New cWGAN method approximates posterior laws in compound loss models

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a conditional Wasserstein generative adversarial network (cWGAN) to approximate posterior laws in compound loss models. This approach allows a single generator to approximate posterior laws for parameters like Poisson intensity and Pareto shape under various prior distributions. The method was validated through simulation-based calibration, comparisons with analytical posteriors and MCMC simulations, and applied to natural catastrophe loss data to analyze aggregate tail risk.

    On the approximation of posterior laws in compound loss models by conditional Wasserstein GANs

    arXiv:2608.27229v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Bayesian inference in compound loss models must often be repeated across policies, market scenarios, and prior specifications. Outside conjugate cases, this may require repeated numerical integration or Markov chain Monte Carlo (M…
