A multiplier bootstrap procedure for construction of likelihood-based confidence sets is considered for finite samples and a possible model misspecification. Theoretical results justify the bootstrap consistency for a small or moderate sample size and allow to control the impact of the parameter...

In the actuarial literature, it has become common practice to model future capital returns and mortality rates stochastically in order to capture market risk and forecasting risk. Although interest rates often should and mortality rates always have to be non-negative, many authors use stochastic...

It is crucial to check validation of any statistical model after fitting it for a given set of data. In Bayesian statistics, a researcher can check the fit of the model using a variety of strategies. In this paper we consider two major aspects, first checking that the posterior inferences are...
