Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to develop statistical models tailored to the unique demands of the insurance industry. The scope of the Special Issue extends to various types of insurance, such as life, health, property, and casualty, addressing challenges related to claim frequency, severity, and the estimation of risk premiums. By integrating advanced statistical techniques with domain-specific knowledge, this Special Issue seeks to provide statistical tools for actuaries and insurance professionals to better manage uncertainty, optimize pricing strategies, and improve decision-making processes in the face of evolving risks and regulatory environments. We invite papers presenting original research on related topics including, but not limited to, the following:
- Advanced Techniques in Mortality Modeling and Forecasting
- Modeling and Pricing Strategies for Agricultural Insurance
- Risk Assessment and Pricing in Property and Casualty Insurance
- Multi-Line Insurance Dependence Modeling
- Fraud Detection Algorithms in Insurance
- Analyzing Telematics Data for Personalized Insurance
- Geospatial Risk Assessment and Insurance Applications
- Climate Change Impact Models and Their Insurance Implications
- Leveraging Text Mining for Enhanced Claims Processing
