Abstract

Bayesian Additive Regression Tree (BART) is a sum-of-trees model used to approximate classification or regression cases. The main idea of this method is to use a prior distribution to keep the tree size small and a likelihood from data to get the posterior. By fixing the tree size as small as possible, the approximation of each tree would have a little effect on the posterior, which is the sum of all output from all the trees used. Bayesian additive regression tree method will be used for predicting the maternity recovery rate of group long-term disability insurance data from the Society of Actuaries (SOA). The decision tree-based models such as Gradient Boosting Machine, Random Forest, Decision Tree, and Bayesian Additive Regression Tree model are compared to find the best model by comparing mean squared error and program runtime. After comparing some models, the Bayesian Additive Regression Tree model gives the best prediction based on smaller root mean squared error values and relatively short runtime.
