Mixed Models for Predictive Modeling in Actuarial Science [PDF]
We start with a general discussion of mixed (also called multilevel) models and continue with illustrating specific (actuarial) applications of this type of models. Technical details on (linear, generalized, non-linear) mixed models follow: model assumptions, specifications, estimation techniques and methods of inference.

Analysis of Exchange Rates as Time-Inhomogeneous Markov Chain with Finite States
Irrespective of whether the test for homogeneity is significant or not, most researchers assume time-homogeneity in analysing Markov chains due to scanty literature on the analysis of time-inhomogeneous Markov chains.
