Loss Ratio Method
Definition of "Loss ratio method"
Modification of premium rates by a stipulated uniform percentage for closely related classes of property or liability insurance policies.

The resultant alignment should show no significant standard deviation or variation of the actual loss ratio from the expected loss ratio.
