We define the nagging predictor, which, instead of using bootstrapping to produce a series of i.i.d. predictors, exploits the randomness of neural network calibrations to provide a more stable and accurate predictor than is available from a single neural network run. Convergence results for the...

This paper is concerned with the estimation of forecast error, particularly in relation to insurance loss reserving. Forecast error is generally regarded as consisting of three components, namely parameter, process and model errors. The first two of these components, and their estimation, are...

This study considers the forecasting of mortality rates in multiple populations. We propose a model that combines mortality forecasting and functional data analysis (FDA). Under the FDA framework, the mortality curve of each year is assumed to be a smooth function of age. As with most of the...

assume an unbiased predictive model. In this paper, we address the fact that prediction bias can be nonnegligible in large VA … portfolio valuation and investigate the impact of prediction bias in both the modeling and sampling stages of active learning …. Our experimental results suggest that bias-based sampling can rival the efficacy of traditional ambiguity-based sampling …
