Should we be able to pick our submission for the bonus profit round?
The submission picker says that it’s over

#10

You should be able to pick actually, I can see the page is offline, so please continue making submissions and once it’s back online I will let you know.

In the meanwhile if you will not be around to pick the submission you want later, then please just send me a PM with the submission ID and I’ll make sure that’s the one that is picked :+1:
