Cyber risks are an important point on the business agenda in every company, but they are difficult to assess due to the absence of reliable data and profound analyses. To improve this situation, we identify cyber losses from an operational risk database and analyze these with methods from the field of actuarial science. Specifically, we apply operational risk models in order to yield consistent...

high blood pressure control (hbpc) is a common goal of who and the world hypertension league (whl). the two important strategies in hbpc are identifying cardiovascular (cvd) risk factors and planning to modify controllable factors. this study was accomplished to determine the cvd risk factors in high blood pressure (hbp) patients of the rural population, residing in the babol region, north of i...

We describe a model that takes into account the tail dependence present in a large set of historical risk factor data using the modern concept of copulas. We extend the popular t-copula to obtain a new grouped t-copula which describes more accurately the dependence among risk factors of different classes. We explain how to estimate the parameters of the grouped t-copula and apply the method to ...

The theory of copulae is known to provide a useful tool for modelling dependence in integrated risk management. In the present paper we review and extend some of the more recent results for finding distributional bounds for functions of dependent risks. As an example, the main emphasis is put on Value-at-Risk as a risk measure.

background: increased estimated body iron stores have been recently suggested to be associated with increased risk of acute myocardial infarction (ami); however the question of whether serum ferritin level as an indicator for estimating body iron is an independent risk factor for cardiac events is still questioned. in the present study, we assessed whether serum ferritin was associated with the...
