Accurate prediction of future claims is a fundamentally important problem in insurance. The Bayesian approach is natural in this context, as it provides a complete predictive distribution for future claims. The classical credibility theory provides a simple approximation to the mean of that...

Bias resulting from model misspecification is a concern when predicting insurance claims. Indeed, this bias puts the insurer at risk of making invalid or unreliable predictions. A method that could provide provably valid predictions uniformly across a large class of possible distributions would...

Insurance regulation often dictates that insurers monitor their solvency risk in real time and take appropriate actions whenever the risk exceeds their tolerance level. Bayesian methods are appealing for prediction problems thanks to their ability to naturally incorporate both sample variability...
