Generalized Poisson Models and Their Applications in Insurance and Finance
Author: Vladimir E. Bening
Publisher: VSP
ISBN: 9789067643665
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 464
Book Description
This volume in the "Modern Probability and Statistics series aims to fill the gap in existing literature on compound Cox processes, i.e. sums of independent identically distributed random variables up to a doubly stochastic Poisson process, which are very important, especially for insurance and financial applications where they provide good asymptotic approximations for basic characteristics such as the distributions of the surplus of an insurance company under risk and portfolio fluctuations or of increments of stock prices under non-constant intensity of trade. It presents the present state-of-the-art in the field of compound Cox processes and their applications in insurance and finance. Besides a review of well-known classical results on compound and mixed Poisson processes and risk theory, it contains many new, recently obtained results by the authors. Among these are: new convergence criteria, convergence rate estimates, asymptotic expansions for quantiles of stochastic processes and many others. From the applied problems considered in this book, four deserve to be mentioned especially: 1) modelling the distribution of increments of stock prices, closely connected with prediction of the behaviour of financial indexes; 2) the description of asymptotic behaviour of the so-called generalized risk processes, which take into account both risk and portfolio fluctuations; 3) statistical estimation of the probability of ruin for a generalized risk process; 4) construction of refined approximations to the ruin probability, based on its asymptotic expansions with small safety loading. This book will be of great value to specialists in applied probability and to those who use modelsand methods of probability theory to solve practical problems in the fields of insurance and finance.

Quantitative Risk Management
Author: Alexander J. McNeil
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 1400866286
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 721
Book Description
This book provides the most comprehensive treatment of the theoretical concepts and modelling techniques of quantitative risk management. Whether you are a financial risk analyst, actuary, regulator or student of quantitative finance, Quantitative Risk Management gives you the practical tools you need to solve real-world problems. Describing the latest advances in the field, Quantitative Risk Management covers the methods for market, credit and operational risk modelling. It places standard industry approaches on a more formal footing and explores key concepts such as loss distributions, risk measures and risk aggregation and allocation principles. The book's methodology draws on diverse quantitative disciplines, from mathematical finance and statistics to econometrics and actuarial mathematics. A primary theme throughout is the need to satisfactorily address extreme outcomes and the dependence of key risk drivers. Proven in the classroom, the book also covers advanced topics like credit derivatives. Fully revised and expanded to reflect developments in the field since the financial crisis Features shorter chapters to facilitate teaching and learning Provides enhanced coverage of Solvency II and insurance risk management and extended treatment of credit risk, including counterparty credit risk and CDO pricing Includes a new chapter on market risk and new material on risk measures and risk aggregation

American-Type Options
Author: Dmitrii S. Silvestrov
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter
ISBN: 3110329824
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 520
Book Description
The book gives a systematical presentation of stochastic approximation methods for models of American-type options with general pay-off functions for discrete time Markov price processes. Advanced methods combining backward recurrence algorithms for computing of option rewards and general results on convergence of stochastic space skeleton and tree approximations for option rewards are applied to a variety of models of multivariate modulated Markov price processes. The principal novelty of presented results is based on consideration of multivariate modulated Markov price processes and general pay-off functions, which can depend not only on price but also an additional stochastic modulating index component, and use of minimal conditions of smoothness for transition probabilities and pay-off functions, compactness conditions for log-price processes and rate of growth conditions for pay-off functions. The book also contains an extended bibliography of works in the area. This book is the first volume of the comprehensive two volumes monograph. The second volume will present results on structural studies of optimal stopping domains, Monte Carlo based approximation reward algorithms, and convergence of American-type options for autoregressive and continuous time models, as well as results of the corresponding experimental studies.

Generalized Linear Models for Insurance Data
Author: Piet de Jong
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139470477
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 207
Book Description
This is the only book actuaries need to understand generalized linear models (GLMs) for insurance applications. GLMs are used in the insurance industry to support critical decisions. Until now, no text has introduced GLMs in this context or addressed the problems specific to insurance data. Using insurance data sets, this practical, rigorous book treats GLMs, covers all standard exponential family distributions, extends the methodology to correlated data structures, and discusses recent developments which go beyond the GLM. The issues in the book are specific to insurance data, such as model selection in the presence of large data sets and the handling of varying exposure times. Exercises and data-based practicals help readers to consolidate their skills, with solutions and data sets given on the companion website. Although the book is package-independent, SAS code and output examples feature in an appendix and on the website. In addition, R code and output for all the examples are provided on the website.

Non-Life Insurance Pricing with Generalized Linear Models
Author: Esbjörn Ohlsson
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642107915
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 181
Book Description
Non-life insurance pricing is the art of setting the price of an insurance policy, taking into consideration varoius properties of the insured object and the policy holder. Introduced by British actuaries generalized linear models (GLMs) have become today a the standard aproach for tariff analysis. The book focuses on methods based on GLMs that have been found useful in actuarial practice and provides a set of tools for a tariff analysis. Basic theory of GLMs in a tariff analysis setting is presented with useful extensions of standarde GLM theory that are not in common use. The book meets the European Core Syllabus for actuarial education and is written for actuarial students as well as practicing actuaries. To support reader real data of some complexity are provided at www.math.su.se/GLMbook.
