Published / Preprint: Ordinal Classification Method for the Evaluation Of Thai Non-life Insurance Companies. (arXiv:1203.6424v1 [q-fin.RM])

Posted: 29 Mar 2012 05:33 PM PDT

This paper proposes a use of an ordinal classifier to evaluate the financial solidity of non-life insurance companies as strong, moderate, weak, and insolvency.

The proposed model is beneficial...

Stochastic volatility is a hidden Markov model (HMM), and HMMs ordinarily warrant filtering. However, derivative data is a set of conditional expectations that are already observed in the market, so rather than use filtering techniques we compute an \textit{implied...
