Abstract

A commercial source maintains a national data base of outcomes of 
workers'
compensation claims. We consider whether a radial basis function 
network
(RBF) can predict the total dollar value of a claim based upon 
medical and
demographic indicators (MDI's). This work used data from 12,130 
workers'
compensation claims collected over a period of four years from the 
state of
New Mexico.

Two problems were addressed:

How well can the total incurred medical expense for all claims be 
predicted
from available MDI's? For individual claims?
How well can the duration of disability be predicted from available 
MDI's?
