Synopses & Reviews
The book develops the capabilities arising from the cooperation between mathematicians and statisticians working in insurance and finance fields. It gathers some of the papers presented at the conference MAF2010, held in Ravello (Amalfi coast), and successively, after a reviewing process, worked out to this aim.
Synopsis
Reflecting the cooperation of mathematicians and statisticians working in relevant fields, this volume provides state-of-the-art material on the development and real-world implementation of statistical and mathematical models in actuarial and finance sciences.
