Data analysis and individual policy-level modeling for insurance involves handling large data sets with strong spatiotemporal correlations, non-Gaussian distributions, and complex hierarchical structures. In this research, we demonstrate that by utilizing gradient-based Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) techniques accelerated by graphics processing units, the trade-off between complex model structures and scalability for inference is overcome at the million-record size. By implementing our model in NumPyro, we leverage its built-in MCMC capabilities to fit a model with multiple sophisticated components such as latent conditional autoregression and spline-based exposure adjustment, achieving an 8.8x speedup compared to CPU-based implementations. We apply this model to a case study of 2.6 million individual policy-level claim count records for automobile insurance from Brazil in 2011. We illustrate how this modeling approach significantly advances current risk assessment processes for numerous, closely related outcomes.
