The determinants of the velocity of money have been examined based on life-cycle hypothesis. The velocity of money can be expressed by reciprocal of the average value of holding time which is defined as interval between participating exchanges for one unit of money. This expression indicates that the velocity is govern…

New features from early battery cycles predict lifetime with high accuracy.

problem Accurately predicting battery lifetime under varying conditions is challenging due to manufacturing variability and usage-dependent degradation.
method Extracted features from regularly scheduled reference performance tests and used them to predict battery lifetime using a hierarchical Bayesian regression model.
result Demonstrated a lifetime prediction of in-distribution cells with 15.1% mean absolute percentage error using only the first 15% of data.

The paper explores machine learning methods for proxy modeling in life insurance solvency capital requirements.

problem Life insurance companies need to estimate solvency capital requirements from full loss distributions, but computational limitations restrict full simulations.
method The paper presents various adaptive machine learning approaches to approximate the risk-dependent proxy function using least-squares Monte Carlo.
result The machine learning methods significantly improve the accuracy and efficiency of proxy modeling compared to traditional regression techniques.

An analytic model is presented that considers the evolution of a market of durable goods. The model suggests that after introduction goods spread always according to a Bass diffusion. However, this phase will be followed by a diffusion process for durable consumer goods governed by a variation-selection-reproduction me…

The study examines how different interpolation methods affect the decomposition of life insurance surplus.

problem The impact of different interpolation methods on the decomposition of life insurance surplus.
method The study uses the IASU decomposition method to analyze the effects of different interpolation methods (Lee-Carter and linear) on the surplus decomposition.
result Lee-Carter and linear interpolation yield almost identical decompositions, while constant approximations result in different decompositions.

We consider the insurance company as a physical system which is immersed in its environment (the financial market). The insurer company interacts with the market by exchanging the money through the payments for loss claims and receiving the premium. Here in the equilibrium state we obtain the premium by using the canon…

Survey of technologies for trustworthy machine learning systems.

problem Building machine learning systems that are fair, explainable, auditable, and secure.
method Survey of technologies across data and model stages of machine learning.
result Four categories of system properties (fairness, explainability, auditability, safety & security) are essential for trustworthy systems.

We determine the optimal amount of life insurance for a household of two wage earners. We consider the simple case of exponential utility, thereby removing wealth as a factor in buying life insurance, while retaining the relationship among life insurance, income, and the probability of dying and thus losing that income…

Within the Own Risk and Solvency Assessment framework, the Solvency II directive introduces the need for insurance undertakings to have efficient tools enabling the companies to assess the continuous compliance with regulatory solvency requirements. Because of the great operational complexity resulting from each comple…

result Highly accurate predictions of migration and nymphal stages for better pesticide application timing.

In this paper we study data from the yearly reports the four major Swedish non-life insurers have sent to the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority (FSA). We aim at finding marginal distributions of, and dependence between, losses on the five largest lines of business (LoBs) in order to create models for Solvency Cap…
