<![CDATA[Generalized Linear Models (GLMs) are a modeling approach that allows the modeling of nonlinear behaviors and non-Gaussian distributions of residues. This approach is very useful for general insurance analysis, where the frequency of claims and the amount of claims distributions are usually non-Gaussian. In this article, the application of Poisson and Negative Binomial models to estimate the frequency of claims of auto insurance is discussed. The accuracy of the models was compared to choose the best model for determining pure insurance premiums using R software. The data used are a secondary dataset which is the motor vehicle insurance dataset from Sweden named dataOhlsson and the motor vehicle dataset from Australia named ausprivauto0405. The results of the exploration of the GLMs model are that Poisson's GLM and Negative Binomial models both are suitable models for estimating the number of claims for the dataOhlsson dataset. Both models have relatively similar parameter estimates, as well as the AIC and BIC values for the dataOhlsson dataset, however, both models are not suitable for estimating the number of claims for the ausprivauto0405 dataset. More investigation using different models is needed to ensure which model is more appropriate for estimating the frequency of insurance claims.]]>
