Prediction of outstanding IBNR liabilities using delay probability [PDF]
An important question in non life insurance research is the estimation of number of future payments and corresponding amount of them. A loss reserve is the money set aside by insurance companies to pay policyholders claims on their policies.

A Legacy of EM Algorithms [PDF]
SummaryNan Laird has an enormous and growing impact on computational statistics. Her paper with Dempster and Rubin on the expectation‐maximisation (EM) algorithm is the second most cited paper in statistics. Her papers and book on longitudinal modelling are nearly as impressive. In this brief survey, we revisit the derivation of some of her most useful

This article presents the Poisson-Inverse Gamma regression model with varying dispersion for approximating heavy-tailed and overdispersed claim counts. Our main contribution is that we develop an Expectation-Maximization (EM) type algorithm for maximum ...

Weakly Semi Supervised learning based Mixture Model With Two-Level Constraints
We propose a new weakly supervised approach for classification and clustering based on mixture models. Our approach integrates multi-level pairwise group and class constraints between samples to learn the underlying group structure of the data and ...

SQUAREM: An R Package for Off-the-Shelf Acceleration of EM, MM and Other EM-Like Monotone Algorithms
We discuss the R package SQUAREM for accelerating iterative algorithms which exhibit slow, monotone convergence. These include the well-known expectation-maximization algorithm, majorize-minimize (MM), and other EM-like algorithms such as expectation ...

Modeling Insurance Claims Distribution through Combining Generalized Hyperbolic Skew-t Distribution with Extreme Value Theory [PDF]
This paper examines whether combining Generalized Hyperbolic Skew-t distribution, recently introduced in the field of insurance, and Extreme Value Theory (EVT) could result in a modeling of loss function that could model central value as well as extreme ...
