Global adjustment factors

Event-Based Adjustment Factors (EBAFs) use Global Adjustment Factors (also known as "GEBAFs") that are maintained in a CSV file. Each line in the file is a single record that represents a model/event pair. There must be data in each column in each record.


Field (Column)	Format	Comments
Model ID	Integer	Verisk assigns the Model ID.
Year	Integer	The valid range of values is 1 through 10,000.
Event ID	Integer	Verisk assigns the Event ID.
Day	Integer	The valid range of values is 1 through 365.
Area Code	Alphanumeric	Area code is from Verisk's Industry Loss File (ILF) with the prefix "A" attached to prevent Excel from reformatting; see the Verisk-supplied document Damage Factor File Area Codes Excel spreadsheet on the Client Portal.
LOB Schema	Factor	Each LOB is assigned a factor of "1" by default, a neutral factor that will not change losses. (A factor of 1.1 scales losses up by 10%, while a factor of 0.9 scales losses down by 10%.) Factors may have a precision of four decimals. If a factor is equal to zero, the losses for this event are to be nulled, or not considered
