Welfare consequences of the compound risks of index insurance

Journal of Risk and Insurance, EarlyView.
Abstract Index insurance is an attractive variant on the standard insurance contract that allows the determination of a loss event to be defined by one or more thresholds on an index that is positively correlated with actual losses. Index insurance also comes with a compound risk, basis risk.

LEARNING ACTUARIAL MATHEMATICS THROUGH UiTM FUTURE MOOC

International Journal of Modern Education, 2020
The Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) is a new online learning platform that provides training beyond the classroom based on casual and social learning. Current learning methods that use PowerPoint slides usually bore students who would easily lose focus on their learning. MOOCs provide a new era of learning style with various learning methods. Using

Change Point Analysis for Functional Data Using Empirical Characteristic Functionals

Journal of Time Series Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We develop a new method to detect change points in the distribution of functional data based on integrated CUSUM processes of empirical characteristic functionals. Asymptotic results are presented under conditions allowing for low‐order moments and serial dependence in the data establishing the limiting null‐distribution of the proposed test ...

Robust Bernoulli Mixture Models for Credit Portfolio Risk

Mathematical Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents comparison results and establishes risk bounds for credit portfolios within classes of Bernoulli mixture models, assuming conditionally independent defaults that are stochastically increasing in a common risk factor. We provide simple and interpretable conditions on conditional default probabilities that imply a comparison ...

Insight into the dynamics of non-Newtonian Casson fluid over a rotating non-uniform surface subject to Coriolis force

Nonlinear Engineering, 2020
Casson fluid model is the most accurate mathematical expression for investigating the dynamics of fluids with non-zero plastic dynamic viscosity like that of blood. Despite huge number of published articles on the transport phenomenon, there is no report

Stable-1/2 Bridges and Insurance [PDF]

, 2014
We develop a class of non-life reserving models using a stable-1/2 random bridge to simulate the accumulation of paid claims, allowing for an essentially arbitrary choice of a priori distribution for the ultimate loss.

Hackathons in Statistics and Data Science Education and Experiences from ASA DataFest

Teaching Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Data hackathons provide a platform for students to work with real and challenging data, allowing them to practice both technical and transferable skills, such as data wrangling, visualization, modeling, effective communication, and teamwork. This level of active learning is difficult to achieve in a typical classroom setting.
