Optimizing Credibility Complements in Property and Casualty Insurance: A Data-Driven Approach for Enhanced Premium Estimation

Within the field of property and casualty insurance (P&C), one of the most pertinent dilemmas is the estimation of the insurance premiums required to accommodate potential losses. Due to the inherently random nature of losses, one of the tools utilized within P&C insurance is credibility theory, which utilizes a weighted average between past portfolio data […]

Longitudinal Associations Between 24-Hour Movement Behaviour and Early Life Mental Health Indicators

Common mental health disorders (e.g., anxiety and depression) can begin in early childhood, with many symptoms (e.g., high levels of irritability) present during the early years predicting mental health disorders in later life. Research suggests that healthy movement behaviours (i.e., physical activity, reducing sitting, sufficient sleep) are associated with lower risk of mental health disorders […]
