Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of actuarial science has seen rapid advancements due to the increasing complexity of risk assessment and management across various sectors, including insurance, finance, and healthcare. As data become more abundant and sophisticated statistical methods evolve, there is a growing need to integrate innovative modeling techniques to address emerging challenges.
Recent trends indicate a shift towards more data-driven approaches, with an emphasis on machine learning and artificial intelligence. However, actuaries face significant challenges, including the need for robust validation methods, regulatory compliance, and the ethical implications of algorithmic decision making. This Special Issue will provide a platform for discussing these challenges and exploring solutions that ensure the integrity and reliability of actuarial models.
By fostering a dialog around innovative methodologies and the practical implications of actuarial statistical modeling, this Special Issue seeks to advance the field and equip practitioners with the tools necessary to navigate an increasingly complex risk landscape. We invite researchers and practitioners to contribute their insights and findings to enrich this vital discourse. This Special Issue is now open to receive submissions of full research articles and comprehensive review papers for peer review from diverse topics, which may include but are not limited to the following:
- Survival analysis;
- Longitudinal data analysis;
- Multivariate data analysis;
- Loss models;
- Integration of big data in actuarial practices;
- Portfolio optimization;
- Extreme value theory;
- Fraud detection in insurance.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
