This article presents a guided introduction to a general class of interacting particle methods and explains throughout how such methods may be adapted to solve general classes of inference problems encountered in actuarial science and risk management. Along the way, the resulting specialized...

In order to preserve their solvency, it is very important for insurance companies to accurately estimate their future required reserves. The aim of this article is to determine reserves by using different stochastic models: 1) distribution-free model (Mack's model), 2) probability distribution...

Stochastic discounting models are generally recognized as extremely strong analytical tools for a very wide variety of fundamental areas in the actuarial discipline. The paper is mainly devoted to the formulation, investigation and application in the actuarial discipline of a stochastic...

This paper is concerned with an insurance risk model whose claim process is described by a Lévy subordinator process. Lévy-type risk models have been the object of much research in recent years. Our purpose is to present, in the case of a subordinator, a simple and direct method for...
