On Two Mixture-Based Clustering Approaches Used in Modeling an Insurance Portfolio

open access: yesRisks, 2018
We review two complementary mixture-based clustering approaches for modeling unobserved heterogeneity in an insurance portfolio: the generalized linear mixed cluster-weighted model (CWM) and mixture-based clustering for an ordered stereotype model (OSM).

Global permutation tests for multivariate ordinal data: alternatives, test statistics, and the null dilemma [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We discuss two-sample global permutation tests for sets of multivariate ordinal data in possibly high-dimensional setups, motivated by the analysis of data collected by means of the World Health Organisation's International Classification of Functioning,
