# MAGIC # insurance-causal: Validation on a Synthetic UK Motor Portfolio
# MAGIC
# MAGIC This notebook validates insurance-causal on a realistic synthetic motor portfolio.
# MAGIC
# MAGIC The central claim of this library is that naive GLM coefficients on treatments
# MAGIC (price changes, telematics scores) are biased because confounding is multiplicative
# MAGIC and nonlinear — the structure a GLM with main effects cannot recover. Double Machine
# MAGIC Learning, using CatBoost nuisance models, partials out this confounding and returns
# MAGIC an estimate with valid frequentist inference.
# MAGIC
# MAGIC What this notebook shows:
# MAGIC
# MAGIC 1. A 50,000-policy synthetic UK motor book with a known confounding structure
# MAGIC 2. Naive logistic GLM — what most teams currently do
# MAGIC 3. DML with CatBoost nuisance models — what this library does
# MAGIC 4. Bias comparison per segment: where the GLM is wrong and by how much
# MAGIC 5. A confounding bias report — the same workflow a pricing team would use in production
# MAGIC
# MAGIC **Expected result:** DML reduces confounding bias from roughly 50–90% down to 10–20%
# MAGIC of the true effect. The GLM's confidence interval does not cover the true effect;
# MAGIC DML's does.

# MAGIC ## 1. Data-Generating Process
# MAGIC
# MAGIC The DGP is a 50,000-policy UK motor renewal book. The treatment is the percentage
# MAGIC price change at renewal. The outcome is a binary renewal indicator.
# MAGIC
# MAGIC **The confounding mechanism:** High-risk customers receive larger price increases AND
# MAGIC have lower baseline renewal rates independently of price. A naive regression on renewal
# MAGIC sees both effects superimposed and attributes the risk-driven lapse to price sensitivity.
# MAGIC The risk score enters both the treatment assignment and the outcome nonlinearly — which
# MAGIC is the structure that breaks a linear main-effects GLM.
# MAGIC
# MAGIC The true causal semi-elasticity is −0.023: a log-unit increase in (1 + price_change)
# MAGIC reduces log-odds of renewal by 0.023. This is the number DML should recover. The GLM
# MAGIC returns something considerably larger because it cannot disentangle price from risk.

# MAGIC ## 2. Naive Logistic GLM — The Current Practice
# MAGIC
# MAGIC The standard approach: logistic regression with linear main effects for all rating
# MAGIC factors plus region dummies. This is what most pricing teams produce when asked
# MAGIC "what is the effect of the price change on renewal?"
# MAGIC
# MAGIC It will overestimate price sensitivity because high-risk customers (who receive the
# MAGIC largest increases) also have lower baseline renewal rates for reasons unrelated to
# MAGIC price — and the multiplicative risk interaction is not captured by additive main effects.

# MAGIC ## 3. DML with CatBoost Nuisance Models
# MAGIC
# MAGIC Double Machine Learning partials out the confounding before estimating the treatment
# MAGIC effect. In three steps:
# MAGIC
# MAGIC 1. CatBoost predicts E[renewal | confounders] — capturing the nonlinear risk interaction
# MAGIC 2. CatBoost predicts E[price_change | confounders] — capturing how risk drives pricing
# MAGIC 3. OLS on the residuals gives the clean treatment effect
# MAGIC
# MAGIC The cross-fitting (5 folds) ensures that the nuisance estimation errors do not bias
# MAGIC the final OLS step. CatBoost is the right tool here: it handles the multiplicative
# MAGIC risk interaction (age × NCB × region) that the GLM cannot see.
# MAGIC
# MAGIC This runs 5-fold CatBoost cross-fitting, so allow 2–5 minutes.

# MAGIC ## 7. When to Use This — Practical Guidance
# MAGIC
# MAGIC **Use DML when:**
# MAGIC
# MAGIC - The treatment was not randomly assigned (almost always true in insurance)
# MAGIC - You have ≥ 2,000 policies in the analysis segment
# MAGIC - The confounders include nonlinear or interaction effects (age × NCB, region × vehicle
# MAGIC   type) — which CatBoost captures and a GLM cannot
# MAGIC - You need valid confidence intervals on the treatment effect, not just a point estimate
# MAGIC - The question is causal: "what happens if we change the price?" not "who is
# MAGIC   more likely to renew in the historical data?"
# MAGIC
# MAGIC **Stick with the GLM when:**
# MAGIC
# MAGIC - The treatment was genuinely randomised (A/B test with clean randomisation)
# MAGIC - You have fewer than 1,000 policies — DML confidence intervals will be too wide
# MAGIC   to be commercially useful
# MAGIC - Treatment is near-deterministic (pure technical rate engine with no overrides) —
# MAGIC   the residualised treatment has near-zero variance and estimates are unstable
# MAGIC - You only need a ranking of policies by propensity to renew, not a causal estimate
# MAGIC
# MAGIC **Data requirements:**
# MAGIC
# MAGIC - The treatment (price change) must vary across similar risk profiles — you need
# MAGIC   genuine pricing variation to identify from
# MAGIC - All relevant confounders must be observed. DML does not protect against unobserved
# MAGIC   confounding. If claims reporting propensity or actual annual mileage drive both
# MAGIC   pricing and renewal, and they are not in the data, the estimate is still biased
# MAGIC - The `confounders` list should contain causes of both treatment and outcome. Do not
# MAGIC   include mediators (variables causally downstream of the treatment, such as NCD
# MAGIC   changes caused by a price-driven lapse)
# MAGIC
# MAGIC **On the 96% bias figure from the README:**
# MAGIC
# MAGIC That figure (naive −0.045, causal −0.023) comes from a specific DGP where price
# MAGIC increases and risk quality are strongly correlated — which is realistic for UK
# MAGIC motor renewal. This notebook uses a similar DGP scaled to 50k policies. The actual
# MAGIC bias you see in production depends on how correlated your pricing decisions are with
# MAGIC unmodelled risk factors. On a technically-rated book with tight pricing, the bias
# MAGIC may be smaller. On a book with significant judgement underwriting, it will be larger.
