随机效应零膨胀索赔次数回归模型

索赔频率预测是非寿险费率厘定的重要组成部分。最常使用的索赔频率预测模型是泊松回归和负二项回归,以及与它们相对应的零膨胀回归模型。但是,当索赔次数观察值既具有零膨胀特征,又存在组内相依结构时,上述模型都不能很好地拟合实际数据。为此,本文在泊松分布、负二项分布、广义泊松分布、P型负二项分布等条件下分别建立了随机效应零膨胀损失次数回归模型。为了改进模型的预测效果,对于连续型的解释变量,还引入了二次平滑项,并建立了结构性零比例与解释变量之间的回归关系。基于一组实际索赔次数数据的实证分析结果表明,该模型可以显著改进现有模型的拟合效果。

保险索赔额的分布拟合与回归模型的建立对保险费率厘定、风险因素分类、准备金计提等方面有重要意义,其研究也得到了广泛的发展和应用。文章对索赔额模型的研究与应用进行了简要的回顾分析,并基于Tweedie分布族和零调整逆高斯分布建立索赔额回归模型;以汽车第三者责任保险的损失数据为例,应用这两个回归模型,得到了比较满意的结果。     

基于copula回归模型的损失预测

在非寿险损失预测的广义线性模型中,通常假设损失次数与损失强度相互独立,事实上二者之间往往存在一定的相依关系,可通过copula函数来刻画.在损失已经发生的条件下,假设损失次数服从零截断泊松分布,损失强度服从伽玛分布,可以建立损失次数与损失强度相互依赖的copula回归模型.把损失强度的分布扩展到逆高斯分布,并将此模型应用于一组车险保单数据进行实证研究.结果表明:该模型不但在损失预测方面优于独立假设下的广义线性模型,而且也优于损失强度服从伽马分布假设下的copula回归模型.     

短面板随机效应模型的分位数回归方法及模拟

对于随机效应面板数据的分位数回归研究的难点在于如何处理截面内存在的相关性,文章借助分位数回归与ALD分布之间的关系,提出了带有Copula相关结构的分位数回归的极大似然估计法,其中Copula函数可用来表示短面板中的截面内相关性.通过数值优化算法迭代求解目标函数可得参数估计值,蒙特卡洛模拟结果显示该方法的均方误差更小,因此更为精确可靠.     

真实固定效应空间随机前沿模型的贝叶斯估计

忽略个体效应和空间效应会严重干扰效率测算,其中忽略个体效应使得技术无效率项发生偏移,忽略空间相关性导致估计量有偏且不一致。本文基于真实固定效应随机前沿模型（引入了个体效应）,引入因变量和双边误差项的空间滞后项,构建了适用性更佳的真实固定效应空间随机前沿模型。对模型进行组内变化以消除额外参数,使用贝叶斯方法（需推导未知参数的后验分布并执行MCMC抽样）估计参数和技术效率。该方法真正克服了额外参数问题,比同类方法直观、简便。数值模拟结果表明,本文方法对参数、个体截距项及技术无效率项的估计精度均较高,且增加样本容量,估计精度变优。

具有良好可读性和稳健性的变系数模型在各学科领域应用广泛.本文构建了一种新的随机效应变系数空间自回归面板模型,运用截面极大似然估计方法,导出了模型的估计量,证明其具备一致性和渐近正态性,蒙特卡洛模拟研究显示估计量的小样本表现效果良好.     

基于流动性调整的期望损失研究

与传统VaR方法相比,期望损失是一致风险测度,满足次可加性,但忽视了资产的流动性风险.流动性调整在险损失虽然考虑了流动性,但传统VaR方法的不足限制了La-VaR的实际应用范围和效果.鉴于此,基于相对半价差,文章研究了如何将流动性引入期望损失,得到带有流动性调整因素的期望损失模型.并给出了计算La-ES的仿真算法.实证分析表明,一致性风险测度LaES既能够覆盖大部分极端风险,又表现的不太保守,是一种较好的风险度量工具.     

基于偏正态随机效应模型的信度保费

信度模型是非寿险经验费率厘定的主要方法。传统的Buhlmann-Straub信度模型可以表示为随机截距模型,而随机截距模型假设随机效应服从正态分布。在实际的保险损失数据中,部分个体风险的损失可能远远高于总体平均水平,从而使得不同个体风险之间的风险差异呈现右偏特征。在这种情况下,Buhlmann-Straub模型有可能低估高风险的信度保费。本文在随机截距模型中假设随机效应服从偏正态分布,求得了偏正态随机效应假设下的信度保费。可以证明,Buhlmann-Straub信度保费是其特例。模拟分析和实证研究的结果都表明,偏正态随机效应假设下的信度模型可以更好地预测高风险的信度保费,从而改进传统信度模型的保费估计结果。     

基于分位回归的风险保费预测

风险保费预测是非寿险费率厘定的重要组成部分。在传统的分位回归厘定风险保费中,通常假设分位数水平是事先给定的,缺乏一定的客观性。为此,提出了一种应用分位回归厘定风险保费的新方法。基于破产概率确定保单组合的总风险保费,建立个体保单的分位回归模型,并与总风险保费建立等式关系,通过数值方法求解出分位数水平,实现对个体保单风险保费的预测。通过一组实际数据分析表明,该方法具有良好的预测效果。     

面板数据分位回归模型中固定与随机效应的选择

随机效应的引入为面板数据建模中样本相关和异方差问题提供了重要解决途径,过多的随机效应不仅会极大地增加模型复杂度,而且给固定效应系数的估计带来偏差.文章在考虑到随机效应具有整体性基础上,以横截面个体为单位,对其进行整体压缩.通过对固定和随机效应分别引入不同形式的条件Laplace先验,构造了一种与Group Lasso-Lasso惩罚相等价的贝叶斯双惩罚分位回归估计方法.通过设计切片Gibbs抽样算法,快速有效地解决了模型参数估计问题.计算机模拟显示,该方法不仅能对固定和随机效应参数进行精确估计,而且能对模型中真实包含的固定和随机效应进行自动选择.     

