Bayesian Cart Models for Insurance Claims Frequency

This paper focuses on the development of #bayesian classification and regression tree (#cart) models for claims frequency modeling in non-life #insurance pricing. The authors propose the use of the zero-inflated #poisson distribution to address the issue of imbalanced claims data and introduce a general MCMC algorithm for posterior tree exploration. Additionally, the deviance information criterion (DIC) is used for model selection. The paper discusses the applicability of these models through simulations and real insurance data.

A Dirichlet Process Mixture Regression Model for the Analysis of Competing Risk Events

"We address the problem of sharing risk among agents with preferences modelled by a general class of comonotonic additive and law-based functionals that need not be either monotone or convex. Such functionals are called distortion riskmetrics, which include many statistical measures of risk and variability used in portfolio optimization and insurance."

Bayesian Model Selection and Prior Calibration for Structural Models in Economic Experiments

"Bayesian estimates from experimental data can be influenced by highly diffuse or "uninformative" priors. This paper discusses how practitioners can use their own expertise to critique and select a prior that (i) incorporates our knowledge as experts in the field, and (ii) achieves favorable sampling properties. I demonstrate these techniques using data from eleven experiments of decision-making under risk, and discuss some implications of the findings."

A Unified Bayesian Framework for Pricing Catastrophe Bond Derivatives

Date : Tags : , , ,
"The primary contribution of this paper is to present a unified Bayesian CAT bond pricing framework based on uncertainty quantification of catastrophes and interest rates. Our framework allows for complex beliefs about catastrophe risks to capture the distinct and common patterns in catastrophe occurrences, and when combined with stochastic interest rates, yields a unified asset pricing approach with informative expected risk premia."

A Bayesian‑Loss Function Model for Assessing Marine Liability Regime for Ship‑Source Spills

"The model is a comprehensive template for assessing loss and subsequently the insurance for activities in the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions. Governmental and non-government organisations alike will benefit from the tool by using it as a loss estimation mechanism for liability for ship-source oil spills."
