In this session, the audience will be introduced to a refined approach to the Balloon Analog Risk Task (BART) aimed at analysing individual risk-taking behaviours. The presentation will cover the entire machine learning modelling process, including:

• data cleaning
• applying heuristic rules for outlier detection
• feature selection
• the use of an XGB classifier to develop a comprehensive risk spectrum.

This methodical approach will provide a detailed, data-driven examination of individual risk propensities, highlighting the steps from raw data to actionable insights.
