Territory risk analysis has played an important role in auto insurance rate regulation. It aims to design rating territories from a set of basic rating units so that their respective risk relativities can be estimated to reflect the regional risk of insurance. In this work, spatially constrained...

Regional prevalence estimation requires the use of suitable statistical methods on epidemiologic data with substantial local detail. Small area estimation with medical treatment records as covariates marks a promising combination for this purpose. However, medical routine data often has strong...

Traditionally, actuaries have used run-off triangles to estimate reserve ("macro" models, on aggregated data). However, it is possible to model payments related to individual claims. If those models provide similar estimations, we investigate uncertainty related to reserves with "macro" and...

Measuring vertical price transmission (VPT) has become a widespread means to evaluate the performance of food value chain. To do so, agricultural economists employ time series methods on spatially aggregated data of prices at a regional/ national level. The conclusions of these studies are...
