    Abstract : To estimate the risk of a loss occurring for insurance takers is a difficult task in the insurance industry. It is an even more difficult task to price the risk for reinsurance companies which insures the primary insurers. READ MORE

  3. 2. Estimation of severe crash frequency using two surrogates

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Zhankun Chen; [2022]
    Keywords : Multivariate Extreme Value distributions; Copula; Extreme Value Theory; Crash frequency; Surrogate Meausre of Safety; Road safety; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : This thesis is concerned with the estimation of crash frequency based on the bivariate modeling of surrogate measures of safety (SMoS), which serve as indicators for traffic risk. Using the SMoS, any traffic conflict between two road users can be described by their proximity together with their hypothetical consequence. READ MORE

  4. 3. Extreme value modeling of wind effect on dune erosion on the Coast of ̈Angelholm

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Lionel Arpin-Pont; [2020]
    Keywords : Erosion; Wind speed; Extreme value theory; Block maxima; Peaks over threshold; Copula; Husler-Reiss; Dependence function.; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : The movement of the coast line, due to erosion in one direction or aggregation in theother is a natural process as waves, wind as well as the geological nature of the coast itselfare affecting it.

    Author : Christ-Roi Musonere; [2020]
    Keywords : World s Oldest Person Titleholders; Extreme Value Theory; Generalized Extreme Value Distribution; Generalized Pareto Distribution; Non-Stationary GEV Model; Survival Analysis.; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : A fundamental question in aging research is if the human lifespan has reached its maximum, as it has practical implications and affects the sustainability of our societies and health care systems. This thesis uses methods and techniques from extreme value theory to study human lifespan at extreme age, in particular the age at death of the world’s oldest person (WOP) titleholders. READ MORE
