Chapter1 Introduction.
Chapter2 Bayesian Fundamentals.
Chapter3 Advanced Bayesian Computation.
Chapter4 Bayesian Chain Ladder Models.
Chapter5 Bayesian Basis Expansion Models.
Chapter6 Multivariate Modelling Using Copulas.
Chapter7 Epilogue.
This book first provides a review of various aspects of Bayesian statistics. It then investigates three types of claims reserving models in the Bayesian framework: chain ladder models, basis expansion models involving a tail factor, and multivariate copula models. For the Bayesian inferential methods, this book largely relies on Stan, a specialized software environment which applies Hamiltonian Monte Carlo method and variational Bayes. .
