Dear Colleagues,
Welcome to the Special Issue on "Statistical Applications to Insurance and Risk". This Special Issue aims to explore innovative statistical methodologies and their applications in the insurance and risk management domain. Insurance and risk assessment are integral components of modern financial and business strategies. They play a crucial role in safeguarding against unforeseen events and uncertainties.

We invite contributions that highlight novel statistical approaches, models, and tools that address various aspects of insurance and risk analysis. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Actuarial Science: statistical methods for premium pricing, reserving, and loss modeling.
Risk Management: advanced statistical techniques for risk assessment and mitigation.
Data Analytics: big data analytics and machine learning in insurance applications.
Extreme Value Theory: statistical modeling of rare and extreme events.
Fraud Detection: statistical methods for detecting insurance fraud.
Catastrophe Modeling: statistical approaches to assess and manage catastrophic risks.
Health and Life Insurance: statistical modeling in health and life insurance contexts.
Cyber Insurance: statistical analysis of cybersecurity risks.
Climate and Environmental Risks: statistical methods for climate-related and environmental risk assessment.
We encourage submissions that promote interdisciplinary collaboration between statisticians, actuaries, economists, and experts in the insurance and risk management industry.
