Major Accomplishments
Subrogation Recoveries
Client: A major Insurance Company
Problem Statement:
Client was confronted with problems involving property insurance claims, which became candidates for
subrogation involving time and efforts; absence of an automated process contributed to this scenario;
client wanted an automated process and a reporting mechanism in place for subsequent utilization &
effective control
Statistical Solution: Developed an algorithm on a mainframe system for analyzing large files to
accomplish the following: Extensive Informational reports were generated, Subrogation efficiency Ratios
2. were statistically characterized with respect to trends in time and their distribution. Final reports were:
1. Summary of claims paid and then recovered after it was determined they were valid however the
Subrogation recovery effectiveness were based on the following criteria:
A) Type of Claim - Industry / Root Cause Analysis B) Geography C) Type of Counsel (In-house /
External) etc
Results: Project objectives were attained; substantial cost savings were realized by eliminating the
services of external legal counsel / audit consulting companies previously contracted to support project
objectives; this effort saved the clients thousand of $ in operating expenses
Analysis of Insurance Losses and Trend Analysis
Client: A major Insurance Company
Problem Statement:
Client was confronted with problem of developing Trends in Loss and Ratios for various segments of
business operation and company performance evaluation; Client requirements were:
- Analysis of past claims / losses by Month and YTD and for the preceding two Years / Year over
Comparisons for the company performance;
- Identification of key stake holders involved and their roles, Executives, Group Heads and IT
Stakeholders
- Analysis of $ amount paid (by topography, Natural vs. Physical Hazards; Loss Size Groups, No of
losses, Total Loss Amount)
Statistical Solution: Developed algorithms using analytical methodology on a mainframe system for
analyzing large files, generated reports via COSGNOS / SQL facilities to accomplish the following:
Extensive Informational Reports were generated reflecting Excel Charts and Pivot Tables to highlight
trends over time and their distribution across categories
Results: Entire processes were readily automated / bringing in a net 50 % - 75% of Cost savings.
Final reports were ready for submission for Executive Presentation on Dashboard and Key Performance
Indicators on a monthly basis – and in time for Board Meetings to be held (3 – 4 times a Year)
Automobile Theft Prevention & Strategization
Client: Consulting / Research Company Project for Industry Trade Association / Govt. Regulatory Impact
Problem Statement:
Client experienced massive losses due to automobile thefts - Client requirements were:

Model Years, Demographics of drivers -- Age, Population Density, Urban/Suburban, Crime Index.
- Identification of previous US and other Country Auto Safety / Theft Research Study Reports /
Critique models, Review of Existing Literature on Logistical Regression
- Analysis of data for establishing a trend (mega – millions of records across many model years /
model lines and Makes)
Statistical Solution / As an Independent Consultant overseeing the Applied Statistical team: Logistical
Regression Algorithms: Guided and supervised Logistical regression algorithms on SAS / WINDOWS
based systems, using extensive Federal, Trade Association and other mega datasets across many years
– some very large datasets/files, generated summary reports to accomplish the following:
Final report was submitted to the Trade Association and the Govt. Agency responsible for regulating the
Safety /Theft Deterrent Systems and their Cost Effectiveness for implementing in various Automobile lines
3. / Models with Odds Ratios for comparison based on Logistic Regression Models.
Results: Significant Cost Savings in Hundreds of thousand dollars will be resulting due to the modeling
and avoiding unnecessary upgrades / and or other cost intensive parts markings for certain lines and
types of automobiles. President of the company commended my individual business acumen, solid
contribution of Statistical Expertise in literature review / advice along with the Team efforts and the High
Quality of our work, the results of which were promulgated as regulations across several models and type
of vehicles and was signed into an order.
