The Casualty Actuarial Society said it will hold a seminar next month on the application of predictive modeling techniques by actuaries to such areas as homeowners insurance, workers' compensation, commercial risks, auto loss costs and dental insurance fraud.

Sessions are scheduled for Oct. 11-12 at the Riviera Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.

CAS said the featured speaker is John Elder, founder of the Elder Research Inc. His firm focuses on scientific and commercial applications of pattern discovery and optimization, including stock selection, image recognition, medical text mining, biometric identification, drug efficacy, credit scoring, cross-selling, investment timing and fraud detection.
