People do make these date sets. They're called actuaries, unfortunately, they're not doing it to help people. I worked at an insurance company briefly and there was a whole team that ran various models of storms to determine how much they needed to charge people, how much coverage that premium would cover, possible damage done, previous storm damage, etc. It was actually pretty cool albeit not exactly a job you could feel good about at the end of the day.
- next_xibalba 2y agoI’m not referring to actuarial predictions. I’m referring to predictions made by public figures at or to media outlets (such as the one I linked to).
- davidcalloway 2y agoI don't understand why you wouldn't feel good about this job. Ultimately, you are assisting in creating (hopefully accurate) signals that help summarize risk to simplify decision-making. Seems like honorable work to me...
