The comparison and evaluation of several model outputs that determine the most effective and best performance model implemented to achieve the research question is Random Forest model with 80% R square value, Support Vector Machine is a second performance model with 67% accuracy. Also, SVM and Random Forest used to solve research question and sub research question.
Key Words: Machine Learning models, Predictive Analytics, Insurance Premiums, Rsquare value, Accuracy.
