We leverage telematics data on driving behavior variables to assess driver risk and predict future insurance claims in a case study utilising a representative telematics sample. In the study, we aim to categorise drivers according to their driving habits and establish premiums that accurately...

In automobile insurance, it is common to adopt a Poisson regression model to predict the number of claims as part of the actuarial pricing process. The Poisson assumption can rarely be justified, often due to overdispersion, and alternative modeling is often considered, typically zero-inflated...

We simplify the implementation of some elliptical copula regression models through the normal representation. Both copula and marginal probability density functions are expressed as the scale mixtures of normals to facilitate the estimation procedure. With the fact that all elliptical...

This paper presents a CAPM-based threshold quantile regression model with GARCH specification to examine relations between stock excess returns and “abnormal trading volume.” By employing the Bayesian MCMC method with asymmetric Laplace distribution to six daily Dow Jones Industrial stocks,...
