A new Bayesian model improves forecasting for intermittent demand.

problem Sparse observations, cold-start items, and obsolescence in intermittent demand forecasting.
method Hierarchical Bayesian TSB model with partial pooling and calibrated probabilistic configuration.
result TSB-HB achieves the lowest RMSE and RMSSE on the UCI Online Retail dataset.

The probability of default (PD) estimation is an important process for financial institutions. The difficulty of the estimation depends on the correlations between borrowers. In this paper, we introduce a hierarchical Bayesian estimation method using the beta binomial distribution and consider a multi-year case with a …

The study uses the Merton model to estimate PD and finds a phase transition affecting convergence speed.

problem Estimating the probability of default (PD) using limited historical data.
method Adopted the Merton model and analyzed phase transitions in default correlation.
result PD estimation converges slowly when temporal correlation decays by power law less than one.

Shared Keyboard design improves phase I clinical trials by borrowing information across doses.

problem Interim decisions based on current dose data may overlook signals from neighboring doses.
method Bayesian model-assisted design using Beta kernel process with kernel-weighted pseudo-counts.
result Significant improvements in identifying maximum tolerated dose and safety.

Temporal coarse-graining of multi-sector default count data generates effective correlation matrices and rank copulas.

problem Explaining the difference in default dependence between monthly and annual aggregation.
method Dynamic low-rank state-space model with AR(1) latent credit-state factors.
result Effective correlation matrices and rank copulas are generated from monthly default count data.

Automated scoring prioritizes risky driving behavior in telematic auto insurance policies.

problem Identifying risky driving behavior in telematic auto insurance policies using machine learning.
method Bayesian approach using MCMC to model propensity of policyholders to undertake trips resulting in positive classification.
result The approach improves efficiency of human resource allocation in identifying risky driving behavior.
