Between October and December 2016, Kaggle organised a competition with over 3,000 participants, competing to predict the loss value associated with American insurance company Allstate. In 2017, Google scholar Alexy Noskov won second position in the competition. In a blog post on Kaggle, Noskov walked readers through his work. The primary models he employed were…
