Modelling claim dependencies for the general insurance industry with economic capital in view: an innovative approach with stochastic processes. This project will develop and enhance multi-dimensional models used to describe and assess the risks borne by general insurers. These innovative methods, which will be directly applicable by the industry, will strengthen the efficiency and the safety of the Australian economy.
New methods for modelling real-world extremes. This project aims to develop new theory and methods for analysing and predicting extreme values observed in real-world processes. Many existing techniques are limited by convenient mathematical assumptions that commonly do not hold in practice: dependence at asymptotic levels, process stationarity, and that the observed data are direct measurements of the process of interest. As a result, using these techniques may produce undesirable results. Expec ....New methods for modelling real-world extremes. This project aims to develop new theory and methods for analysing and predicting extreme values observed in real-world processes. Many existing techniques are limited by convenient mathematical assumptions that commonly do not hold in practice: dependence at asymptotic levels, process stationarity, and that the observed data are direct measurements of the process of interest. As a result, using these techniques may produce undesirable results. Expected outcomes of this project include theoretically justified data analysis techniques that can accurately model extreme values seen in the real world. Project benefits include more realistic analyses of nationally important applications in climate, bushfire insurance risk, and anomaly detection.Read moreRead less