Model Reduction for Prediction in Regression Models

We look at prediction in regression models under squared loss for the random x case with many explanatory variables. Model reduction is done by conditioning upon only a small number of linear combinations of the original variables. The corresponding reduced model will then essentially be the population model for the chemometricians' partial least squares algorithm. Estimation of the selection matrix under this model is briefly discussed, and analoguous results for the case with multivariate response are formulated. Finally, it is shown that an assumption of multinormality may be weakened to assuming elliptically symmetric distribution, and that some of the results are valid without any distributional assumption at all.     

Insurance Premium Prediction via Gradient Tree-Boosted Tweedie Compound Poisson Models

The Tweedie GLM is a widely used method for predicting insurance premiums. However, the structure of the logarithmic mean is restricted to a linear form in the Tweedie GLM, which can be too rigid for many applications. As a better alternative, we propose a gradient tree-boosting algorithm and apply it to Tweedie compound Poisson models for pure premiums. We use a profile likelihood approach to estimate the index and dispersion parameters. Our method is capable of fitting a flexible nonlinear Tweedie model and capturing complex interactions among predictors. A simulation study confirms the excellent prediction performance of our method. As an application, we apply our method to an auto-insurance claim data and show that the new method is superior to the existing methods in the sense that it generates more accurate premium predictions, thus helping solve the adverse selection issue. We have implemented our method in a user-friendly R package that also includes a nice visualization tool for interpreting the fitted model.     

非寿险准备金评估的广义线性模型

在非寿险准备金评估实务中,保险公司通常应用链梯法和B-F法等确定性模型,但这类模型无法对准备金的预测结果进行统计检验,因此广义线性模型受到了越来越多的关注.在假设增量赔款服从指数分布族的情况下,讨论广义线性模型在准备金评估中的应用,并通过一个实际的流量三角形数据进行实证检验.     

固定设计异方差非参数回归模型的预测方法

文章针对固定设计下异方差非参数回归模型,考虑了基于多项式样条的三种预测方法,即非外推法、线性外推法和非线性外推法.模拟结果表明非外推预测法的均方根误差(RMSE)和平均绝对误差(MAE)的均值最大,而线性外推法的RMSE和MAE的均值略小于非线性外推法的RMSE和MAE的均值.实证分析结果显示:非外推预测法的平均绝对百分比误差(MAPE)、RMSE和MAE最大,线性外推法的MAPE、RMSE和MAE最小.这表明整体上外推法优于非外推法,而线性外推法是简单可行的.

空气质量指数是与人们的日常活动密切相关的指标。基于中国18个城市2014年共52个周的空气污染计数数据进行负二项回归分析,通过运用广义线性混合效应模型和广义估计方程的方法进行比较分析,从理论和实际应用上得到了一定结论。研究结果表明:广义线性混合效应模型和广义估计方程两种方法在分析空气污染问题中差别不大;人口因素、城市园林绿化状况、气象因素、城市群效应以及季节效应对所研究城市的空气污染状况发生与否及其严重程度有显著的影响。     

Bayes Prediction for a Heteroscedastic Regression Superpopulation Model Using Balanced Loss Function

We consider Prais–Houthakker heteroscedastic normal regression model having variance of the dependent variable same as square of its expectation. Bayes predictors for the regression coefficient and the mean of a finite population are derived using Zellner's balanced loss function. Bayes predictive expected losses are obtained and compared with those of classical predictors and Bayes predictors under squared error loss function to examine their loss robustness.     

Bayes Prediction for a Stratified Regression Superpopulation Model Using Balanced Loss Function

We consider the stratified regression superpopulation model and obtain Bayes predictor of the finite population mean under Zellner's two-criterion balanced loss function (BLF). BLF predictor simplifies to a linear combination of the sample and predictive means. Furthermore, it reduces to some of the well-known classical and Bayes predictors. Relative losses and relative savings loss are obtained to investigate loss robustness of the BLF predictor. It is found to perform better than the usual sample mean as well as the predictive mean in the minimal Bayes predictive expected loss sense.     

Marginal Regression of Multivariate Event Times Based on Linear Transformation Models

Multivariate event time data are common in medical studies and have received much attention recently. In such data, each study subject may potentially experience several types of events or recurrences of the same type of event, or event times may be clustered. Marginal distributions are specified for the multivariate event times in multiple events and clustered events data, and for the gap times in recurrent events data, using the semiparametric linear transformation models while leaving the dependence structures for related events unspecified. We propose several estimating equations for simultaneous estimation of the regression parameters and the transformation function. It is shown that the resulting regression estimators are asymptotically normal, with variance–covariance matrix that has a closed form and can be consistently estimated by the usual plug-in method. Simulation studies show that the proposed approach is appropriate for practical use. An application to the well-known bladder cancer tumor recurrences data is also given to illustrate the methodology.
