Two Monte Carlo studies for latent class segmentation models [PDF]
Model assessment and comparison are essential aspects of statistical inference. The likelihood ratio test is one of the main instruments for model selection; however, this is not appropriate when the model under consideration contains random effects.

Predicting motor policy loss – a ZAIG model or a two stage neural network approach? [PDF]
Artificial neural networks have increasingly being applied to solve problems which traditionally would have fallen under the domain of more classical statistical methodology, and the latter has long been a staple of popular actuarial methodology.
